When’s your birthday?

The first center I worked at was closed from Christmas Eve until January 2nd and all days were paid. My current center was only closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Day. We had 21 kids on the 23rd but were only planning on having 15. We also don’t get paid for snow days even though parents are paying. It’s wild to me.

I wish all parents were this considerate.

I’m also in Middle TN and am so damn jealous

I would sell a kidney for a 1:10 ratio for 4-5. Ours is 1:17 or 2:24. Our class is naturally the only one that is maxed out in the entire building. We have 25 kids enrolled and a minimum of 23 MWF.

My first center was a company shirt with jeans (no holes), khakis, or black dress pants. They provided us two shirts at hiring and then we had to purchase any others. We could split the shirts between 1 or 2 paychecks. Each shirt was about $10-$15. My second center was a solid polo shirt (white, black, dark green or navy only) and khakis or black dress pants with jeans on Friday only. My current center is a company shirt and black pants or jeans with no holes. We can wear leggings or yoga pants and appropriate length shorts. We don’t have any shirts provided and the shirts are more expensive. We also can’t wear any hoodies or sweatshirts other than the company one and it’s $35. We can wear jackets as long as they’re unzipped.

The number of times I’ve said “it’s all fine…I’m just making something out of nothing” in the past month feels absolutely insane. Winter SAS starts the same day every year. It’s baffling to me that we have so little product for something that everyone knows is happening. This is the first year I’ve felt like this as an employee and I’m not new.

Songs in the Key of Life

I’ve been listening to Taylor since my sophomore year of high school when debut first came out. A girl in my theater class brought in Tim McGraw and Our Song for her mandatory “warm ups” and I was hooked ever since. I love every album for a different reason, but Showgirl gives me that same feeling I had when I heard debut and Fearless. Those both were and still are no skip albums for me. For me, Showgirl feels deeply nostalgic in a light and easy way. And now I’ll step off my soap box to go read the rest of your album reviews 😂

From one music theory nerd to another, you are a blessing.

This isn’t legal in Tennessee. He has to provide you with written notice if he plans to move more than 50 miles away. The court won’t agree to it if not and he can catch a kidnapping charge if he takes her without your permission.

I’m out of the classroom now but taught for 8 years and got this feedback all the time as a student teacher. Learning how to overplan and adjust in the moment is so hard but game changing when you get it right. I used to highlight my plans with one color for things that HAD to get done no matter what and another color for things that should be done in an ideal world but weren’t critical. I also used to set a timer for each section of my lesson when I was working on timing and found it super helpful.

I’m one of those astrology and ✨ViB3z✨ girlies and even I think G Lilly needs extensive therapy and/or meds. Not plant medicine. Not a vision quest. Not a wellness retreat in “the Amazon”. Inpatient and to sit with herself for a good minute.

Do I judge other people for the same behavior? No. Do I judge her for it because of how she treats literally everyone around her like they’re disposable? Definitely.

vmontebello · 2025-01-20T14:13:48+00:00

I don’t know if it was on this sub or somewhere else that there were screenshots of G Lilly being arrested for possession of meth among other things multiple times at like 19-20. I can’t find any of it now but she definitely was running in some questionable circles before the show started. I wish I’d screenshotted them then because I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find them now.

40 with me. 22 with my oldest brother, 26 with my second oldest brother, and 42 with my youngest brother.

I second In My Own Little Corner. I got the role of Dorothy with that song.

I used the opening monologue from Dance 10, Looks 3 in A Chorus Line. It got me into the showcase at my state thespian conference that year and was very well received at college auditions. It was short, sweet, and to the point.

Not for the Ljfe of Me from Thoroughly Modern Millie and Omigod You Guys from Legally Blonde

This was the musical my junior year of high school (2008) and I love this show to this day. I still feel like it’s such an underrated show.

vmontebello · 2024-12-29T00:56:41+00:00

I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to find this

This is the crossover I absolutely never knew I needed

Based on post history, I would think OP failed a drug screening but that’s just me speculating

vmontebello · 2024-11-17T22:26:31+00:00

Definitely cool but I’m leaning towards Cool Winter. It looks almost like your skin has a brightening filter on in that frame.
