Mr. PR Peson's Apology (Let It Snow Part 5-and Last)

Immediately after Mr. Important Superintendent sent his email, it was followed by an email from Mr. PR Person, minus a song. He basically danced around the issue of the poor decision the district made today. I will include two interesting sections from his email, and of course, my comments, if necessary, will be in parenthesis... "...we have confirmed reports of three minor accidents involving our busses with no injuries reported. We have also heard anecdotally of minor accidents involving KSD staff, students, and family members, but again, no reports of injuries or serious accidents(Ah, come on. They were just little fender benders. Who cares? I make enough money...Oh, you don't? You are just an underpaid teacher? A poor student? Oh, well. Be glad it wasn't fatal.)..." Actually, one of the "minor accidents involving" a bus was on the local news. I'm sure, since most districts closed, no one could figure out why our busses were on the road. I bet it brought even more embarrassment to the district. Then, at the end of his email, was this statement: "...Finally – a personal note: I want to apologize for the jocular tone of my first email this morning. I often try to infuse a light touch into my communications as a way of reminding myself and others of the very trying but human nature of our tasking. It was meant to encourage folks through what was then expected to be a light challenge, but given the actual conditions faced by commuters, it has been understandably received as being dismissive of real travel challenges and dangers that should have been more obvious. I made a mistake and I am sincerely sorry if my poorly placed levity added to your difficulty today. I am always amazed at the commitment of our staff in times of challenge and I so much regret that my choice of words or style might have added even a moment of discomfort to your already trying day..." It does seem heartfelt. Did you notice he used the word levity? The same word I used in my email I sent earlier to Mr. Important Superintendent. Coincidence? Maybe...
