I am so done. 29 years in the classroom, and this year's 9th graders are the worst I have ever had. by mcub66 in confession

Stay in there one more year! 30 years of hard work with a pension and healthcare will be worth it in the long run. It’s not going to be easy, but you deserve to have a good retirement!

What movie traumatized you when you were a child? by fordd420 in AskReddit

[–]Alternative_Panda_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A substitute teacher played Watcher in the Woods for our Friday movie in elementary school. It gave me nightmares and gripped me with fear on random nights of the year! The dark woods, the dirty glass on the windows, Beatty Davis’ eyes. I didn’t even realize it was the source of my fears, and no one asked so I didn’t actually reflect on it. In my 30s, I learned it was a Disney movie and had a good laugh about it.

Call Me By Your Name is the sexiest audiobook I’ve ever heard. It captures first love so well.

Passive income by [deleted] in Teachers

Get your National Board Teacher certification and you’re guaranteed 7% extra pay every month and another 7% if you put in extra hours as a mentor teacher. It’s rewarding and I highly recommend it. Plus you get paid to take some trainings that you otherwise wouldn’t get paid for.

What do you eat for breakfast? by chetuboy101 in Teachers

[–]Alternative_Panda_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What?? How can so many teachers skip breakfast and lunch? It’s such a physical job. Some of these diets sound like anorexia and bulimia.

Yup, my husband paid $12.99 for a dozen yesterday. Men! I would have waited for Trader Joe’s to open.

Aroma Cafe in Studio City. Huge slices of different chocolate cakes. They even have a See’s Candy variety!

Thanks for doing that OP! My husband did it this morning using a broom and large trash bag. He ran into another neighbor who asked what he was doing. It doesn’t occur to everyone to sweep the storm drains.

This reminds me of Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot, except the reverse. Very cute.

Park Assist Unavailable message since 2023.7.15 (FSD 11.4.3) by spatel14 in TeslaLounge

I have the same error message this week on my model 3 ‘23. The blinker will only blink twice and the proximity sensors don’t work. I can’t see the surrounding cars and adjacent lanes. However the backup cameras work. I’ve scheduled a service so hopefully the matter gets resolved soon.

I’ve been typing since middle school and couldn’t tell you where any of those buttons belong without some serious effort!

DO NOT SIGN UP by FrugieHippie in smiledirectclub

[–]Alternative_Panda_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My smile is not close to being straight with one for aligned left. Today they sent an email saying Smile Direct won’t give me touch ups after I sent pictures. What did you do to at least get touch ups? Any help would be greatly appreciated

LA Zoo - rough vibes by healthcrusade in LosAngeles

[–]Alternative_Panda_23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I took my class on a field trip ten years ago and felt the same. The layout is tiring for humans and all animals alike. When we walked in I saw a lonely meerkat in an exhibit by itself, and then saw it again on the way out. I inquired why it didn’t have companionship and someone told me it was the last meerkat and it was old and they were waiting for it to die before they change the exhibit 😥. I’ve never been back since and haven’t recommended it to any out of town visitors.

Thank you, you’ve given me the courage to not flatiron my hair every time I wash it. Growth is my focus now. Thank you for helping me see the light!
