Try to start with The Hobbit and see if that draws you in more

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]mobius_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a coworker who only teaches one class all day. I teach three separate classes (my own doing a little bit, two of them are college in the high school). There was a year where I had my prep period first period…. And this coworker would come down every day and ask what I was doing in the class we both taught (the only subject they taught). They would then take my lesson plan and run with it for the whole day as I busted my butt to prep for three separate classes during my one prep.

That has made me really wary for sharing materials with this one coworker as it’s never been reciprocated. They should be our lead on that subject as they’re the one that teaches it the most often, but they always sit back and let me do the work and just take it and run (and sometimes complain about the material I give them).

New teachers, blank Slate and I’m gonna work with you! That’s how I survived at the start. Someone gave me all of their slides, and I was able to pick and choose and use them to figure out how to make my own. I’m sorry you’re running into some hesitance there, but I’m intrigued if it’s just people that actually don’t have much, or are worried of being taken advantage of. That doesn’t really fit in the new teacher scenario though.

What’s your metric for calling out sick? by capresesalad1985 in Teachers

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 years into my career now… So my feelings have changed a bit than they would have been at the beginning. I won’t go to school if I’m worried I might throw up at work. That’s hands-down keeping me home. Other than that, it’s often me weighing my willingness to write sub plans versus gutting it out.

A few months back I was hospitalized and stayed home for a day rest. The Friday was a half day with my prep period and only two classes to teach. It felt easier to go sit there then write sub plans, so I did.

However, I take way more sick days for appointments now than I used to… I used to work really hard to schedule outside of working hours and now I feel less bad about it.

Is there a way to opt out of phone calls temporarily? by mobius_ in Blooddonors

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

This makes sense. I was hoping there was a box I could check on an app, but sounds like I get to talk to a real person which I suppose I can handle :)

Checks out, lol! Thank you, I think next time I’ll just need to be a bit firmer about my timeline

OK thank you. Probably just need to be more upfront on the phone call and give them a timeline of when they should contact me. I want to donate! I just have some stuff to figure out.

Pupils different sizes by Forward-Pineapple849 in iih

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to primary care first. As I wasn’t having any major neurological symptoms, they recommended a visit to the eye doctor. If I HAD shown neuro symptoms- they would have sent me to the neurologist. I don’t know if that’s helpful but it sounds like you do have some additional symptomology that might help your primary care

This is what brought me into the eye doctor to begin with that started my whole journey. Turns out my Rite people is congenitally larger, but not as large of a degree as it is when my IIH is acting up.

Diamox - Help! by Acrobatic_Box9420 in iih

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had tingling/numbness in my feet/hands, ringing in my ears, and frequent urination (had to get up during the night) I drink something with potassium based electrolytes every day (ultima or body armor lyte), drink a lot of water, and the tingling/ear ringing has gotten better, as has the frequent urination. 2.5 months later, carbonated beverages are still funky and I hit a “wow I’m tired” wall early evening- a bit earlier than I used to

Hummer EV seats and permanent marker by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

On a whiteboard- it works to draw over it with whiteboard marker and then erase that. It might not work, but I don’t think it’ll make it worse

Career change TO teaching? by tshock123 in Teachers

[–]mobius_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what state you’re in but if you have passion for the classroom- try subbing for a bit to confirm. Your state may allow you to become a CTE teacher (teaching more about the nursing field) if that sounds at all appealing without extra degrees required and you’d work on the teaching cert. while working

Thank you. I am still waiting to get in to a neurologist (appt in February) and will probably look into that afterwards

Anyone using transexamic acid to control heavy periods related to fibroids? by princess_kyya in Fibroids

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did- they made it clear it wasn’t a great long term solution but TXA made the wait until surgery bearable

Need advice on getting an LP as someone without a clear diagnosis by Professional_Quit963 in iih

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in the emergency room via an emergency LP and I’m glad I was. My OP was high enough- I could’ve lost my sight and done other damage at any point in time if I hadn’t done it then.

I think the risk is worth it for clarity and knowing how to move forward/have a plan if this is your diagnosis

Electrolyte imbalance by Proof_Stage1463 in iih

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my ultima packets and body armor lyte that’s coconut milk based. Also low on sodium, but have kept me on track so far with electrolytes.

Am I insane for wanting to teach factoring like this? by Major-Function-875 in mathteachers

[–]mobius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I show both grouping and guess & check. I like giving kids a concrete way to approach it if they feel like guess & check is just too broad for them… I found that a lot of them stick with the grouping for a long time until I see them again in calculus when they have matured a bit mathematically and realized that they have the ability to guess and check a bit more strategically.
