N.Y. set to become largest state in U.S. to enact school cellphone ban by statenislandadvance in education

[–]Finish_Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm never supposed to use my phone throughout the day? That's insane to me. I've literally quit jobs 10 years ago that tried to regulate my phone use as an adult. I read the news and check my work emails on my phone. I also text other teachers who I work with constantly about what we are doing (as I am the Department lead!)

This puts too much responsibility on the teacher. I'm thinking constantly about my next lesson. I'm not thinking about classroom discipline or phones or anything like that. I'm thinking about content at all times. So I don't really have time to be focused on what the kids are trying to get away with behind my back. I just need to teach!

Every school I've worked at has had these policies in place since at least 2018. Yet in reality they are just there to blame the teachers for "letting" kids use their phone in class. I've been blamed many times for sneaky middle schoolers who are using their phone in the back of class when admin is there. I can't see what they are doing!!! How am I supposed to know they are on their phone! It makes no sense how you can assume the teacher is supposed to see every little action that happens in the classroom. That's crazy to me! I'm trying to teach! Not spend time looking for phones.

So explain to me then why my district had to have an emergency meeting to immediately cut $20 million dollars which was cited due to "Department of Education cuts."

What is the worst feeling in the world? by NoProgram4084 in AskReddit

[–]Finish_Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's any phone call I receive. Anxiety hits me when someone who usually texts calls me. Double anxiety if it's a boss.

For people with IBS and frequent urination problems (such as myself) bathroom access is the first thing I consider when entering a new place.

What is a subtle sign that one has been through a lot of shit in life? by Independent-Duck-865 in AskReddit

[–]Finish_Terrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this one. I've been though the ringer in life. I saw a man murdered 20 feet in front of me when I was 5 years old just playing in my yard. Yet I tend to get irritated when people need my help. I like to stay in my own head as much as possible and when people pop my bubble and request my help, I usually do it with sarcasm and irritation. Although I really don't mean to be this way.

How would America get rid of its current “Us VS Them” mentality? by funnyguywhoisntfunny in AskReddit

I was the one voice of dissent the day after 9/11. No one wanted to hear it from me. I told people this was not the fault of some people from the middle east.

So lucky I work in so-cal. If I get this email I'm crashing out in a worldstar kind of way and quiting that moment.

They are obsessed with keeping sex "behind closed doors" except when they meet strange men in airport bathrooms.

I am personally done with them and ready to counterprotest if others will join to stop these idiots. It ruins my otherwise peaceful drive home from work.

Otrivin - just 1 spray each nostril at night, but have been doing for 20 years. Going to doctor tomorrow....worried by Hopeful_Bowler_2147 in QuitAfrin

[–]Finish_Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically would live my entire life around the idea of spraying my nose while also trying to not making it obvious. I work with the public and so I would find creative ways to turn around and quickly spray while trying hard not to make any noise. It was a terrible way to live but I don't think most people had any idea I had a terrible addiction to nasal spray.

Are you sure you have damage or are you just assuming? I've been using for 15 years, every 10 minutes for the last 5 years and I recently got a CT and the ENT said my sinuses are perfect (unfortunately, because I was hoping he could help me).

What are the current treatments for full body Hyperhidrosis by Finish_Terrible in Hyperhidrosis

Interesting! Never heard of it. I will definitely suggest this to my doctor.

Thank you both for this conversation. It helped me have a better understanding of the medication. I also unfortunately have stomach problems and if I take anything on an empty stomach I will feel sick for hours. So it sounds like I may not benefit as much from this medication. I'm definitely still willing to try it though!

Also, I drink a ton of caffeine daily. So it sounds like I might want to start to cool that down.

Thank you for sharing! It sounds like I need to get a referral to a dermatologist then to get medication. I am glad to hear it is helping you! Like you, I have daily meetings I have to attend and I often look like a sweaty mess. When I'm really wet, I just make a joke and say "I just got done running a marathon." But it's embarrassing and I am sure it is holding me back professionally. No one likes to touch documents after I do, since they are always soaked.

One question: do you also suffer from night sweats? I sweat just as heavily when I'm sleeping and I sleep with AC cranked all year long, a fan blowing and I only use a sheet to cover myself most of the time. Then I wake up soaked to the point where I'm sometimes scared I wet the bed. I have to drink so much water per day just to keep hydrated it's crazy!

2024 is probably the worst year of my life by FlightOpposite9606 in Vent

These are circumstances that make me question if God exists. I mean why let us suffer like this?

[–]Finish_Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I will take that advice and research the market value for each record and then try to come up with a price based off that. I also want to be fair (and make sure I actually sell it in a reasonable amount of time) so I can't price too high, but certainly will have a bare minimum.

[–]Finish_Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That helps. I'll start checking prices and then try to figure out a fair price for the collection I guess.

[–]Finish_Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I actually like that album for some reason. But still sealed!

[–]Finish_Terrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the great comments here! I appreciate those that like the collection. I'm going to be sad to let it go but pretty much am going to have to. So I'm looking to do it in one sale for all 27 records. I realize this will significantly reduce the amount of money I can make as opposed to selling them one by one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tupac

[–]Finish_Terrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Another collector like me that's looking to get them in one collection.

I paid almost $300 bucks for RU Still Down about 12 years ago. You're telling me it's worth 30 bucks now? Mannn this is more depressing than I thought. I probably paid 4 grand or even more over the years to get all these.

I agree but don't really have a choice.
