Still haven’t seen Wicked, but it does warm my heart to know that there is now an entire other generation that is going to attempt to read, and inevitably decide not to finish, the book it’s based on

A2: I know there are earlier signs that I haven't figured out how to look for, but the first one I usually notice is when I stop having ideas about how to do something different or better.

I teach Algebra. I do not understand how that makes me qualified to answer things like "Does the youth figure out why he/she is afraid and do something to reduce the fear?" and 49 other similar questions about a student.

I just don't know how much longer I can do this job. I'm not sure my skin is thick enough anymore. My patienice is getting thinner and my frustration is growing and I don't know how to reverse those trends. Is this burn out? It feels like burn out.

In the debate between "never ever take work home" and "work as much as you want/need to", I fall firmly in camp "refuse to do anything at home for weeks then cram a 16-hour work weekend to catch up/get ahead because the job can't be done well within contract hours." #EduSky

I have one algebra class that works together wonderfully, and the majority are engaged and motivated, even the ones who really really struggle.
I have another that will. Not. Talk. Not to me, not to each other, not about math, not about not math, not on a boat, not with a goat.

To be honest there were a lot of things I didn't think to ask my husband before agreeing to marry him. So I got very lucky that, as someone who has a horrific sense of direction and cannot keep bamboo alive, he seems to have a compass in his head and keeps plants that do this:

Do you remember the most important hug you ever got?
Mine was in the moments right after my grandmother died. Her brother, a bear of a man, gave me the most protective comforting hug I have ever received.
He had a stroke today and all I can think about is that hug. Awaiting word on prognosis.

Today in class (9th, Algebra):
One of my whiteboard tables was squeaking, so I mentioned in front of the kids that I'd need to remember to bring in WD-40 tomorrow.
Three kids: "Who?"
Apparently WD-40 sounds like a rapper, and bringing a rapper to school to fix a squeaky table was plausible?

Sometimes we get overwhelmed and freeze. Sometimes we need someone to force us to get organized and make a plan. Sometimes that means we can't go see our girlfriend until the plan is in place.
And sometimes I realize I'm doing a pretty good job when my HS senior thanks me for intervening.

If your vehicle has a feature called "brake hold", you can't go through a car wash with it on. And you'll look like an idiot who can't put their car in neutral if you try.

I'm too old to not know how not to be awkward at the grocery store. There isn't enough room to stand alongside the cart in the checkout lane to load the bags back in the cart so I'm jockeying with it and lifting things awkwardly over the handle and I just know I'm getting a D in Customer Skills.

When I decided on gastric bypass, I felt fully informed and prepared for my future life and the ways it would change. And I truly was, with one exception. I was fully informed that I would no longer be able to take ibuprofen. But

Sometimes the stars align and neither child has any band competitions, football games, track meets, college visits or *anything* that needs my attendance for an entire weekend. I may actually catch up on laundry and life admin. Ooo I might see a movie! Any recommendations?

Loving the feeds and finding lots of math teachers and CS teachers, but other communities don't seem to exist yet. Also not sure how to search for "randomly funny about boring life stuff" accounts, which turns out to be my favorite follow.
