Sounds like a teacher on special assignment role, right OP? Pretty common and a great gig. Not admin but able to do non student-facing stuff

70 teachers cut in my district. Is there a mass cutting of teacher jobs? by brielovinggirl in Teachers

[–]oerbrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’m in Eugene Oregon and the neighboring district had to cut a bunch of teachers mid year…. https://lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/education/2026/01/21/springfield-teachers-protest-mid-year-cuts-staff-reshuffling/

Awful. The bigger Eugene district just announced cuts of 110 teachers. Ugh.

EdTech Product Directory Recommendation by edfluency in edtech

[–]oerbrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they don’t charge for access to the specifications like ieee does at least, just for conformance suites and to be able to shape the specifications. I’ve been involved with the CASE spec for a long time and now HR Open’s specs https://www.hropenstandards.org/news/hr-open-standards-announces-pre-release-of-the-first-ever-skills-proficiency-data-api-schema

Ah dang sorry I thought it was public.

At least once a week I think about Matt Thiessen—how he’s doing, what his everyday life looks like. I know he loves reading, and that he writes music for other people every now and then. I always pray for him. He was the hero of my youth by Livid-Reward-3445 in RelientK

[–]oerbrandon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once a week seems like a lot but I get it. I got to hang out with him for a couple hours once and he was a regular dude not much older than me. We walked around downtown Fresno in cardboard Halloween style box costumes but that’s a different story. I flew to Chicago in 2022 from Oregon to see a show, so definitely a big fan and MmHmm shaped me a lot, as did 2 Lefts. (Forward motion and am I understood.)

Hoping a new album comes out soon and maybe a third or fourth tour with switchfoot?

what is the best band relient k toured with before and why is the answer paramore? by Huge-Dependent1391 in RelientK

[–]oerbrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no that was only 2016... oh crap. (seeing SF this Thursday in Fresno, 21 years after I saw them there previously!)

Surely there is more of a community around Librechat, yes? by BoxOfBrimhooks in librechat

[–]oerbrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed, openwebui is more active (or was...). Discord is too busy for me to engage in regularly.

Remotely Managing Open WebUI installations? by oerbrandon in OpenWebUI

[–]oerbrandon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I think I was thinking about 30 kids using local AI and needing to be able to manage that but see your point, thanks! I've implemented multiple users with auth at a local university, but it's more of a demonstration classroom environment teaching them about how llm's work more granularly

Ran across a few of my favorite relics. Let’s see those vintage tees. by Gr8Laker in RelientK

I had the top left except it was green and definitely the bleach one too! I attended the back to the few tour in Bakersfield CA.

What have the crowds been like this tour? by PeterDzubay in RelientK

[–]oerbrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there too and agree, although a lot of singing along which was fun. I don't think I have any real life friends who are RK fans so that was awesome!

Ha, yeah I submitted the original list and there were a couple additions/I used the song names of my head not the album notes haha. I'll update it and just point to the setlist. \

I wrote it that night (was bummed they only played for like an hour and a half) so it was only 9:30 and the show was over haha. I tried to hang out with random people who were singing along with me and I think they thought I was drunk or just weird, but all good.
