Do you have to figure out your own coverage when you’re out? I got a text from my boss asking who I’m asking to step in for me when I take vacation at the end of the month. I really thought that this was something I did NOT have to do. Has anyone else been asked to do this?

I usually try to have a rough idea of who is getting delegated what, but I expect my manager to implement my suggestions. I feel uncomfortable telling my colleagues what to do…

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?
I’ve been in my current role for almost 4 years. While I am generally happy, & have flexibility with time off for personal matters, there are things that bother me. I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.

SHORTS ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS MARKET. It's stunning to say that after 4 rip-roaring up days. But, let's step back and look at the 1 hour chart for the past month. This week, we literally went to the top of the range. And, our high was with .25 point of the high established on June 15, 3156.25. We have never spent more than two hours above 3146. Even though the 15 short technically broke today, the long also did, reinstating the 15 minute short.
