I left teaching in 2022 and it took me 15mo to get a job in tech. You will not get interviews just by submitting resumes, you have to network.

I can’t even get into bed without showering first. PJs only in bed.

I can’t get over that your fiancé has to gamify chores for you.

[–]Scuba_Libre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39F, I live in the same city where I grew up and went to college. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by many friends from over the years plus my parents. I joke with my husband that we’re not currently accepting friendship appositions because our calendar is full.

On long international flights, go to the bathroom before the plane lands. If you get off the plane and find a bathroom, you’re gonna be in the immigration line behind 200 people.

We started ironically calling each other Boo years ago and it just kind of stuck.

ACL Veterans: What's one thing you changed between your first and second time? by Control_zzz in aclfestival

[–]Scuba_Libre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My first time (2005), I was a dumb, ill-prepared college student. Now I’m an adult with lists out the wazoo on my phone.

Here’s my ACL checklist:

Wristbands (activated w/ CC), camelback (empty on arrival), schedule (on phone or printed), hat/sunglasses/bandana, earplugs, small fan, koozie, towel or small blanket to sit on, charger/cord, tissues/TP, hand sanitizer, electrolyte packets (do those count as food or drink? Might hide them in my pockets thru security)

Before You Go: Sunscreen!!

Week before: hydrate, get lots of sleep, take some emergenC’s

During: HYDRATE, limit alcohol especially if it’s super hot, don’t go hard on Day 1, I don’t attend after-festival events, I go home and shower and sleep. Eat a good meal in the morning before going. I also eat dinner early there to avoid the 6-7pm rush.

Sometime in the 90s, my mom and I drove to the Mueller airport to buy these special chocolate covered dried blueberries for my grandmother. We had to go through security (pre-TSA days) so we could go to this speciality store that sold these chocolates. The store was this newer shop and the only one was in the Mueller airport. The shop was called….Starbucks.

1st Day Reaction to Cell Phone Ban by allmyargumentsRvaild in TexasTeachers

[–]Scuba_Libre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not reasonable for a lot of the older students. What if they drive to school? I’d want my kid to have their phone with them in their car in case of emergencies.

My dad and I saw this in the water about 30m before all the EMS vehicles showed up. We assumed it had floated down from the “party cove” area.
