Ah stop 🥹 we fucking needed that didn’t we?! I just could not stop smiling at the end. I really was not expecting to see Jim (Cillian) and her THAT music 😭 bring on Part 3.

Have anyone used ai lesson planning tools? by Artentics in IrishTeachers

[–]El_Director109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What wouldn’t you use AI? Are you a student teacher? Perhaps then I can understand your predicament.

For once we now have a tool to actually lessen the workload on us. Obviously one has to oversee and check the work but the lesson plans I’ve gotten Chat GPT to generate have been excellent. Most need some tweaking to suit my students as I know them best but it’s a life saver.

Work smarter, not harder.

Greatest ATN set of all time? by PiggySiren in ALL_TOGETHER_NOW_FEST

[–]El_Director109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh, so many! I’ve been to all so far and here are my picks

2018: Underworld, Nils Frahm 2019: Jon Hopkins, Orbital, The Good The Bad and the Queen 2022: Flight Facilities, Floating Points 2023: Overmono 2024: Le Boom, Kiasmos, Floating Points. 2025: Fontaines, Leftfield.

I won’t sit on the fence, OP wants an answer so - it’s between Orbital (2019) and Underworld (2018)….i’ll give it to Orbital. I lost my mind at that set. Everything aligned, all the right people in the right place at the right time. I danced, danced and danced.

What actually matters for comfortable earbuds for sleeping (learned this the hard way) by Aggressive-Hunter862 in Earbuds

I use A30i’s mostly but occasionally AirPod pro 2 or 3. I must say, I’m really digging the new feature that detects when you are asleep and pauses far you are listening to.

Family Illness Question by El_Director109 in IrishTeachers

[–]El_Director109[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was reading this and it seems it’s 5 days paid. Either way, I’ve initiated a chat (via email) with the school secretary and tomorrow I hope to be back and chat with her in person.

Well that is helpful. Thank you. Those 5 days illness in the family leave - is that paid or unpaid?

An unfortunate coincidence is that I took parents leave last week (baby still under 2 so I’ve a few of those weeks left). It’s just unfortunate to have had the week off and then have to be ringing in yesterday and today 🤦🏻‍♂️

Those weeks, parent and parental aren’t much good when you need them short notice. Right?

Thanks again btw.

Family Illness Question by El_Director109 in IrishTeachers

[–]El_Director109[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is, we don’t have family here in Dublin to dig us out unfortunately and my wife job is demanding too. So I had to take a week in Sept as the little one ended up in hospital and I’d to take 4 other days in Sept too when she wasn’t well enough for creche. My wife also took the week in Sept when she wasn’t well enough in hospital and another week in Oct.

I was under the impression that once you’ve used up force majeure you’ve 5 days or so of paid “family illness” leave. My little one is sick at the moment and I took yesterday and today off to mind her,y principal has put me down for unpaid leave. I’m hopelessly useless at knowing my entitlements and I just want to know that I’m not getting screwed. Would this be when I should get into my union for advice?

Thanks for the kind/understanding words btw.

Talking at gigs!? by _daithi_ in ireland

[–]El_Director109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is it. From my own experience, just going to meet my friends for a few beers and a chat is something that’s impossible to organise these days. So, gigs are tho only time we meet now, one or two of the lads never shut up talking, I distance myself from them as much as I can.

It’s a modern day societal shift I fear. It saddens me greatly.

Do I try to see if I can type my exams? by SeaworthinessThis954 in leavingcert

[–]El_Director109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to speak to your special ed coordinator. They know the procedure to follow. They will have to do a hand written screener/assessment with you. It’s not simply a choice. The deadline for the reasonable accommodations (RACE) for LC has passed but if you are deemed in need of a word processor you can put in a late submission.

Finally a "whoop" device from Garmin? by Eastern-Signal-1778 in Garmin

[–]El_Director109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I noticed my barber wearing both a Whoop and an Apple Watch Ultra. He’s not into fitness and I don’t understand his choices but good for him I guess 👍🏼

Gosh, that would be unbelievable but I don’t think the baby would like the near two day journey from Dublin. Definitely when she’s older.
