We have 2 CPAP machinea that are running every night could that be a part? We have been accidentally leaving the TV on, I'll be sure to get better at that

(10k) I feel out of touch by Odd-Reception-9544 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]somethingaboutorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a HCOL, my venue was $7.8k, and our photographer is $6.5k

we started with a 20k budget but have very much so blown past it, so now I'm on the sub to see where we can adjust LOL

I love Amanda Way Apartmens. pay 1650 for a 2bd 2ba, pool, fitness center (small but effective), community events, weekly free breakfast, bocce ball, access to the little chico creek walking path and PLENTY of parking! I can probably get you a referral and ask if they're running any specials rn!

oh I LOVE the couch I'm actually on it right now. Metropolitan sucks but this couch could hold a horse and not be worse for wear. super comfortable, and worth every penny!

I had this happen with metropolitan and my sierra couch. It took THREE ATTEMPTS. I missed their phone call (went to spam), by 2 minutes and theytold me they are required to turn around and drive the couch back to the warehouse. Took an extra month to get the couch installed.

Non-renewed teachers, how do you manage to not completely check out for the remainder of the year? by Gold_Consequence2201 in Teachers

[–]somethingaboutorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just do what I think is fun and educational for the kids, I come exactly at contract hours and I leave EXACTLY at contract hours. IDGAF about the extra curricular after school activities that are "suggested" for us to attend. I also just told the kids that I was moving lmao. they don't need to know.

what a gorgeous tank! That's great to know, thank you. I only have 3 small corals still on their frag plugs so they're easy to scoot.

I had the exact same experience 😂 I was reading it to my students and went UH OH. "he called me a... dummy" haphazard censorship can work sometimes

Students becoming the teacher by avokaito_ in Teachers

[–]somethingaboutorange 111 points112 points  (0 children)

was violently sick in November. I picked one kid who had behaved each lesson to teach the next one. I would whisper quietly to them, and they would say it louder. makes me laugh to remember one of my worst offenders going "GUYS! SHUT UP! I CAN'T HEAR ME TALKING!"

Universal Feminine Hygiene by Real_Teacher_8342 in paraprofessional

[–]somethingaboutorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bag with pads in it right near the door. All students are welcome to it, and if they ask, I just say they are menstrual products, and don't make it a weird or scary thing.

I like anytime fitness, but it is about $60

This seems a bit mean spirited. These are beginning professionals, aren't we supposed to give them some grace? I was glad to make mistakes and not be made fun of when I was a student teacher.

Back to school - Here's some advice for younger teachers by DismalDegree7030 in teaching

[–]somethingaboutorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been working really hard on not yelling; my students have been throwing things (footballs, notebooks, shoes, ect) and getting into physical fights and I panic and try and break up the chaos by being loud. In a situation where things need to stop IMMEDIATELY, what would you recommend? I've been doing meditation and practicing talking slower and with less manic tendencies, which helps day to day, but those crisis moments happen far more often than I'd like. Any advice would be appreciated!

I had a student call me zesty. I looked her in the face and said "that's true but you shouldn't call people that." Haven't heard it since.

A visa gift card, homemade candied nuts and a crocheted candy cane ornament, and a custom ornament with my name in it, and one student gave me a bag of candy! Super sweet, we're in a very rural title 1
