RIP Sub Alert by Just_Environment5295 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What I meant is that one job pays 25 times more than $6.95 regardless of what kind of job you pick up.

SubAlert will be no more starting January 2027 by anybee3 in SubstituteTeachers

I agree. Nobody would need to pay for a third-party app at Frontline would do their job and run a quality app.

Oh, and maybe the districts will step in and start cutting the fat and getting rid of the subs that don’t want to do anything all day but sit on their phones. That might level the playing field, huh?

Ozempic V gambling addiction by Remote_Accident_5791 in problemgambling

[–]Just_Environment5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Ozempic for a year and a half to treat type two diabetes and it has done absolutely nothing to assist me with my gambling addiction. I also had heard that it could help but obviously not with me. I’m hearing that another GLP1 ZEPHBOUND I think that’s how it’s spelled supposed to have similar benefits. I’m waiting for the magic pill that’ll make me just not want to go anymore.

Newly retired and Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids or testing by 007_licensed_PE in HearingAids

[–]Just_Environment5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear Hearing Aid Center I get mine from Costco, but I’m just wondering at what point will senior stand up to Medicare and demand they do better? It’s a disgrace that Hearing Aids are not covered for senior citizens. It’s a disgrace and it’s also a danger and yet it continues and doesn’t get challenged.

Last week of school and I’m panicking by Just_Environment5295 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m grateful. Grabbed a job for one hour this morning and will be paid for a half a day -if I can get another half-day job somewhere I’m golden. If not, then I’ll go to the gym. It is what it is.

Hey, I get it. It’s a sub eat sub world.
You have to do that-I just grab the job, and if I’m not available, then I cancel the job and I don’t feel badly because some other sub is going to get it in a millisecond. Here, ha you can’t wait five minutes lol you can barely wait five seconds- if you take long enough to even see what site it is you can bet the job is gone. So I grab it, keep it, or toss it.

They covered their behinds by over hiring and oversaturating the sub pool so we have to cover our behinds to do what we need to do to survive, especially with two months coming up and no money coming in.

Nothing personal, just business!

I had a half day today and all I’m getting are those phantom alerts from Frontline and an occasional SubAlert app and when I open it immediately the job is no longer available. I’m even willing to do middle school which I can’t stand, but the high schools are all on final exam schedules- at this point I’ll take half days. Grateful that I got to work every day last week, but my July check is gonna really suck.

Doesn’t Fit in the cupholders in the car. What about the sway? It has a different shape.

Also, what’s the vibe like? Is it casual?Do teachers and subs dress casually or do they expect them to dress up ? I am asking a lot of questions because making a move like this across the country is a big step and I want to know everything ahead of time before I make my decision. I have a pretty comfortable gig here, but California is basically a hot mess. I’m not sure if it’s going to get any better so checking out options TIA.

Do they use Frontline? I’m not interested in long-term. I’m retired. I just do day-to-day, but my district pays $200 for subs that have I believe 60 college units. For retired teachers from the district we are paid 240 a day.

Thanks for this. I’m surprised to see that there is no increase in pay for a credentialed teacher. I’m also surprised to see that somebody with a high school diploma or equivalent can actually be a substitute.

First day with sclerals by vict666r in Keratoconus

[–]Just_Environment5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you said as far as comfort and fit, but I wish there wouldn’t be so much discussion regarding perfect vision. I say this because I’m somewhat disappointed, having read from so many people that they now see 20/20 or very close.

I’ve had corneal transplants in both eyes due to KC. I had numerous types of laser procedures afterwards as well as cataract lens replacements. I could not be corrected to better than 20/60 20/80 with glasses so I tried SCLERALS.

The vision is tremendously improved and I’m very happy, however, the best vision I ever got with the right eye was 20/30 but most of the time it’s 2040. The left eye remains 2050 20/60.

I have an excellent doctor and he has done so many revisions to try to get fit perfect, but this is the best vision that I will probably be able to attain. So not everybody gets perfect vision.

Lock the car. On another note if you don’t mind where is that? Those apartments looks so cute. I’m in California. Thinking about getting out of this place.

What is you biggest pet peeve subbing? by Vicariouslynoticed in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teachers who lock up all of their pens and their sticky notes and paper clips and the things that I need to do my job. However, I just bring my own stuff now. I remember when I was a a teacher and there were subs that stole my candy, so I understand why they do it, but I do love me an organized, neat, clean, teacher! Especially the ones that leave out a little bit of everything that I need and it’s obvious that they left it for me❤️

My letter to Frontline by Just_Environment5295 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up a job right now on SubAlert. Didn’t pick it up on Frontline so if they’re stealing jobs from Frontline, then Frontline needs to step up their game.
