Writes our submitter: “My fourth-grade son had to fill out an application for a classroom job at school. His first choice was ‘Cubby Monitor.’ (The cubby is where the student place their coats and book bags during the school day.) Apparently, the young lady that currently does the job is apparently not living up to his expectations!”

Elementary school is a cold and unforgiving world.

Sounds like a future hiring manager/CEO in the making?

Someone on Facebook actually commented (I’ll never understand that — the people who see the notification from the PAN Facebook page, come here to read the post, but then go back over to Facebook to post their reactions!), and I quote:
…I can only assume this is the first PAN that person’s ever read, if he truly feels that way.

If there wont be a follow up about the epic battle between the former cubby monitor and the note writer I’ll be severly disappointed.

Twenty years from now, they’ll be married, and she’ll dream of the days he cared where shoes and coats go.

Let’s see… Overly confident? Check. Trashes the opponent? Check. Sanctimonious? Check. All up in everyone’s business? Check.
This guy is Congress-bound for sure.

I like this kid. He’s pro-active.
I remember back in grade 4, we had a “classroom library” from which people could sign out books. Only the kids managing the signing-in and signing-out were doing a lousy job, leading to many accusations of lost or overdue books that had actually been re-filed on the shelf long ago. I probably should have spoken up more and offered to take over, but there were limits even to my obnoxiousness.

Oh sure, he thinks the job is so easy. Then he has to deal with Xander, who deliberately leave his boots there instead of taking them home because they’re a hideous hand-me-down from his fashion-challenged older brother, and his mother won’t replace “perfectly good boots with nothing wrong with them!” Xander doesn’t like the letter-writer constantly being up in his face about the boots, and this leads to a feud that spawns the next 4 generations of their families. You don’t want this job, kiddo. It’s not worth the pain.

I read it as “chubby monitor” and almost did a spit take.
