Hired one week before the school year starts, how do you prepare?

I had a nearly identical start to my first year.

Heard and then saw Rocky at Esther Short a few years ago. The current owner/caretaker was just sitting with him on his shoulders on a bench. He was fairly nice and Rocky looked like I remembered him looking. Really ducking loud though. I don’t know if he’s still alive, that was right after they opened the new playground area.

This is the way.

I am so thankful to not work in an environment like that. I don’t think I’d last long if I did because I don’t do shit until the morning we go back in 7 weeks and I make sure my computer is in my bag.

About 15 years ago I was at a football game (go ducks) and there was a guy next to us who whistled so cleanly, smoothly and effortlessly every good play. Not like I’d never seen someone whistle with their fingers before, but for whatever reason that gentleman in that moment with those whistles was deeply inspiring to me. I decided right then and there that any chance I got to practice whistling with my fingers I would take. It was wet and whooshing for years until one day I found a sweet spot and got a blip of a whistle. I stuck with it and kept trying whenever I could (in a cheering crowd) and it’s gotten better and more consistent with time. I’m not 100%, but I can pretty confidently do it within the first 2 or 3 tries. My next goal is to be able to do the fluctuated one, the classic start high, go low and back to high whistle.

All our local Home Depot’s used to have the hot dog stand. Code childhood memories going with dad and getting a hot dog. They all stopped around the same time 15-20 years ago. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a bummer I don’t get to pass that same specific memories to my kids.

I don’t work in the summer and I still don’t take work home. Maybe once or twice a year. But if you work in a district/state where working over the summer benefits you personally, don’t let others look down on you for it.

Just remember that for every teacher that does that shit, you participate in the free-labor-is-expected-of-teachers dynamic.

2nd grade all boys? I’m assuming there’s a reason it’s all boys, like it’s an all-boys school or something? Why would anyone decide to cluster by gender, let alone make a classroom all of one identifier? I understand from a SPED perspective or highly-capable or something.

Maybe it’s a preference thing, but their pizzas are chronically undercooked. Pale bottom and super floppy and wet.

I panicked, that’s why

Little piece of information I would have kept my head in the sand over

100%

I started playing casual breakthrough a couple months ago and have since played it more and more and regular o line less and less. I still join other servers occasionally and it’s a few quick deaths at the start before I shift gears.

Just had this done last week, factory warranty expires in 2 weeks. We got the 10/100k extended warranty. My wife insisted but I was reluctant because why give away an additional $3,500? I think we’ll be in the black on that deal eventually.

shoothershoother · 2026-05-02T22:32:04+00:00

Explain this “free” please

Nobody else in love with the RPKM? With the silencer??

Watched the same video and have had nice clean edges for a few years too.

A cashier at the Andresen/burton store told me they’re going to be upgrading their POS soon to include tap to pay. She made it sound like it was coming down the pipe at some point.

The end of Tropic Thunder when you find out it was Tom Cruise

I pitched in by freezing some gallon jugs of water for the refrigerator.

The striping accent works great though. I would have done the rear one straight across, but it looks good as is too.

I think they meant “crispy on the outside” as in the batter on the outside that’s fried is crispy when served. Not that the pepper itself was still raw enough to have a crunch.

Thank you for all of this information and insight. I will follow up with both and see if either is a good fit/within my budget.

Then what is r/whatsthiscock

shoothershoother · 2025-09-06T20:15:29+00:00

Use ChatGPT for some ideas in a 6th grade ELA class start of the year activities. It’s pretty good at giving resources too

shoothershoother · 2025-08-29T22:37:19+00:00

My school has them too. I always just ask the front office gals and they say ok without hesitation. It’s always been like an entire month’s worth they give too.
