If you dig through old posts, you'll find one where I was skeptical. I was completely wrong. My school has been completely face-to-face instruction this year. We have not have a single case of COVID transmitted at school. We are able to keep kids six feet apart and they all wear masks. I honestly hope the sanitizing everything trend doesn't go away.

I typically shut off the work stuff around 7:00 p.m. each night. People know to text me if it is important. I don't like people thinking that I am hear at all hours to answer their questions. Sometimes, just to keep home and work separate, I will answer an email in the evening, but schedule it to send the next morning. This gets it off my list of to dos, keeps people from bothering me, and makes people feel important because answering their question was the first thing I did when I got in the office.

I quit about ten years ago... I don't remember the exact date either. At one point, I had a bit too much to drink and thought it would be a good idea to have a cigarette because I enjoyed it so much while drunk in the past. I lit the cigarette and thought I was going to die. It was disgusting. Even though I put it out right away, I could smell it on my fingers for days.

I have some crazy vivid dreams on a regular basis. That's nothing new. The past couple of nights, I have had flat-out nightmares. Reading them, it is so unreal, it is funny. But I have been waking up in the middle of the night scared to death... Here's the weird thing.... I am not currently interviewing for a job. I'm really only doing the normal "looking for a job, but it must be 100% what I want" before I apply. Not sure why I am having these dreams. Nightmare 1: I am getting ready to head into a job interview. Right before I go into the room, I realize I am wearing a shirt and t

It is soooooo much easier than waxing a car. I wish I would have know about this years ago. If this coating lasts half as long as they claim, it will be a huge improvement.

So tell us about one of your more memorable teachers
Forum Administrator replied to Philander Seabury's topic in The Café
I'm trying to be positive, so I will talk about a good teacher.... A couple of years ago, I looked him up and he was still teaching at the high school I went to. I sat down and wrote him a letter. I told him how much he helped me not just as an English student, but also as an incredibly awkward young man. He introduced me to American literature. He encouraged me to read Kurt Vonnegut. My senior paper was based on a Nine Inch Nails song and he encouraged it. He also treated me like a person. I wasn't the best kid in high school, but he was always kind to me. I got a letter back fr -
I moved his blanket when he got up and now he is where he belongs.

He would sit next to me every night... then, someone moved his blanket. He is now happily sleeping on the other side of the room. I feel so betrayed.

How Many Of Us Went To Catholic School?

I’ve spent the last 21 years in a Catholic school. -
Has anyone here made their own corned beef from brisket? I was debating doing that this year... But, I am the only one in my house that likes corned beef, so it is an expensive meal for one.

Would you be embarrassed to wear hearing aids?

My grandfather would turn his off all the time. It was hilarious. My grandmother would be complaining about something and he would just be sitting there, enjoying his dinner. I miss that guy. -
Due to Covid precautions, the flu this winter is almost non-existant
Forum Administrator replied to Aire's topic in The Café
It's weird... I got my first COVID vaccine shot and I ended up with a bit of a runny nose afterward. It was only then I realized I had not had a single day of feeling bad this winter. After a few hours, I was kind of irritated that I used to just put up with a runny nose. Although finding substitute teachers has been terrible this year, there are almost no 5:30 a.m. calls from teachers telling me they are sick. (Except that one teacher who is always sick on Fridays before a long weekend.) -

I keep coming back to this one. The only thing keeping me from commiting is the length of time.
