What does/did your Administration do during COVID for Self-Care for Teachers & Staff? I’ll go first! 😊 *bought us lunch like six times (like Chick-fil-A lunch). *wellness November (prizes). *self-care-Bingo (again prizes) *our principal came over the PA and told us to go home! It was beautiful weather outside *unless there is an ER, no calls/texts to colleagues after 6 pm and on weekends. What is happening/happened at your schools??

I’m currently in a 1BR for $2400. Am I crazy to pay $3k for a studio in a much nicer building in the same area? My current building is trash and I realized having an updated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room would be really nice, but not sure if it’s worth the price tag vs finding another place at $2500ish. I’ll be local for the foreseeable future even post-COVID

I made a reservation for my family at JW Marriott in India and they found someone dirty clothes and underwear near lamp in the room, the Marriott people came and cleaned the room and offered free dinner
I feel really terrified where on their website they say we clean do well and this happened with COVID going on. Should they compensate me with points?

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

Horrible anxiety about considering a new job....
I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept. They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

Did anyone see their salary or bonus increase due to COVID? If so, how? Did you change jobs?

How long did you take off time from COVID?

Anyone know where I can do walk-up COVID test around Lakeview/Lincoln Park? CVS wouldn’t let me sched bc I have no symptoms but want to get tested as I was just out of state and have to see family

Anyone know where to find consistent, decent indoor pickup runs for basketball in the city? For post-covid obv, but wanted to start thinking about a gym that wouldn’t break the bank. Thanks!

Tagline for award shows post COVID

Ever had an attorney randomly pull food that they somehow squished in their shoe during long court days. One day, it was taking forever in federal court due to the COVID backlog. An attorney was sitting at a table across from where I was sitting. Kept noticing him reaching down like he was scratching his foot then would bring his hand to his mouth. Very strange. Court concluded and I saw him by his car taking off his shoe and pulling a squished baggy with half a sandwich out of it.

I dont understand why ppl think the 2008 crash was so bad. Wasnt the dip at the beginning of COVID worse??? Please educate me 😭

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

Anybody else in the banking sector and feel things have been so much more hectic since covid?

After 5 years of freelancing (which I have loved) I am considering a full-time gig. Although COVID is in the back of my mind, this is more about what I’ve been lacking since FL: consistent team, seeing an idea all the way through, challenging myself to grow, being exposed to latest tech trends to better my ideas... I know I can always go back to FL if FT doesn’t work out, but curious where others’ heads are at these days. Am I crazy to consider going back to the golden shackles?

Copywriters, what are your main responsibilities on a shoot? I haven’t worked on many and am never sure if I’m being helpful enough. I’m always ready to do rewrites on the spot if need be, but don’t know if there’s anything else I should be helping the team with on set.

Time to party, bring in the booze, because we already got the peanuts.

I am not able to upload my tax declaration details from the greyHR portal. It is showing an error message since morning. Is there anyone else who is facing the same issue

How can I add multiple characteristics within one cell and make sure that a pivot table can read both values independently if needed? E.g., I have a column titled “color” and in one cell I write “red” and the other “red, blue”. I’d like a pivot table / formula to be able to count that there are technically two “reds” in this data set. Any tips?

Hey you, weary teacher, I see you.
I hear you sigh,
eyes closed,
Head in your hands...

I know the things you think,
the doubts,
fears,
the frustrated pain...

I know you are trying.
I know you work hard.
Sometimes it seems like you’re the only one
in the whole damn school who cares...

I know.
I see.
I hear.
I care.

You are the difference.
You are power.
Through you flows the future.
You author the stories of the world.

I care about the tale you are creating.
Please keep writing. Please.

Life as a teacher is difficult. It is stressful as a those in the medical and law enforcement profession.

These are simple facts that people don't get about what we do.

How to deal with parents that want to know everything but you don’t want to tell them everything because you want to loose your job?

Tonight is hard because tomorrow I will be attending a funeral for a former student. He died by suicide.

5 years ago I read him Magic Treehouse books.

I remember how excited he was to meet his behavior goal for the first time.

I was hoping to see him in 2 years at the HS.

What is the quickest way to “lift you up”?

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?

How many of us have a teacher buddy that we hang out with, after school hours??

It has taken me well over a week and a half to feel like a human again this break. 3 days left and I feel simultaneously like I’m getting shorted and grateful that I had the time to have my breakdown off-the-clock. When do you go back and are you feeling ready?

It’s hard not to take work home with us but we can’t, not even papers to grade. Give yourself a rest at home!

I am trying to lose weight and of course the first thing you are always told is to drink a lot of water. As a teacher, how is that possible when you can't leave the room during class time? And I don't think is healthy to do it all after work. Suggestions?
