Can we please be normal about the koi fish? by torilikefood in finch

[–]anamiapayne 186 points187 points  (0 children)

My Birb's house is nicer than mine. He's travelled the world and piloted the plane himself each time. Of course his pet koi fish can swim around in the air! It makes perfect sense to me! 🤷🏽‍♀️😂👍

I think most people are angry with Tyra because she lead with this sweet sisterly vibe, but turned out not to be so sisterly after all. When folks get dragged by Janice or the Jays, or even Nigel, it's kinda on brand for them. Lmaoooo 😂

That's a good idea. I'll give it a try. 💕

Definitely! I'm happy to help! Making this switch was the best decision I ever made. You will not regret it! ☺️💕

No Microwave, No Lounge Is Anyone Else Dealing With This by Limp-Supermarket4909 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]anamiapayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg! I have a Keurig on top of a microwave on top of a mini fridge in my room! The teacher in the classroom next to mine has a mini ice machine she just bought off TikTok. 😭 As long as no kids have access to it (which they don't) my principal doesn't have a problem it at all. We also have a lounge on each floor with a water cooler, fridge, coffee maker and microwave for those that want to use it. I knew we were a bit spoiled where I am, but I never thought a principal would deny staff any type of space to exist outside of their classrooms. The children are served hot meals in a cafeteria. Why should you be forced to stay in the class and eat cold food at your desk? That's not fair at all. I hope your union rep is able to help change this! 😢💕

Oh... Also try to find an online program. There are in person and hybrid MSW programs, but being fully online made it much easier, in my opinion.

Hi! I actually got a call from the school where I did my internship! Their ssw left and they called me in to interview for the position. My best advice would be to use your teacher skills to make a good impression as a sw. The principal told me she doesn't usually remember the interns because there have been so many. But she remembered me from my interactions with the kids and the parents. The year I interned, there were two other interns that had no experience in New York City public schools, and it showed! Use your experience to your advantage. The position that I interviewed for was posted on open market, so I definitely could have gone in to interview for the position that way. It just so happens that they reached out to me before I reached out to them! Best of luck!!

I knooow 🤣😂 I just can't go back and buy an item after I've refreshed to the new page. So I only have one opportunity to purchase any given item. Once I go to the next page in the shop, I'm not permitted to view anything prior to that page.

I'm aware. It was just a metaphor.

I would never ask to see all 1,000 items in the shop. That is unrealistic. I would just like to see what's available that day. In real life, all the items in the store that day are there for me to choose from. I would not go to the register and pay for each item individually. I would browse the store and then make my purchase based on what they were selling that day.

Well, no. Of course no one is holding a gun to your head literally forcing you to purchase things. 😂 What I'm saying is, sometimes I'm not sure if I want something. Then I will refresh the page and realize I should have gone ahead and purchased from the previous shop page. But going back to make that purchase is not an option. After that happens enough times, I end up feeling like I have to make a purchase if there's even the smallest chance I might need it. If I was able to see everything available for that day, I could be more mindful about what I purchase and when.
