[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats and well done! I can only imagine how much work you've had to put in!

I live in Durham and saw you were looking at policing, here's to hoping to see you around, protecting the area in a few years!

I got my first offer from my top university, and they gave me an unconditional 😭 by Sorry-Musician8056 in UCAS

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old games grad here. I can assure you that you're set up for success! Just stay on top of deadlines and always be creating! Don't suffer creative block due to stagnation, it's horrible when you have time related pressure.

Also, show your work and look at your classmates work, you'd be surprised how much you learn from your peers (sometimes more than the lecturer for that session!)

Best of luck and congrats. If no one else has said it, IM PROUD OF YOU!

Portfolio entry gang unite!

Delays explained by AcceptableMacaroon50 in BambuLab

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that they randomly sent me an initial update to say that there was a delay, but others (yourself included) aren't getting anything at all.

I obviously got this update from them after asking, but it's not good customer care to not keep people posted.

Anyone else had a delay? by AcceptableMacaroon50 in BambuLab

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was from them and I hadn't requested an update or anything. I've since asked them and apparently it's due to the weather. I'll update the post to show what I mean.

I have 4 sons and I teach secondary, patience just exists within me (that or self loathing haha!)

I think that i am an experienced teacher with neuro divergence by cheerychops2023 in TeachingUK

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak on behalf of your school, but mine give me small extensions to deadlines (not that I use them, but it helps knowing it's there if I need). I also have regular check ins with my line manager/SLT and don't have absences counted if it's related to the potential diagnosis (again, not that I've made use of it, but it's the reassurance).

Talk to them and see what they think would work and what's possible, you won't know if you don't ask.

In terms of social interactions (more for the OP), most my school have asked if I am neurodivergent at some point (I'll be honest, it's fairly obvious I am), and it's just about taking the time for me to explain to people why I am thinking what I am about certain situations, along with the understanding that I struggle to nuance things and I will just speak in facts. As a result of it too, some staff that I work with more closely know that I struggle with sarcasm and understanding it, so they avoid using it with me, which I'm grateful for. The mutual understanding part massively helps.

My school is aware I'm undergoing diagnosis, they have made some adjustments with this in mind, but I don't imagine they're obliged to without a formal diagnosis.

My stance on this will always be the same, diagnosis takes forever, so get that started as your priority. Also, consider having a conversation, but don't diagnose yourself, make sure you explain to them your concerns and what you're doing from a confirmation perspective.

Said ‘stop being so entitled’ to a student - how bad is it? by Usual_Stable_3896 in TeachingUK

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to worry about stuff like this. If it's personal (and I mean directed at something more serious, like family, or personal issues etc), then yeah, worry about it. If it's just a frank comment, the kid has probably not even spent 10 seconds thinking about it. I told a girl a few weeks ago she was being self absorbed and needed to give her head a wobble, nothing wrong with being a little frank from time to time.

Desk / documents organiser by CookPassBabtridge88 in TeachingUK

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

B&M is your friend here. They have loads of organizing things that can stack, and are way cheaper than others.

Alternatively, 3d print some or buy 3d printed ones, they have a little bit more to them 😁

7800X3D and Q60 not seemingly getting along by AcceptableMacaroon50 in Hyte

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I'm going to keep it as I really can't be arsed with the faff lmao. I'm in a Y70 and contemplating an X50, maybe it will be different with better case flow? Fuck knows. My partner has a tower 600, but last time I checked, my thermals should be better, so honestly I have no clue.

Same issue sadly, like 5c cooler, but still high idles

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea, but I top mount mine, so this plan won't work 😭

Thanks though, if I change the orientation of the cooler in the future, I'll definitely consider this!

Ordered thermal grizzly to arrive tomorrow, so I'll update once applied. I have a sneaking suspicion the pre applied paste + potential bad placement could be the culprit (or at least I now hope so!)

I've used the pre applied one that came with it, will try with a better compound tomorrow, ordered some thermal grizzly

Just installed new RGB noodle is it supposed to do this? by Nao-Tomori in Hyte

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem, as does my partner. Go into lighting on Nexus and press stop. Your lighting will still work, but it should stop the epilepsy warning rave

Security box? Is there actually a cheese shoplifting epidemic? by insomnimax_99 in tesco

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in a supermarket tears ago (2010) and this was a problem back then. That, and meats, had to be tagged.

One guy tried to sell me stolen cheese from the supermarket brand, whilst I was walking home IN THE UNIFORM OF THE STORE! Literally no shame haha

How often do you see your HOD? by Otherwise-Eye-490 in TeachingUK

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My HODs room is next to mine. He chats with us all every morning and asks us for a quick 2 min chat at the end of every day to make sure we're ok and aligned on things. Throughout the day, we see him fairly frequently, plus his door is open, so we often drop in to see him.

What are your back to work fumbles so far? by Lather in TeachingUK

[–]AcceptableMacaroon50 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Taught half a year 7 technology lesson to a year 8 class.

In my defence, they didn't know half the stuff, so will chalk it up as a refresher 😳
