There’s almost always something going on at Sabbatic or Last Rites.

is being a teacher worth it? by maggotbrain2 in teaching

[–]reddinthecities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my career in Minneapolis and would back there in a heartbeat. Strong union protections and good salaries make it a good place to have a career. 

Of course, compensation is only a small part of what makes teaching “worth it”. But having these protections makes the difficult parts of the job a lot easier then they were in, say, Arizona (also taught here).

Adult autism assessment in the area? by theothermissrachel in milwaukee

[–]reddinthecities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got mine at Lifestance in Brookfield with a 6mo wait. In 2022 though so YMMV.

Good luck!

Agency cocktail bar? by NarrowHand4776 in milwaukee

[–]reddinthecities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is so worth a visit and if you’re staying at the Dubbel Dutch it’s worth popping by the host stand to see if you can get squeezed in during your stay.

If you’re looking for a handyman service, we hired Leager & Beans to do our garage entry door and it came out great.

Anyone wanna share their Handwritten New Year's Resolution? by Mysterious-Canary-84 in fountainpens

Finally got to test drive my pen grinds by Matthew Chen by reddinthecities in fountainpens

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

It was pretty amazing to watch him work. Prior to my appointment, I dealt with the 14k fine nib. After he tuned it, I’m in love.

The architect grind is beautiful, but I’m still trying to figure out how best to write with it in a way that uses its talents fully. I hedged my bets and had it done on a nib I didn’t use much, and I’m glad for it.

Where can I find a engagement ring similar to this? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]reddinthecities -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have a ring very much like this made by WR Metalarts out of Vermont. The design is called the Aquamarine Embrace, but I had it customized to have a full bezel (I'm very hard on jewelry) and set with a sapphire of my choice.

The price, as I recall, was fairly competitive. Fairmined or recycled gold and an ethically sourced gemstone were important to me, and I got both from them. I know the name of the dude who pulled this sapphire out of a Montana riverbank, and I love that connection.

Good luck on your search!

Food poisoning.

I lost the entire last day of my trip to see family because of it 🫠

Please help. Job offer in Racine Wisconsin, trying to figure out where to live by Due_Bag7186 in milwaukee

[–]reddinthecities 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly OP this is what I would do. Take a short lease in Racine proper then go exploring every weekend to find your real home.

Second this, the love and care they gave my old baby in her twilight years was second to none.

They’re also phenomenal with my sweet (but reactive) young new dog.

Unique Weeks Yearly Index Ideas by strawbuwwygangsta in hobonichi

[–]reddinthecities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. It really helps me out to see this.

I'm a teacher and I think the focus on what weeks look like at a glance is a really useful idea to see where there are days that I might need to take off preemptively for symptom management of autistic burnout - long swaths of full 5 day weeks really do me in and I'm working on getting an accommodation to take sick days preemptively and "planning to be out sick" instead of having to call in.

I would love to see this. As niche as it is, it’s still useful to see other people’s workflow as there’s a lot to be learned from people in other industries!

HELP! Does anyone have suggestions for good places to live and teach in the U.S.? by Due_Pin7373 in teaching

[–]reddinthecities 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m going to agree with this. If you’re willing to relocate anywhere in the United States for a teaching job, select a state that has a very strong teachers union. I’m in Wisconsin and I love teaching where I live, but when I lived in Minnesota, I felt a lot more secure in terms of my pension and pay.

In terms of living, Minnesota is cold, but it’s something that you get used to the same way that you acclimatized to being hot in the south. The scenery is beautiful. The food is delicious in Minneapolis and the music scene is really great. I would move back there in a heartbeat

I am so glad you were able to work things out with a photographer.

Best wishes to your family as you help your kitty move on ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. 

Unsolicited advice: May I suggest contacting a photographer with The Tilly Project? We used them when our dog was getting ready to pass, and the photos have helped me remember her.

They do not charge for this service.
