I really wish there was something like that when I was a kid. It would have been nice to have an outside, "official" source telling you that when you're a child, you cry, and your parents don't or can't support you, it's because there's something wrong with them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even as a parent who fails it doesn't necessarily portray them as "villains" per say, just more that they are failing without knowing because they only see the surface level of things going on. I heard a leading person in this talk about how moving and the death of a loved one are 1 and 2 on the list of things that negatively impact people in terms of stress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Calling to break up with AT&T today for my bundled internet and DirecTV as now finally out in the country where I live I could get much higher speed Internet. T Mobile 5G internet has me pulling over 200 mbps and I got a deco net mesh system hooked up, so now there are no dead spots in my entire house ($200 for the system). The T Mobile 5G internet is $50 a month with NO CONTRACT. My bundled AT&T combination is almost $130 a month. Wish me luck boys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that division is collapsing on AT&T like Blockbuster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my dad lived with me for a brief period as an adult, he got under my skin. Years later, we have a very “surface-level” relationship. I still talk to him, but I’m not as emotionally invested. However, he is now on day 10 in the hospital, and I hate seeing him like this. He is showing significant improvement though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Gave my principals a heads up that I’ll likely be accepting a job this summer outside of education, just because I know they’re working on scheduling for next year and I don’t want them to waste their time. They responded by transferring me to the middle school effective in the fall. I still stand by my decision as I’d feel terrible if it happened to another coworker, but yeah, up since 2:00AM trying to digest this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not their fault, as the administration at central office is once again inexplicably cutting HS positions despite being financially solvent through 2027. At least they can hire 2 more administrators at central office though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
