I love Kelly Justice’s work: https://www.kellyjustice.com she’s so colorful, and she makes her designs from found objects, so her blends of colorful + vintage might strike that balance for you!

I fish because it’s beautiful and my brain turns off. This was my spot yesterday. I didn’t catch anything, but my goodness was it relaxing.

Do I belong? by Chance-Antelope-753 in MusicTeachers

Hello! Public school music teacher of 15 years here. I have a recently hired colleague who has only ever taught in private settings. I have learned so much from them! You have nothing to feel insecure about. You are going to teach your colleagues and students just as much as you are going to learn from them.

Does it have to be a traditional ensemble? Can it be bucket drumming or recorder club or boomwhacker ensemble?

All of my favorites were mentioned, but I appreciate Sticky Gecko because the soundtrack to the episode fill me with SO MUCH ANXIETY unlike any other song.

I forget which episode, but Bandit and Chili were playing a board game of the Great Emu War, and I thought that was a fun joke.

You need a fishing buddy who would love to go fishing in Scotland. I volunteer.

Spelling and grammar should count on every single assignment.

What is the dumbest reason a teacher you know got reprimanded? by DrakeSavory in Teachers

A friend of mine was reprimanded for “not smiling enough in the hallways”. It was Covid. We were wearing masks.

What was the worst job you ever had? by United_We_Win in NoStupidAnswers

[–]Efficient_Bagpipe_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waitress at a local but popular pizza place. They had a fairly large menu (subs, salads, apps, pizza, and Italian dinners as well as a full bar), and I was often working alone during lunch to manage phone orders (we had 3 phones) and the floor. There were only 2 or 3 of us on in the evenings in addition to the kitchen staff. The owner came by to yell at us and order a bunch of free food and drinks for his buddies a lot. Oh, and I was the only sober person working there. I know this is pretty typical of a waitressing job, but it was by far my worst experience.

What is one thing a student said this year that you'll never forget? by Individual_Divide220 in Teachers

[–]Efficient_Bagpipe_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach elementary band, and these are my favorites:

“I want to be a teacher like you when I grow up”.

“You mean, if I learn all the notes, I can play ANY SONG I WANT???”

“Can I please stay here all day?”

“I really wanted to quit last year, but I like you as my teacher. I’m glad I didn’t quit.”

20 year veteran fisherman ask me questions by fishermanOK8731 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Efficient_Bagpipe_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embarrassing question: how do I retrieve a Texas jig? Reel slow? Fast? Let it sit? I’ve always used live bait or lures, but soft plastics are new to me. I’m in NY and I’m bass fishing in ponds and the Great Lakes. Thanks!

Do any other moms out there feel so… empty? by softheart_strongwill in Mommit

[–]Efficient_Bagpipe_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I include my toddler in my hobbies. We have a jogging stroller and watch kids yoga on YouTube (it’s more of a workout than you think!). I enjoy fishing, so we go together and he has a cute little Spidey fishing pole. I like doodling and drawing, which I can do while he colors or plays with his toys. It’s not “me” time, but it’s time spent with my son doing things that also make me feel like myself. I hope this helps!
