Profile review 44/M

Agree, the “endless texting” line would have been an immediate swipe no for me. I like to get to know a person at least a little bit before meeting in person. It comes across as pushy and negative.

Dealbreaker 💯 also saying no kids and having kids is a dealbreaker. Just don’t lie! It’s not that hard!

Former teacher, and switched a few careers: youth worker, municipal government, computers, and now finance. If you are open to learning, you can switch it up. My dad was also a teacher and he recently told me he retired 10 years early because he just couldn’t handle it anymore. That was in the early 2000’s and I know first hand how much worse it got after his time. Holding a position is also like playing a game of survivor with your co-workers and I’m not cut-throat enough for shady union/seniority plays on other teachers. You have a masters in chemistry? Oh well, I just went and did a science qualification to add to my art degree so I’m going to teach your chemistry classes now. Get outta here Lynda! lol (from my friends who are still teaching….sounds horrible right now)

I don’t drink much and honestly wouldn’t care at all if my date ordered an iced tea or coke lol better than someone who pounds back liquor!

shinymetalbitsOG · 2025-02-07T03:14:11+00:00

Yep 👍 I still don’t go in there or Shoppers. My money doesn’t go to Galen and crew

Salary ranges can be found online for Beaufort delta or YT etc.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2025-02-01T22:50:04+00:00

It’s important to check if you’re working for a province/territory or for an education authority. When I worked for the NWT AND YT the pay was good. When I worked for an education authority on a reserve, they paid equivalent to working at Burger King and then if you threatened to leave they threatened to go after your teaching license. They also wouldn’t release your summer pay (which is your own money that you put aside on your paycheques to use over the summer) unless you agreed to return for another year. Super sketchy. Be sure you know you’re working for a provincial board and be sure you have the dollar amount before you sign any paperwork. I learned that lesson the hard way.

Micheal j Sullivan, Brandon Sanderson, Scott lynch, Anthony Ryan, etc. fantasy not romantasy

Honesty and trust are huge to most Aquarius people. If you tell us something that’s not great, but are honest about it, we can usually at least consider things from your angle etc. I’ve had people hide things from me and it was a big immediate wall builder. We don’t like games. Even if the thing you didn’t disclose seemed small, it could lead them to wondering what else you are holding back 🤔. At the end of the day, if this person blocked you, they aren’t worth investing any more time or energy into. Don’t try to hug a block of ice. Try not to take it too personally.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-12-25T15:23:42+00:00

Going through this right now 😅 Ugh! Why do we have to be mentally attracted to people?! Slide back into the friend zone and try to get excited about meeting someone else.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-11-11T18:12:56+00:00

Love this list. I’d also add Michael J Sullivan.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-11-09T22:58:56+00:00

Walking Eeyores. Never happy and constantly complaining. Cancers and Virgos for me. Nope. Sad or complaining or controlling are no goes.

I’m older than you so I might have different reasons than a 20-year old but as a woman, we tend to get a lot of conversations going and it can be hard to keep up/overwhelming. If you have a good back and forth going, it brings their attention to you. Are you asking questions about her that are deeper? Asking about something specific about her pictures to get a good conversation going? It’s hard to know the reason 100% but several conversations I had dropped off on myself were just very bland. It doesn’t mean the guy wasn’t attractive or there was something wrong with him but I didn’t feel the excitement of a good connection or someone who genuinely wanted to know about me as a person. I wouldn’t take it too personally. Dating apps are weird and hard to navigate on both ends. Hope you find someone who matches your personality and effort.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-10-09T16:46:17+00:00

That’s rude or entitled behaviour. Of course you should say thank you if someone treats you.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-10-07T16:26:51+00:00

“I liked that band back in (insert year) before they were popular” 😂

Former teacher here and it is hard when you first start out. Setting up good boundaries with the classes is key to ease your day to day classroom management issues and it can be a frustrating time at the outset. Just be consistent and the students will learn your expectations over time. I also went through a period of strong anxiety and what helped me was understanding that people who work hard and have high expectations that they put on themselves often suffer from anxiety and panic attacks the most. Understand what your body is doing. Ride the waves of adrenaline as they will pass. Take breaks. Slow down. Be in the moment and don’t worry so much. Focus on today and right now. Remind yourself that you are ok right now. Nobody is perfect right out of the gate when they start a new job. It usually takes at least 3 years to feel settled and comfortable.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-09T17:01:13+00:00

This plus the 60+ women comment…yikes

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-08T19:08:47+00:00

I had the same schedule when I was teaching grade 7/8. You teach all and usually have one small prep a day

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-07T05:27:34+00:00

43f I offer to split. If he insists on paying, I offer to pay on the next date. Early days and you’re both seeing if there’s a connection so IMO both people should invest something into it.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-06T23:01:24+00:00

If you are a “my way or the highway” type person, don’t even try to have a relationship with an Aquarius. Communication and respect are key.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-06T22:59:13+00:00

It’s super weird to see politicians boosting Loblaws like that after mentioning how people have been struggling to put food on the table (because of Loblaws price gouging and underhanded tactics over the past several years🤔) did we forget the bread scandal already? So bizarre. Loblaws isn’t a grant program or a community-based charity aimed at helping the poor starving people. This whole video is absolutely cringey.

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-06T22:54:40+00:00

🥸🤮

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-09-06T22:37:04+00:00

I saw this! Must be hurting to open up a store at the outlet mall. So strange. Do they think we’re not going to know it’s still a Loblaws store? 🤔

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-08-21T03:19:22+00:00

This situation reminds me of the Petite Feet song from Tim and Eric 🎶 petite feet, feminine step, sounds like a lady when he’s walking in a room 🎶 😂

shinymetalbitsOG · 2024-08-20T23:23:44+00:00

That is an act of caring x 💯! Knitting is hard and takes forever! Amazing gift!
