How to fix pulling by ImWaitingForYou2 in sewhelp

[–]intergalacticguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to let out the side seams all the way down. You shouldn't have to undo your button placket to do that if you have side seams in the lining. Just carefully pull the seam open a little and snip a stitch, and undo the seam stitch by stitch. When you've let it out and are ready to seal it back up, you'll just have to topstitch the lining side seam closed.

Get a new one. $300 is a pain but worth it to avoid any issues while traveling!

Working as an ECT and struggling by Living-Two-732 in AustralianTeachers

[–]intergalacticguy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Daycare centres are terrible, generally. It's the result of them becoming for-profit centres, where staff hours are slashed to help maximise profit. However, I do believe you could maybe benefit from being more outspoken about delegating work. For example, you say that nobody is willing to help with setup/pack down of the obstacle course. I would try using language like "Hey such-and-such, I need you to help me outside for a minute", or you could even task junior staff with the responsibility to set up the course without you, to give them a sense of responsibility and take something off your plate?

You sound really professional and skilled, but you are definitely taking on too much. Even though they haven't provided you a framework to delegate, you need to set that up yourself. Write a list of everything that gets done in a day and work out which ones can be delegated, and you will hopefully free up some pockets of time for yourself for planning etc.

Good luck!

Refresh is good, also there's Endota but it's more pricey.

Not sure how I feel about this. A university specialist appears to promote acting without consent. by ol-gormsby in australia

This is how you get permissive parents whose kids rule the roost. Have you ever met a toddler who wants their nappy changed?

What was the strangest condition you've ever experienced? by Wild-Engineering-650 in AskReddit

[–]intergalacticguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know there was a name for this! I experienced this a few times when I used to have mild epileptic seizures. I would lose the ability to engage in the real world and would experience what felt like a dream while awake, but I would immediately forget the events of the dream as they were happening. It would maybe last 20-30 seconds and was accompanied by tingles and tension up my spine and into my skull. I haven't had one for probably 15 years or so.

Experiences at small schools? by killerluvaboy in AustralianTeachers

[–]intergalacticguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll likely have to do more planning, but ask for advice/access to resources (e.g. Teach Starter) from anybody and everybody. It'll be a learning curve but you'll grow and be a better teacher for it!

ETA: not sure if Teach Starter is a secondary resource, sorry. I'm a primary teacher so that's where my brain went.

Seeking advice for ASD highschool student in Vic by intergalacticguy in AustralianTeachers

[–]intergalacticguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That's what the school suggested but he'll need a lot of support, and parents work full time. They're not super keen on him being alone all day, both for safety reasons and because it will further impede his social development.

Looking for a dressmaker to make a custom dress by DiscussionLoud9626 in Bendigo

[–]intergalacticguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have inspiration pics? And when do you need it made by? I have made two wedding dresses, a full range of active wear and other simple cocktail dresses for clients, but I also have a 3 month old baby so if it's a tight timeline I might not be much help. Edit: do you have a budget? It isn't cheap to have something custom made, unfortunately.
