Other than the books I pre-ordered today, my goal for 2025 is to not buy anything new until I read EVERYTHING on my TBR list.

This strike is really starting to take a toll on my mental health.
I think tomorrow I’m going to go for a long walk outside, and then go home and write a paper.

I saw some colleagues today and it was really nice but boy do I miss the social component of my job a lot.
As someone who is very content living alone, I am finally feeling the effects of the isolation, and I don’t like it.
I’d give a lot for a hug or three from *someone* right about now.

The last time I talked about books on here I got called a much of names by people who disagreed with me about listening to audiobooks and reading the printed word being different experiences of the same text.
I’m not falling for that again.

Once, I had some big feelings about baseball.
Tonight, I have some big feelings about baseball, but I know that it’s like 4 months until pitchers and catchers report, and it’ll be okay.

Also if you’re in Alberta and your kids are at home because teachers are on strike, please know that we aren’t doing this to punish your kids.
The UCP is punishing kids by not addressing any of the issues that we have repeatedly asked them to address.

Question: if there’s a written portion of a job interview, should the candidates be informed before the interview? Or is it ok to leave it as a surprise?

I DONE DID IT
I applied for a new job (same school, still teaching, different responsibilities).
Haven’t heard yet about an interview but I’m sure it’s happening.
I haven’t had an interview in 6 years.
