      Realizing that the last cost of living raise I had was completely consumed by car and health insurance premium hikes, I’m net poorer now than I was last year and that is before you factor in price hikes for everything else.

      Is this just how it’s gonna go?

      I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
      I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
      I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

        I assume poorly.

        (Also I am sorry and I empathize for your pain but the pun was RIGHT THERE.)

          @SpaceKhomeini car and home insurance hikes have been brutal AF in our area too. 😞

            Pretty much, until the working class rises up.

              @junipersky My mil just switched jobs because her principal was absolutely terrible to her. The previous school year she was aaaaalllll about how awesome mil was and this year she would call her at 7-8 at night to dress her down for every tiny thing. The final straw came when the principal told her she couldn’t have a Christmas party in her room for the kids.

              Jokes on the principal tho, mil got an easier job paying almost double what the county school board was paying her.

                  @Wizz same on all fronts.

                  I guess no one will do it unless I do. I should learn how to organize communities. No doubt my exquisite social skills will make me the best leader ever, heh.

                      I mulled over saying this at all at the risk of sounding like the keyboard Marxist I am but at this point we have to be willing to engage in behavior that could be deemed risky, potentially illegal, and destructive (at least to economic output on a large scale).

                      Even worse, we have to be willing to face these things for each other, and the ruling class has done a hell of a job flooding the zone with an endless torrent of culture war bullshit reasonable people in positions of nominal power all have to prioritize cleaning up the damage from first (and mind you, a lot of that is heinous).

                      We’re just not there. Not by a longshot. I’m definitely including myself here.

                                I have had my hair professionally dyed for years (rainbow was my fav). I’ve decided to attempt to dye my own hair. I’m just sitting here looking at all the dye and the things. I’m more than a little nervous to do it.

                                My peeve is … it’s just hair. I can get it covered if it turns out bad. I use to do this before I could afford to get it professionally dyed. It’s. Just. Hair.

                                    I did it. It’s all a bright auburn now. It covered all the blue and purple (yay color theory)

                                      Rather than hire subs for the day our district has opted for one sub per building that is there 100% of the time. It is supposed to foster relationships and cut down on behaviors because the kids know they will see her again and also that their teacher will communicate with her.

                                      She’s insufferable though. She has an early childhood education degree (prek-3), but hadn’t passed her assessments nor finished her English as a second language or reading requirements for licensure. She hasn’t student taught. (Some COVID nonsense allowed her to graduate without it.)

                                      But she ~insists~ she is a ~real teacher~ and it drives me BONKERS. She has zero classroom management skills, and when she is “teaching” often gets small but significant facts wrong that will lead to serious misconceptions later. All new teachers do this, but the mark of a good new teacher is that they listen to feedback and do better. She shrugs off all corrections and keeps insisting she knows best. It has gotten to the point I refuse to have her touch my reading groups because I know she will teach them an error it will take me forever to undo. She never follows the plans the teachers leave and has favorites among the kids. She has even requested one out special needs 6th graders be pulled out of class and sent elsewhere whenever she covers that level. (Um, feels illegal to me, but I have no idea.)

                                      Then last night she was going on and on about ADHD and how she has it and so she knows what parents should/shouldn’t do about it and I wanted to go “IT DOES NOT MATTER. YOU ARE NOT A TEACHER LET ALONE A PSYCHOLOGIST.”

                                        @junipersky Oh god. She sounds like a nightmare. I love the idea of having a building sub or two who can be consistent for teachers and students but man, when you get stuck with a BAD one…ugh.

                                          @junipersky Zero classroom management skills, teaching leads to small but significant mistakes, plays favourites (like, we all have students we like more than others, we just don’t let that impact the lesson/class structure)…

                                          Sounds like someone headed right into administration to me. 😛

                                            Details matter, of course, but on the surface - yep, sounds like a likely violation of IDEA laws.
