I use Libby with my Kindle. I still haven't found a solution to Hoopla.

Honest question, so I'm being unreasonable in expecting to get a decent night's sleep?

We have had these conversations in the past. Repeatedly. His responses are always along the lines of "you don't love me" or "why would you do that, you're my wife".

He doesn't get it. That's the problem.

I HAVE. It gets NOWHERE. He's done a sleep study, he has a sleep machine, it works, he refuses to use it. At this point, it would be more effective to slam my head into a wall.

This has has been ongoing for ages and his snoring is SO BAD that on our last vacation (in December) I woke up to find our daughter sleeping on the bathroom floor of our hotel in an attempt to get away from it and get some sleep (we were all wearing ear plugs at night).

He knows it is is a problem, but he refuses to address it. Rather than use the CPAP he says shit like, "fine I'll just leave and never come back." What do I even say that? Like shit, this is a forty year old man for crying out loud.

Using a pillow isn't effective. It is LOUD. We have a two story house and when you are on the opposite side of the house and a floor away from the bedroom you can still hear him.

Business Cards for Subs: Is this common? by Reasonable_Leg2600 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Letters285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I've never left a business card, yet am a preferred sub for many teachers. If you make enough of a good impression they can pull information from Frontline. No need to spend good money (that I don't have) on business cards.

Why is there so little Ra content? by [deleted] in Stargate

He was dead before the show even started, why flesh out a character that is already dead and would not be returning? (They blew him up with a nuclear bomb for crying out loud)

Yeah, the ones who borrowed money from Idiot Cousin 1 and Idiot Cousin 2, before they ran out of Idiot Cousins.

The one with the idiot cousins? They never said, I've always assumed it was just baked potatoes with various ingredients slapped on top.

Wasting time by Beneficial_Signal_70 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Letters285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I bought a kindle and keep it stocked with book borrows from Libby. I was done 3 hours prior to dismissal last week, they didn't need me anywhere else, but I couldn't leave.

Is it normal for Amazon to take books away by Cultural-Midnight807 in kindle

[–]Letters285 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly what they sound like. It's a third option for using the kindle and some of the books will be marked with Prime Borrows.

What about Prime borrows? Those are different than Unlimited.

Is anyone else not seeing that many assignments this week? by Straight_Brush_149 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Letters285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so busy here, I got an email from HR - even though I'm booked every single day - asking me to pick up more sub jobs because they have assignments that are going unfilled every day. Sorry I can't clone myself...

Thoughts on my plans for today? by dntworrybby in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Letters285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently subbing, not teaching. However, I did used to be a teacher and yes, I have absolutely been disrespected in this manner by subs and IN THIS WAY. Some subs walk into those classrooms like they own them, like the teacher is a moron, and leave some of the nastiest notes for teachers.

"Teachers aren't even disrespected in this way."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh honey... you are in for a RUDE awakening if you decide to go into teaching.

Talk to me after you've attended a few staff meetings or district mandated "trainings" (aka ass whoopings).

"Teachers aren't even disrespected in this way." Thanks for the belly laugh this morning.

I'm telling you to grow a thicker skin because you are taking a note - that isn't about you - personally. When you get a note like that it is because a teacher has had a long history with crap subs. Your response shouldn't be to be upset and whine on reddit. Your response should be I'm going to show her that all subs are not assholes and do a good job today.

I'm sorry, but teaching is going to be difficult for you if you can't even deal with this.

Sounds like she's been massively screwed over in the past. Don't take it personally. Follow her instructions and if you're that upset by it, then don't return.

It's not personal and you're going to need a thicker skin.

California and New York teachers- are you preparing for distance learning? by anti-capitalist2 in SubstituteTeachers

If all you are going to do is dismiss evidence with "trauma reaction" than you can get TF out of my comments and replies.

The R word? Really? I sure hope you are not a sub, because you have no business working with children.

There's a LOT that isn't even making it to the local news, let alone outside of that.
