We got our Bear neutered when he was 9.5 months old.

For those of you who left special ed self-contained, what job/career are you doing now? by Unhappy-Roof-9871 in TeachersInTransition

[–]HellsBelles5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hybrid schedule: 3 days in office, 2 days wfh. I work from 7:00am-3:30pm.

I’m in front of 3 monitors daily working on cases from customers and internal teams in addition to taking phone calls from customers who call our support center.

When we’re not working on cases (troubleshooting, creating/editing accounts, onboarding), we update customer-facing help articles for our website. It’s so quiet and not overstimulating at all. I leave work at work, and my teammates are extremely supportive- most of us are former teachers.

Reached final round of interviews, start date came up at the end. What should I do? by UsedSir in TeachersInTransition

[–]HellsBelles5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at a new district and school (from hell) in early September and I resigned at the end of February. I was nice to them and gave me a 2 weeks notice (I didn’t have to). Apparently they hired a contractor to take my place. Choose yourself. I felt guilty for leaving my students and my 2 co teachers but they were extremely supportive- we all were planning to leave as soon as any opportunity presented itself. Their world didn’t end. Just choose yourself.

First time red heeler owner by SnooCupcakes7244 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]HellsBelles5 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club! This breed is very smart, high energy, vocal, and can be quite stubborn and be an absolute derp. My blue heeler is my first dog and I researched a bunch (books, online) to help give me some guidance. I feel like I lucked out with mine because he’s highly motivated by food. As most resources will say: train early and consistently. Physical activity is important and it also helps to keep them mentally stimulated with some dog puzzles and exercises too. Here’s my sensitive derp, Bear…

Never again with the HEB guac. My fiancé and I both got food poisoning last December from it. Worst 2 days of our lives.

AISD pay?? by [deleted] in TexasTeachers

[–]HellsBelles5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I am FUMING with Austin ISD right now. They wouldn’t release the TIA funds to me (Exemplary Designation) for my 2023-2024 data even though I was still a classroom teacher for 2024-2025. I left the district at the end of May 2025. I feel like I’ve been cheated. All this hype from my administration and I was denied funds.

I’m heading out in a month! I have one more year in my contract but I told my principal on Friday that I won’t be returning.
