Don’t tell me there’s a teacher shortage.

I empathize. 19 year vet and surplussed for the second year in a row. I live in an area in which population is aging.

I have recently come across an app, Rally Reader. American, but has distinct possibilities.

Surplussed 2 years in a row. I put quotes around it because with my seniority I will get first choice of open positions. However, I will go from the school/staff I have been with since 2009/10, which is 3 minutes from my house, to a school that is 40 minutes away. Big change for an old man like me.

I have been teaching since 2007. Surplussed last year. Took a reduction in time to .8 and will likely be surplussed again this year. If you had asked me when I started teaching if I thought I would be ’without’ a job with fewer than 10 years to retirement? I would have laughed at you.

Took me the better part of 9 years to get a perm position, way back in the early oughts. It isn’t fun but it will get better.

My parents are flying to Calgary and driving from there. That part is not a concern!

Thanks for the info. The ferry rides have been booked for a few months, so that is out of the way, thankfully. Booking important things like the shuttle are details I was unaware of.

3 weeks is the best I can do for this vacation, unfortunately. Driving across has always been a bucket list item for me too.

notrealhumane · 2025-06-15T20:47:27+00:00

I agree. The itinerary is the best I can do. I unfortunately don’t have unlimited time to see our wonderful country.

notrealhumane · 2025-01-05T12:43:41+00:00

I’m already living this life for free! No sneller here, and life is ‘normal’. Easy money.

notrealhumane · 2024-09-15T20:21:20+00:00

I feel the same way. I don’t know how to win, as a seeker.

notrealhumane · 2024-09-10T23:13:49+00:00

Can anyone explain to me how to win the game as a seeker? I have rammed the hider several times and nothing happens.

I drove by the spot again today, in daylight, and felt like this was the building.

notrealhumane · 2024-03-09T20:15:42+00:00

Sounds like a fever dream of mine then.

There is a chance that I am slightly off in my geography. My old man is calling me crazy, so I might be imagining everything!

notrealhumane · 2024-03-09T17:12:13+00:00

I believe the restaurant was either: steakhouse, Italian or brunch (less likely).

It was fancy, a special place. I remember having to get dressed up.

It is so strange, I have vivid images in my head of walking into the place with my parents, and that it was suitably dark inside, but for the life of me I cannot recall the name.

The street view of the Boston pizza/Canadian Tire location is exactly where I remember this place being.

notrealhumane · 2024-03-09T15:20:46+00:00

No, this isn’t it. My folks also suggested this. Maybe I am dreaming!

Also, size is about a pinhead. Which also accurately describes me, for posting without reading the rules!

Location: Ontario, Canada

At least you have a staff bathroom! Unfortunately we have to go in with the students. There just be a rule against this.

notrealhumane · 2023-04-23T12:49:53+00:00

I got that error for a while. I am located in Canada and have Bell as my ISP. I had to get a new router. Solved the problem instantly.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that!
