I know this is going to kill my karma, but WTF?? That is the most poorly written article I've ever seen on here and I'd wager that most would find it completely off-topic for the site.

Where I currently work, the IT department falls under the supervision of the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum & Instruction.

Woohoo! Made it into one of the UID clubs! Now if only I had registered when I actually started reading it, I'd be in the 4 digit club... Oh well...
