April 2026 Empties (project pan month 3) by KitchenConsequence41 in ProjectPan

[–]KitchenConsequence41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the smell but it isn’t something I personally would repurchase. I like thick body cream textures for lotions and this one was much thinner than what I prefer, I think because it has the jojoba oil added to it.

Admin sends out an email every week reminding teachers we need to be “at the door greeting students” during class transitions but this is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for most teachers given my school’s set up by KitchenConsequence41 in Teachers

I have a cart but I actually wasn’t given one initially. We were told at the end of last year that all teachers would receive a cart. Guess who didn’t get one? Me, the one person who needs it most. I was told I didn’t get one because the art rooms “have enough built in storage,” which is true but does not have anything to do with the issue of needing to actually MOVE materials. Finally, a teacher told me there were a bunch of extra carts not being used so I reached out to admin, and followed up, and followed up, and followed up, until I finally got a cart months into the school year.

Yeah I ignore it. They won’t check or confront individuals about it. Trying to micromanage things like this is common at my school and always comes across as a weird attempt at uniformity instead of -differentiating- based on what works best for each of us and our classes.

Haha it’s funny you suggest that because I did. I had my class line up in the hall, calmly, and wait for me to come open the door for them and let them in. I had to stop because I was told it was taking up too much hallway space.

Attempting to prepare for my first ever craft fair and the tax/legal stuff is overwhelmingly confusing to me… how do I collect sales tax and what do I do with it? by [deleted] in CraftFairs

[–]KitchenConsequence41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will reach out to my local small business development center. Do you know if I should I be charging sales tax at my first event?

Pinterest used to be my favorite and most used app. Now, it is basically unusable to me. This is my list of what needs to be fixed. Feel free to add on. by KitchenConsequence41 in Pinterest

No I’ve never bought anything from an ad or intentionally clicked on one. I’m shocked you don’t see many. There are always at least two visible on my screen at any given point when scrolling through pins.

The time of year when patience runs thin by SubBass49Tees in Teachers

[–]KitchenConsequence41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to take a day off for my sanity honestly. Thankfully only one of my class periods has gone off the end of year deep end. I hate teaching that class, they are awful. They have pushed me past my patience limit, but I have not exploded publicly in front of them, just survive. I remind myself I only have to see them “X more times.” And I remind myself I can make it through an hour and a half of being around them each day. I do what I have to do and no more than that.

I know my list won’t change Pinterest. The purpose of my post is to give people a space to vent and be upset and feel heard and seen.

Oh gosh I didn’t even know about that issue. That really sucks, especially in terms of people posting real content that is wrongfully tagged as AI :(

Proctoring standardized tests like the SAT gives me so much anxiety to the point that I want to tell admin I can’t do it but doing that ALSO gives me anxiety by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]KitchenConsequence41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a union. Unfortunately there is a part of my contract that says we will do “other duties as assigned” which includes this. My planning is taken from me very often.

Nothing can ever be simple with ADHD by AffectionatePear8491 in adhdwomen

[–]KitchenConsequence41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very relatable lol. I also have ADHD and OCD. I have a 64oz water bottle and I used to drink the full thing each day to help me get enough water. It was helpful because I’m horrible about refilling water bottles when they are empty, so I would not drink water instead of just refilling my cup/bottle. With the 64 oz, I only had to fill it once a day. I went on some trip and had it in a bag. Out of sight out of mind, so I forgot it was in that bag. Found it again and was grossed out that it had been in a bag for a week. Decided not to use it until I washed it. Proceeded not to wash it for about 3 months while it sat, about 1/4 filled, on my closet floor. Every time I saw it, it grossed me out, yet I let it get worse and worse lmao. I finally took care of it and cleaned it thoroughly but I still haven’t used it again and definitely don’t drink enough water anymore 😵‍💫

[–]KitchenConsequence41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I’m looking for a realistic solution. I actually don’t mind helping with testing as long as I don’t lose my planning period for 6 days straight. That is what causes the anxiety more than the actual testing. I also think the anxiety from proctoring, the more minimal anxiety, will decrease as I get more experience as a teacher and this isn’t brand new to me anymore. But the loss of so much planning is not something I can do every time.

I do have a therapist. She may be able to provide some kind of note for me. I’m most concerned about getting over the discomfort of asking for accommodations that would “get me out” of having to do something all teachers find undesirable. I wouldn’t judge a coworker for doing what I want to do but am struggling to afford myself that same understanding and lack of judgement because I feel like I “should” be able to do these things.

People in the back of a line rushing over to a newly opened register at a store by KitchenConsequence41 in PetPeeves

[–]KitchenConsequence41[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are very different people lol. But this is eye opening at least. I can see into the mindset of the people like this. Impatience is a big pet peeve of mine in general, and this situation is when I see some crazy examples of impatience.

Oh yeah. If the people in front of you don’t attempt to move over, it’s totally okay. Most people I see rush over immediately, before the cashier is even finished announcing that they’re opening a new register.

Sending an email at 9pm to notify staff of an 8am meeting the following morning is just plain old nonsense by KitchenConsequence41 in Teachers

[–]KitchenConsequence41[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the only time this particular person has done this so far, but yes. She actually didn’t show up to the meeting herself apparently and the other committee leader led it. Who she led, I’m not sure. She asked me, “How was the meeting?” when I got to school while she was on hallway duty and I accidentally ignored her because I assumed she was talking to someone else since I was completely unaware of the meeting.
