@goosehd I appreciate the reassurance and kind words. I’m sure I’ll be okay (albeit a little more ornery to my leadership), my heart just goes to the school districts we serve. Ultimately the kids will be the ones affected.
Just gotta keep paddling until the next wave comes. Or the next snow storm? I had a witty ending but totally lost it.
I'm as ugly as you

My admonishment was sharp and loud. You could have heard a pin drop afterwards.
Im guessing you werent wearing dinosaur crocs.

@J-IV we have a lot of teachers in my building that are feeling this same anxiety that are on staff through special grant funding. It's rather unnerving.
-
@Mizmazzle just got to keep on, keeping on. Hope it’s not so bad in your neck of the woods

@J-IV lotta nervous folks about. I work in Aurora, Colorado. Which has been one of the target cities mentioned in speeches and on the news a lot. We have a very large immigrant community in the neighborhoods surrounding my school. We just try our best to create a caring environment that fosters compassion and growth.

That part.

The US is beyond effed right now. We had a great run.

Rest of the free world is heading in the same direction. But I guess that's no consolation.
I always turn to Alan Watts' old lectures when I feel somewhat daunted.

@mclaincausey that will always be one of the funniest pieces by Chappelle. Always reminds me of this one as well:
Ooooh the racism, it's killing me inside

I'm getting really tired of having to eat. Sometimes I love eating. I made my career around food. But sometimes when I'm busy, or just uninterested, it becomes a real chore. Gotta fuel my body, blah, blah, blah.

@seawolf I see both sides of this. You are really "lucky" that you have the ability to cook interesting things for yourself without fussing too much. Don't forget that people would love to have your skills.
So many people struggle to be able to cook for themselves, or need to closely follow a recipe which make it more time consuming to cook at home.
I have many friends and a sibling that order door dash once or twice a day because cooking is a hassle or they "just don't cook".
Your rant reminds me of a meme that constantly comes across my feed. something like, " I didn't realize one of the hardest parts about being an adult is figuring what to eat for dinner EVERY NIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"!!!"
I also work around food and am constantly planning meals. But new ideas are hard to come by sometimes. When we make our shopping list its greens, veggies and fruits, healthy meats and nuts. not always easy to cook new exciting things.
Our go to lazy night meal is a sheet pan of roasted veggies and seasoning boneless skinless chicken thighs. I turn on the rice cooker once or twice a week too as a carb and use leftovers to make fried rice.
