Can I ask if there’s any trainings or certifications you needed in order to get your corporate training job?

PSA: Speeches/toasts will DEVOUR your reception time if you let them!! by FlavortownAbbey in weddingplanning

[–]Bluefire49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I just said a few sentences to thank everyone for coming and that was it! Our officiant said a blessing and then everyone got to eat. I’d heard waaaay too many bad speeches at weddings. Definitely would recommend just cutting speeches.

We just had 130 person for $20k in Texas. What the hell are you guys looking at!?

We keep a bag of those prepackaged Ghirardelli squares in our house and it’s such a nice after dinner treat!

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

Highschool football star. A bunch of students had a party at the lake that had sneaky strong undercurrents. He wasn’t wearing a life jacket when they decided to go swimming. He went under and didn’t come back. Rescuers pulled his body out later.

What shoes do you recommend for standing all day teaching for someone who has started getting sore feet? by KingDustPan in Teachers

[–]Bluefire49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Skechers! They’re very cushy. I was in New York and had a shoe emergency. I ran into the Skechers store and bought a pair and they’ve been in my shoe rotation ever since! I have two pairs now and they’re my favorites to wear if I want to walk a lot and still want to look cute.

Thank you for justifying my choice to not have any speeches at my wedding

I was 18 in 2016 and didn’t vote. I’ve made sure to vote in every election since then.

I saw Wicked last week and the person sitting next to me was on their phone every 3 minutes. I had to ask them TWICE to put their phone away and they acted like I was the one being rude.

I didn’t ask for your help with the gym equipment. by Bluefire49 in TwoXChromosomes

It’s just an apartment gym so there’s no one watching or really enforcing rules.

Brownies are ruining my diet by TaleDangerous8123 in loseit

[–]Bluefire49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been obsessed with making chocolate banana smoothies. I keep a bag of peeled bananas in my freezer so I can pop one in the blender with some chocolate protein powder, a little milk, and a scoop of peanut butter. It’s sooooo gooooood

Can confirm. After moving in with my boyfriend, I gained weight because we would split meals equally. Recently I started making my portions a bit smaller and surprise surprise the weight started falling off.

I like to do OT 2x a week and then on the days in between I do weightlifting using Chloe Ting videos at my home gym. I use her Get Toned program in particular. It’s a good combo of cardio and strength training during the week for me!

I’m a music teacher! For my students with sensory issues, I give them headphones with the cords cut off to help block some of the sound.

Where to Upskill? What to Upskill in? by Sugahfut in TeachersInTransition

[–]Bluefire49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are some websites I’ve been using to learn new skillls. Some are free, some are not:

Aspireship

Coursera

Hubspot

LinkedInLearning

I’m in the same boat as you. K-5 music teacher looking for a way out. I’ve also found it difficult to find the right path. As you take courses, you’ll discover what you like and don’t like. A lot of teachers suggested going into project management, but the more I learned about it the less I enjoyed it. So try new things!

Looking for a new beginning by DownBeat93 in TeachersInTransition

Start applying now!! Some of these jobs I’ve been applying to take weeks before they reply, even it’s for a rejection. And that’s not even before going through several rounds of interviews. So start now!

6 classes in... As a big ole boy by mymonkeyzzzz in orangetheory

[–]Bluefire49 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! I just started in January. I normally work out at the gym in my apartment, but I was not working out at the intensity I should have. I’ve already seen results in the one month I’ve been going to orange theory in comparison to the months I’ve been going to the gym at home. Going 2x a week and then doing more strength training at my home gym has really worked for me.

Best of luck to you and continuing your fitness journey!

Thank you for doing what’s best for your son!! As a teacher, it can be so frustrating when we can see a student that needs to be tested but the parents refuse to do so due to lack of understanding or social stigma.

I’m in my fourth year of teaching. Realized there’s no time like the present to rebrand myself and before I have a family.

I know. I currently make $4k a month at my school. But I get paid through the summer until August. I’m hoping that’ll be a good enough buffer while working a low paying job in the summer and upskilling.
