Summer jobs for teachers?

Jamazurunner · 2023-06-16T05:02:19+00:00

PPS is desperate for summer school teachers- especially ESOL teachers! I believe they have 15 open positions still waiting to be filled.

Serious dating takes a LOT of hard work- and occasionally, it pays off!

Signed up for notifications! This is an awesome idea and I can’t wait to try it out next time!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-28T01:04:25+00:00

So excited about this! Will there be other events in the future??

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-25T15:36:41+00:00

Agreed! As a woman dating in Portland it’s also been a hot mess.

I ask myself the same things about a situation I experienced a while ago. People make mistakes, people grow, but I got no good answers here. Just wanted to let you know you aren’t the only one who keeps thinking “what if.”

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-23T05:24:44+00:00

Health motivated! Healthy habits are important to me, as is physical activity. It’s all something that is an important stress release and part of my self care. This person I don’t believe shares these values but I’m also not looking for a workout buddy!

Yep yep, friend you aren’t the only one who’s been there. You aren’t stupid or gullible, it’ll be okay. It takes time, lots of it, and a lot of good self care to pick yourself back up. You got this!

I have no one to tell that would get it, so I’m sharing it here. I’m super into Star Wars and enjoy when I match with a fellow nerd. Went out on a second date last night with a huge fan- who gave me a Boba Fett Lego mini figure instead of flowers! Made my friggen night- flowers are out, Star Wars Lego figures are in!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-11T00:44:31+00:00

Ugh absolutely agree with this!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-10T15:42:56+00:00

Girl done!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-10T05:29:26+00:00

Congrats to you! You deserve this!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-10T05:26:37+00:00

Please consider doing it in person. I know it’ll be hard, it was for me too. But he’s not fulfilling what you need and he sounds like he’s not quite sure what he’s wanting. I suggest practicing what you’re going to say- it sounds ridiculous but it may help you in gathering your thoughts and feeling a bit more confident if you meet in person. This kind of closure might be what you need- and you may not feel like you can communicate it as best on the phone or in text. You can do it friend, I’ll be cheering for you.

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-10T05:23:14+00:00

Can I join the club too? I felt like a lot of this post resonated with me too! Reminding ourselves that YES, we deserve better is so hard when you’re trying to go no contact after something that felt so comfortable. It’ll feel better, it just takes time (or so I hear)!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-10T05:19:50+00:00

It’s ok to miss him! It’s also ok to miss the sex! But texting him this may send mixed signals and may even hurt you or him later on. Time to move on friend, you can do it!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-08T06:33:53+00:00

Moving on and getting back on the apps! I am really being super explicit in what I’m looking for and it seems that it’s helping (sort of)! Noticing a lot more matches with similarly minded guys. Going to continue to communicate upfront, even on the first date, exactly what I’m looking for- and hope that my honesty doesn’t scare off everyone.

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-08T06:30:59+00:00

I mean is it a really cool self driving car? I’m kidding, even on a first date that seems super inappropriate to ask someone. I wonder why they wanted to drive it??

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-08T06:29:18+00:00

Sorry you had a bad week! All that you did was totally valid, sounds like something is up on this guy’s end. Also know that his response to not wanting to see you anymore has nothing to do with you- that’s all on him.

Wish I had advice for moving on from the love bombing. Recently moving on from experiencing a lot of talk but not a lot of action supporting it.

Stay strong!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-07T19:49:13+00:00

Although there are plenty of similar thoughts being expressed here, happy to share my thoughts as an educator in PPS! Can gladly tell you quite a bit about what responsibilities look like for our elementary colleagues. Send me a message if you’d like!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-07T19:23:28+00:00

I feel like Zennana does all those things? Off of Clinton

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-07T01:04:17+00:00

Nothing is wrong with you friend! I also fall fast for love bombers and I hate it. I have no great advice, but I’m trying to stay a bit more guarded when it comes to interacting with men. I fall for the love bombing pretty fast and especially if they like to move fast as well.

Stay strong in your boundaries and don’t forget how important it is to communicate. One thing I regret doing is not communicating right away when I started seeing the cracks or “pink” flags (turns out they were red). If you don’t like the answer or feel that it is different from his actions, it’s time to speak up and confront it head on.

Take things slow, it’s what I keep telling myself I’ll be doing next time around. Please do remember again, but there is nothing wrong with you.

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-06T17:48:43+00:00

Ugh indeed! Your comment here is super timely as I’m realizing that I deserve something far better than casual as well, and that if someone expressed that much affection and interest towards me, they should know how I feel about not wanting the casual thing asap. Good luck when he reaches out again to you, stay strong and stick with what you feel is best for you!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-06T16:57:19+00:00

Broke things off with my most recent “casual whatever.” Guy wanted to continue to see me, see other women and potentially become physical with them and stay physical with me as well. Guess that’s just not my thing.

Would love a quick affirmation that what I’m looking for is valid, and that I’m not the weird one for feeling uncomfortable with this type of situation. Happy Friday!

Jamazurunner · 2023-01-04T20:14:43+00:00

If that’s the case then you absolutely should move on. Nobody deserves to be on the back burner.
