@Mizmazzle Hope they see your value and hire you, man! With your charm and charisma, how could they not?

Love these 18 ounce 555s I got from @Bailey on the marketplace. They're nowhere near looking as good as @T4920 but I'm working on it.

Looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

@Mizmazzle I hope you find that, my dude. Most students are wonderful human beings, and it's incredibly rewarding to build relationships with them and see them grow. I will miss that.

Couldn't agree more @Mizmazzle. I grew up poor and charged into this profession with a helluva lot of passion and positive intentions. Came in with a MA in History, some decent writing skills, years of customer service experience that hardened me a bit to the bullshit, but I still just can't deal with the continual onslaught of unrealistic expectations, micromanagement, and cacophony of mental noise that goes along with this profession. So much needs to change, but those of us who are here in the trenches are rarely asked, and the ones who do speak the loudest are often the dreaded "yes men" that seem so frequently to be first in line for promotions to administration.

@goosehd That made me laugh hard! Yeah, my wife and I don't utilize that method of correction for our kids, though that is what I grew up with. My grandma used to tell me about the Catholic nuns at her elementary school in San Francisco - they'd use a ruler on kids' hands, paddles, and all varieties of corporal punishment. I'd say we've come a long way. Sadly, we appear to have gone too far in some regards. I have a coworker who broke up a fight in his classroom, and one of the students threatened to shoot him. Kid got suspended for a few days and was back in his class. Blows my mind.

@goosehd Wild, right?!? lol

Fellow teacher here. High school at an inner city school. This will likely be my last year in education - at least anything below college. Been in the thick of it for nearly nine years now, and it's pretty damn ludicrous. Recently watched a vid on Instagram by a teacher, and she suggested something brilliant: all adults in the U.S. should have to substitute teach to see what it's like. I feel your pain @Oaktavia and @Mizmazzle. Kudos to you for soldiering on. I think I'm done.

Shout out to @TennesseeWill for the fantastic transaction. Shirt is lovely and fits perfectly. Great communication. Thank you!

Shout out to @Plant-Life . Did a cross-country shirt swap and couldn't be happier. The 235 is exactly as described and got here within 3 days. Thank you! Hope you enjoy the 189!

@Luijim78 I second what @the246guy said - all of your photos and fits look so good! The accents you toss in there with the jewelry, wallet, shades, etc - everything is so on point.

@mclaincausey Looking good, man! Everything in this 'fit goes together so perfectly. Fades are looking great!

I've never considered overalls, but damn, @endo those look incredible on you! Fit is superb.

@dinobarnesberlin We didn't check out Potter's. Maybe next time. We were there for only one actual full day and resolved to do little more than rest and eat great food. Started the day with Roadhouse Coffee which was really excellent, then had a delicious breakfast at Ginochio's, and finished the day with an amazing dinner at Terrapin Creek. We try to keep our vacations as low key as possible.

In Bodega Bay, celebrating 8 years of bliss with my best friend and wearing the best damn clothing brand I've ever encountered.

@neph93 Hope you're getting the love and support you need as you wade through the miasma. Miss your contributions here in the forum and hope you're able to get to a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin. Much love!

Cross-post from WAYWT. Thought I'd share one way I'm planning to style this lovely shirt. Really a nice piece. Sorry for the crappy camera skills.

Just got this shirt last week, and I am really enjoying the possibilities. Trying to take decent selfies is really making me appreciate the camera skills of others. I'm so abysmally bad at it. haha

Shout out to @HalfPastNever for the wonderfully smooth transaction on the 21oz 555s. Great communication. Arrived exactly as described. Thanks, man!

Had a perfectly smooth transaction with @DemGab on a lovely pair of bb 555s. Thanks for shipping them all the way from Cyprus to Sacramento! Really pleasant experience.
