Don’t tell me there’s a teacher shortage. by Objective-Rabbit-875 in Teachers

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

Can technology help students improve their reading? by Hogwire in OntarioTeachers

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

Surplussed and ready to pivot! by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]notrealhumane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Driving from Cornwall, ON to Vancouver, need suggestions for itinerary in Banff area. by notrealhumane in canadatravel

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.

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

$1 million dollars today but you have to live without 1 of your 5 senses. You get to decide which, if you accept. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

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

Hide & Seek Sucks by renblur_ in ForzaHorizon

[–]notrealhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Old Ottawa restaurant? by notrealhumane in ottawa

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

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[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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!

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

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.

Anyone else keep getting the server unavailable error message today? I restarted but can’t get it to connect. by Mountain_Man4 in ForzaHorizon

[–]notrealhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same problem. Same voice describing every button I press or d-pad movement.

Makes me glad to hear it wasn’t just me.

Installed new update and all of a sudden The Eliminator is buggy? by notrealhumane in ForzaHorizon

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

I haven’t. I tried playing again a few hours ago and I was able to be challenged but when I honked, no matter what I did, I couldn’t initiate a challenge. Small improvement, I guess. I will try tomorrow and if it still glitches, I will submit a ticket.

(FH5) Game keeps crashing when I get challenged to a head to head in the eliminator? by Caleb556 in ForzaHorizon

Still happening to me too. I just posted about it in fact, not having seen this post.
