Theoretically the work rules and environment at highschools nowadays is downright nightmarish, but since in practice what you can and can't do comes down to how you frame it and how good you are at talking your way through the hierarchy, it's not stressful at all for me and so long as I get results the administration doesn't get in the way.
I do often see other teachers that aren't good at the workplace politics losing hair and sleep over it though.Monday, 10-Oct-22 19:11:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Ha, "other teachers" / "the District" has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my deciding to actually goto school and get teacher-certified up, I do not politick worth a crap
-
@scribus For me "other teachers" hasn't been too big a hurdle, because even though some are antagonistic (particularly the ideologues) they also tend to be massive cowards, so my usual strategy of just talking with full honesty to whoever's in charge is not something they know how to deal with.
The district and the ministry are another issue altogether, they seem to be on some sort of one-sided competition to prove the limits of insanity and incompetence when it comes to regulations and counterproductive ideas can yet be pushed further. The latest great ideas they had was a proposal to remove the attendance requirements so that students can't fail a class by not attending; and to demand tech schools be more lax with dress code (the dress code for tech school is just no hats, no piercings or jewelry in the workshop, pants without holes and knee-length blue or white overall/duster, all of which are basic safety requirements in a workshop)

In a plot twist that I'm sure no one expected, I'm teaching highschool now, among other things. It's among the most fun jobs I've had.

@adiwan We're currently going through the once-a-century social hysteria so at least one of them is true, the other requires more study.

I-66 coming out of Washington had a bunch of construction being done on it tonight which meant I couldn’t get into any of the exits leading home. The result is that I had to drive through the dying rural part of Northern Virginia to get home. Two lanes, one in each direction, on a winding, narrow, wooded road in a “The Hills Have Eyes” looking area, critters everywhere, ominous glimpses of dilapidated ranch-style homes with pickups and Trump 2024 signage, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any spookier, a decapitated deer laying in a pool of its own blood that I had to avoid running over. Jordan Peele couldn’t have depicted a more uncomfortable drive.

@zeldatra this sounds like a genuinely exciting roadtrip, it needs spoopy music

You know, I know I didn't vote for him, but I still half-expected Glenn Youngkin to at least visit Virginia from time to time after he became our Governor, it seems like he doesn't like it here very much.

You voted for Trump because Biden was going to crash the housing market. I voted for Biden because Biden was going to crash the housing market. We are not the same.

As somebody who's suffered with body dysmorphia my entire adult life, it's incredibly disheartening to see that the response to Dream's face reveal was met with a sea of very personal insults about his looks from a bunch of so-called "woke" people, who then proceeded to use the (from what i can find, purely speculative because he's white, lives in Florida, and has a toxic fanbase) allegations that he's racist to justify it. Like, dude, attack him on THAT then, the fact that you seemed not to care until you found a physical trait of his you could attack is incredibly telling about the value you place on someone's looks. I spent a large part of my life hating myself because I wasn't as good-looking as my classmates, which is something I could not control, but was still pointed out to me daily, and seeing all of this is bringing me back to that. It's at the forefront of my mind again, all in the name of dunking on some YouTuber you don't like.

I really like the open source wireless router/access point firmware DD-WRT. I really like it because it can make a $10 cheap router usable. Most built-in firmwares are so cut down or limited that make me furious. My go-to router for the cheapest possible deploy is a D-Link DIR 615. It is not the best and it is not the worst but most wireless devices are compatible with it (B/G/N) and costs usually about $5 used and new.

I'm laughing really hard right now. Google is shutting down Stadia. Before the pandemic I had an intense discussion with a colleague about cloud gaming and the colleague was a huge fan of Stadia, and I was mostly against it. Who has won now?

150mg of Delta 8 THC. That’s what was in it. Jesus. Christ. I’m actually shocked I didn’t die.

The legal-in-my-state substances I took hit me way harder than I thought they would last night. Maybe shouldn’t do that again.

@scribus there was apparently waaaaaay more THC in the edible than I thought. My brain basically shut down while my body went into autopilot and at some point I just decided to go to sleep because paranoia was setting in. I then slept for twelve hours, woke up, came to work, realized it was still kind of working its way through my system, it’s 3pm now and I’m only just feeling normal again.

@zeldatra hahaha been there, man. Been there.... I was at a Christmas party, and the conversational peer of the Yule Log.
