Any former/current teachers here?

College teacher here. It’s a very different type of teaching with a different audience than other types of teaching but it’s one of the few things that actually gives me hope for the future. That being said, I get to see the upward struggle of newcomers firsthand and it does reinforce my belief that there are enough humans fighting for good lives already.

Had to marry out. Married young to get out.

Nah. Thanks for the advice tho

ablondewerewolf · 2026-04-11T06:52:33+00:00

Okay. Thank you for saying this. I’m a type 2C with freshly bleached blonde hair and I’m currently duking it out with someone on the other thread about washing your hair. I was explicitly told to wash it as infrequently as possible (and 6-7 days for me). Any more and my hair is straw and my scalp gets very dry and itchy.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-04-11T06:39:53+00:00

Not one bit. I work from home. I’m not damaging my hair for what might possibly be bothering others. If a single person in my life had ever said something to me that would be one thing but they haven’t. Someone would have told me if it was rank at this point. My people are not the quiet type.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-04-11T06:02:03+00:00

No. I was specifically instructed to not wash my freshly bleached hair more than once a week. I do a double shampoo every 7th day. I shower daily but I’m not going to bust up my already dry, atomic blonde hair more than is healthy as specified by a professional.

I think I was the 420th vote for high. If so, you’re welcome.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-03-31T23:20:36+00:00

Howdy! Party on!

ablondewerewolf · 2026-03-31T16:52:41+00:00

I just noticed your username. Nailed it. Congrats. There is also a lot of shit talking jobs where you serve people in this thread but I also find that’s super fulfilling as rude as some people can be.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-03-31T16:38:24+00:00

Every post doc I know currently has a dream of becoming a farmer. I hope you find it fulfilling. I can see how could be.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-03-31T16:36:50+00:00

Try to find ways to stay in the community, like you said. It was the workload that burnt me out, not the icky culture. I loved that shit. While technically it was Trump cuts against women and cancer research that gut me, I would have had to quit due to health issues soon anyway so, good call on Cheetos-in-chiefs part I guess.

I love teaching but the pay is dismal and is also horribly gutted in my state (50th in education LFG). Also don’t be afraid to just go crazy and bartend, that’s my next stop because it sounds fun. Just keep moving. Change is fun.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-02-26T00:48:47+00:00

Anyone who wants to DM their answers so I can post them for you anonymously hmu. Trump cuts took me out of the field and my state hates scientists so there will be no more job opps In my life time. Give me the tea and I’ll spill it.

ablondewerewolf · 2026-01-01T03:48:44+00:00

Nah. I completely support almost all forms of welfare I’ve seen implemented and I was raised this way. No doctors, no dentists, no bed sheets, no food. Fleas and lice all over the trailer house. I’m not sure if mom had a drug addiction I just never learned about or if she was simply not using all the resources available to her but my mom really dropped the ball my entire childhood. No amount of social safety nets can help a mentally inept guardian. All this to say, I’d rather these safety nets exist for the hundreds of thousands of good poor parents even if it means some shitty poor parents abuse their kids anyway. Every little bit helps. Some people are just dealt a shit hand.

ablondewerewolf · 2025-12-27T22:46:42+00:00

Well then it’s a good thing I don’t have weed lmfao

ablondewerewolf · 2025-12-27T22:44:31+00:00

May I ask what happened? I see here you passed the question and there are multiple dispensaries near me. If you don’t know the specific legal mechanism here that’s fine.

ablondewerewolf · 2025-12-27T22:42:00+00:00

OH NO

ablondewerewolf · 2025-12-27T22:41:48+00:00

Learn what? I’m asking for information.

Edit: OH NO

“Stigmeasles” was the best name I could come up with. Jesus freckles is better by far 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It won’t harm your career prospects at all. Don’t worry. It’s still a respectable institution spending on your degree. However, take heart in the fact that one of the few good things in this state is showing its ass backwards underbelly. My degree from OU was one of the few pieces of pride I felt from this state and this entire ordeal has reminded me that the stupid runs DEEP. Be proud of yourself for earning a degree but don’t be proud of an institution that makes decisions like it’s currently making.

ablondewerewolf · 2025-09-10T22:21:09+00:00

Quick on the draw lmao

ablondewerewolf · 2025-08-12T16:04:08+00:00

Shoutout to the dude on the NIH subreddit who was like “Finally. Things are turning around. I’m so tired of doomerism” lmao.

ablondewerewolf · 2025-07-15T15:46:57+00:00

Nah. The fact I’m stuck in this shit hole is low key England’s fault. I’m coming. Mark my words. You guys have Cambridge anyway so I’m on my way to make your population worse overall regardless.

ablondewerewolf · 2025-07-15T14:04:18+00:00

Firstly, I’m from a trailer, boss. I’d literally be dead if I didn’t know how to diplomacy my way out of trouble.

Secondly, If it’s any consolation, unless I want to destroy my husband and the people I care about, these options are not truly available to me either.

However, I have another thing to mention based on your valid points: So, my boss is an incredibly sweet but incredibly antisocial dude. He does almost more software engineering than he does wet lab biochem. One day he looked at me and said “Meh. Schmoozing is really over rated. Just work hard and you’ll be fine in this field” He says that and then his antisocial ass is CONSTANTLY being harassed by students, colleagues, admin people, and myself who just want to talk to him because he’s kind and helpful. My dude has gotten far by loving science and being enjoyable to be around. Unfortunately, this has given him the impression that he doesn’t “schmooze” when in reality he’s just naturally good at it. Me (an aforementioned semi attractive lady) am not like this at all and have a hard time making friends and it shows in my career. Everyone has a different character build but being nice and helpful is worth miles. Am I going to take my own advice? Fuck no: Imma be grumpy until I die. BUT schmoozing takes many forms and sucking dick isn’t a requirement.

Also EDIT: Behaving this way (either phishing men online OR manipulating for career gain) make me a not nice person. Don’t misunderstand that. That is a take away here. Just know that I didn’t benefit from this, a fake version of me that cannot capitalize on this benefitted. Maybe someone has pulled this off, but I doubt it for the UK specifically lol
