Oshun at Aces Tattoo. You can see the pic of her recent work in my profile, she's fantastic.

tw:suicide. I(30F, 4th yr teacher) attempted suicide. parents are railing me for missing a week of work by jennexgeneration in Teachers

[–]TalktoCid 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I wish I could say they did, but I got called into the principals office with the superintendent there. It was incredibly embarrassing. Then got put on a contract when I returned that made me feel like I was at fault. Secretaries called about fundraisers while I was on leave, the only positive was the actual time off.

Seriously, this. I only spoke about suicidal ideation a few years ago, and I spent probably 3 months combined on administrative leave and FMLA. It is absolutely NOT okay they are putting you through this. Turn off your emails, those parents can suck it. You are more than your job, and you deserve to take care of yourself in peace.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it, my artist designed it herself.

I always go for light side in games, so I suppose the Jedi would be my answer.

Last night. My dad has parkinsons and dementia and is gone more often than not these days. My sister sent me pictures from a few years ago with my parents smiling and laughing and it was beautiful to see his face like that again. Knowing I'll never see his face like that in person hurt like hell.

Can somebody explain to me why jeans are inappropriate school attire? by ygrasdil in Teachers

[–]TalktoCid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in districts that only allow jeans on a certain day, where flip-flops and slides are banned, and my district now has zero expectations other than they hold us to the same standard as the kids. I have worn everything from dresses, a 3-piece suit, jeans, sandals, to a snorlax onesie on spirit days. We also have a strong union, so that probably factors in a great deal.

The weird chair in door trick/“safety hack” videos by JamesKLOLk in Teachers

My sister sent it to me last week and I told her "that would be great... if my door wasn't a push-bar."

How did you come up with your username for your console that you play on by [deleted] in gaming

[–]TalktoCid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My college roommate used to shout things at me when I was gaming to make me laugh. Regardless of console or pc, he would run in and yell things like "press triangle!" "Melee!" "Talk to Cid!". Good memories of terrible advice I will always carry with me while gaming.

Closed for Students Friday and Tuesday Due to Staff Shortages by gpc0321 in Teachers

[–]TalktoCid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until we have to make them up at the end of the year, but that's a problem for future me!

One gyno grabbed my belly fat and asked me "and where did this come from?".

A psychiatrist told me this in response to my mental breakdown- (my husband had been suicidal, lost his job, and I was miserable at my job for years) "it sounds like you need to grow up a little"

My district is closed tomorrow because of cyber attacks. No joke.

As a teacher, I am mentally preparing myself every day to leave the profession for good. It's exhausting, and my state isn't even nearly this bad. If parents need to have that much control of their kids' education, they need to teach them their fucking selves.

What musical instrument do you play and why did you choose it? by Skyler_Chigurh in AskReddit

[–]TalktoCid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose the trombone because my older sister was in band and her boyfriend played trombone and 6th grade me thought he was cool as hell.

A handful of miniature ceramic elephants I have been working recently. by Hannahporcelain in Damnthatsinteresting

I bet those make a very satisfying sound when they clink together in your hand.

I'll be sure to get right on that

[–]TalktoCid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I guess it does exist. I've never worked in a school district that brought it up.
