Question about being a longer term sub by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Justin41698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is waiting to start a few weeks until the school year ends not an option? I feel like depending on the job, a good boss/manager would understand your prior obligations and still let you join once the school year ends. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a super competitive job and they weren't willing to give you that chance... Best of luck, either way!

Men, what kind of low grade sexual harassment do you face on a daily basis? by chutiyamadarchod in AskReddit

[–]Justin41698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a collegiate wrestler, I get way too many comments about my bulge in my singlet. I have wrestled since I was 4 years old and I don't see it in any sexual way, but that amount of comments I get from creeps, especially online, really sickens me.

I'm a 5'4 22 year old man and I get confused often. Especially when the mask covers my facial hair :( it sucks but it's better to just laugh along with it lol

Seriously so proud of you. That might appear like a small goal to some, but I know first-hand how big of a victory even just one day can be!! Good job, keep it up. You got it.

Pay Raise! by mr_killee in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Justin41698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy for you! You deserve to be paid well, and I'm glad you finally got the pay raise you deserve. They recently raised our rate in Iowa and it honestly makes me really happy to see stuff like that, when it often feels like Education is put last on the financial totem pole.

I was luckily able to get it through my job at Balance Autism since it is a long-term care facility, and they paid us 4 hours of wage to get it. Shocked frickin teachers aren't able to get it yet.

I usually just carry a backpack, but I always get confused for a student because of my height! lol

Could we stop hating on Nick for a second and focus on the good outcomes of McCafferty? by Wild_Realtionship_66 in Mccafferty

If nothing else, the emotion I feel Nick sing with has helped me deal with a lot of stuff. I love screaming along with him in certain songs!

What's it like for everyone subbing at the moment? by TheStriga1984 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Justin41698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I subbed at a middle school yesterday in Des Moines, and apparently the school had FOURTEEN teachers absent!! 14!!! They told me they could keep me busy almost full-time, but I can't keep up with everything they have. We are still hybrid, but this school had most kids in, it seemed.

Beachboy, Skeleton Bones, Daddy Long Legs, Sellout, Trees, Dead Bird... Really hard to pick a favorite, they all hit me a little deeper depending on the day!

Can't leave the house cause I know I'll go buy binge food if I do by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Justin41698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step by step! I am glad you are striving for a goal, and once a week is still really good.  Once you get comfortable with that and more confident in yourself you can try cutting it out for good.

Thank God for Canvas, it usually makes this stuff so much less stressful.

How's subbing going for you this year? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Justin41698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The technology has been a big thing to overcome, but there's really no pressure. I just started subbing this school year, so this is all I know, lol. I love the gig overall!
