| 0:00.0 | A teaching consultant Karen gets hired at a school and then doesn't show up to work for weeks, |
| 0:05.6 | she no-call no-shows. But then gets her lawyer husband to sue the school to get paid for all |
| 0:11.0 | those weeks that she never went to work. In the most vindictive malicious way possible, |
| 0:15.2 | she wins the battle, but loses the war, and ruins her life, both professionally and personally. |

| 0:27.3 | This story starts with Mrs. P, the principal because that's what she is. Mrs. P started as a |
| 0:31.9 | special needs caretaker where she had to study through years of work and graduated with a doctorate |

| 1:38.5 | announced that she will start her work on August 20th about a week before the school year starts, |
| 1:43.5 | as the staff needs to organize a school for the opening of the school year. Karen protests that |
