Don't drink the koolaid

I hate it when a supposedly secure and dependable website suddenly loses all my information. We have a state-run website for teacher job openings (public schools). It used to be a one-stop application process; not quite so much now, but still, I've had my profile there for several years. Today I looked and saw something intriguing, but before I could proceed, there was an alert to update my profile. OK, start date needs to be fixed. No problem, right?  WRONG! All the rest of my info seems to be gone. Damn if I want to go through all that shit again. This is at least the second time their server has done this, and I'm tired of it. There isn't another place to see all, or almost all, of the public school openings in the state. Outside stuff like Monster and Indeed is outdated by the time they list it, and their search functions are useless.

Don't forget David Sirota's investigation of the money trail behind the PBS  'documentary' series bashing public pension programs.
