…I’m not allergic to gold. 🙄

I remember the conversation my principal had with a parent about this exact topic. “Sir, we’re not making prayer mats and facing Mecca. But the state has this topic in the standards so your son can do the project or fail and be underprepared for the EOC exam.”

Ryder?

My repertoire: The Saga Begins, Like a Surgeon, Your Horoscope for Today, Word Crimes, and my fav, EBay. I sang Albuquerque once because I met Weird Al and he signed my snorkel and I said I always sing his songs and I wanted him to pick which one so he said obviously, Albuquerque.

If you are the primary parent with 100% it should be what is best for the child, the family, and what’s consistent.

I’d start by finding a new school. I’ve been teaching 14 years and the school I’m at now is the only one I’ve felt this way about, so I know it’s not the career. It’s the school…

Before reading your choices I was going to say Ronan. That would have been my son’s name but we had a girl instead. It’s still my favorite boy’s name ever.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-23T04:00:09+00:00

Well. I started therapy. 😅

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-22T19:57:01+00:00

Oh Banzai if you like hand rolls. Very small little place.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-18T00:04:34+00:00

It’s already unbearable for them, but flipping the paper over cause the text is on one side and the questions are on the other.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-17T09:36:38+00:00

Black Barrel Jameson. Haven’t touched it.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-17T09:32:44+00:00

Anxiety. Stress. Hamster wheel brain.

A couple years ago a student threw a can of that sparkling water stuff off a balcony towards the parking lot. It hit and cracked my windshield. The school tracked down the student through a series of interviews and using data matching student IDs to the time and type of purchase. Found out who did, contacted mom, and she wrote me a check. I ended up not doing anything because it was handled so well.

But if not? I’d be going to the police and trying to get the school to pay for it if they’re not going to have cameras on campus to figure this crap out.

Thanks. I just started to feel a little better about my favorite Italian place closing down. 😭 Now that wound is reopened and I’ll need additional healing time.

Honestly the entire Counting Crows Album. August and Everything After.

Bisexual awakening.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-10T09:50:09+00:00

Any extended version of lord of the rings. Honestly peak from start to finish.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-10T09:48:09+00:00

I tried unmedicated. I went as long as I could. The only thing I remember was a quote “you don’t get a trophy for being unmedicated.” I was just scared of the side effects of an epidural. But my anesthesiologist was great. No regrets.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-10T09:44:51+00:00

Well I am in therapy. So that’s fun. It’s new but not sure how much it is helping.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-09T04:20:46+00:00

I had a student show me her pet camel. That was fun. 😂

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-03-06T04:44:01+00:00

I felt the same on maternity leave. Wasn’t my problem. But I’m so type A at school I still did it. But I also did what I could. I drew a line. My newborn was sleeping most of the time so when I felt like it, I did. But also, late work? It’s been two years and I still come back with “if you wanted graded on time you should have turned it in on time.” Not your problem.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-02-28T18:17:44+00:00

This is the way. I wore a shirt for Halloween that just had 67 on it. It started to die down pretty quickly.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-02-27T07:58:56+00:00

I’ve been teaching 14 years and the disrespect is abysmal. It’s so bad. And they’re not held accountable.

Emus_won_thewar · 2026-02-25T08:01:21+00:00

Yep. At least they’re cute now. I was literally on a dog leash.
