Ok so he’s off work for a bit (health stuff) and I dislike it so much. I do absolutely always want to be in his orbit and I hate that I can’t right now.

Last chance to order a calendar from me if you’d like one I’m placing the order from the printer nov 26 after work. $25 to Canada $30 to the US forms.gle/ascubx24WTNN...

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.

My sleep schedule has been completely fucked since the strike started. I have very little motivation to do anything, so instead I sleep and read.

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.

I’m making calendars again. $25 in Canada, $30 to the US, $35 international Order cutoff is November 25. Order form is here: forms.gle/v11LUP32Ktre...

So. Coffee tomorrow, apparently. (I’m trying SO HARD to be chill about this)

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.

After I’m done this degree I will not be going back to school for a very long time.

On the other place, a couple posts escaped containment and now my mentions have things like this. Love to have an opinion on the internet.

The one thing the other place got right is the quality filter. Mine is holding like the Hoover Dam.

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. mig14.wordpress.com/2022/10/31/o...

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

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.

I need to be here more. Everything is terrible everywhere but this echo chamber is less intense than the other one

You know when you just want to talk to someone all the time? And just be in their orbit?

It is rare that I read more than one book in a year that absolutely destroys me and then puts me back together, but I’ve done it 4 times in 12 months. Migrations Once There Were Wolves All the Colors of the Dark My Friends (Also hi, hello)

The F1 movie was great. I might go see it in imax

Yeah, they stink. Sorry pals.

Friends my soul is very very tired

Man. Brad Marchand.

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? (This is for a teaching job. There’s no standard policy in the school district about it)

Thankfully we have en extra-long weekend so I can just rot in bed today and not feel like I’m not wasting time

I DONE DID IT

How is it 11pm??? I was going to go to bed at 10, and yet

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.

I want to be Chantal Hébert when I grow up. She’s so cool

Ok so… I have a kiddo in need of some support. He’s in a very complicated family situation. He’s safe and has a roof over his head, but income is an issue. I’d be happy to give more information privately, but if anyone can support with grocery money, I’d be real appreciative. Let me know.

I was gone for a little over a week and I’m laying in my own bed and it’s clean sheet day and the windows are open and I am very very happy right now

They are my favourite political party, by far.

I’m on a little holiday. Went to see my aunt on the farm and took some photos.

Bad news comes in threes and I am just waiting for the other thing. (All work related; nothing super serious but I am having quite a week)

I was ready but my patience is wearing really thin.

Look I know I talk a big talk but I think I might go to bed

At the beginning of spring break my dad said “I hope you have lots of relaxation and reading and naps. You need a rest.” He was right. I needed a big rest, and I’m finally feeling like I might be ready to go back to work.

I only have 3 days left of spring break. I’m very sad about that.

Back when I cheered for the Oilers, I would often say that they were an injury away from calamity. Well. Time is a flat circle over here too, I guess.

Which Canadian political party is going to ban LED headlights? They would have my vote in an instant

I had an appointment, then went to get a coffee. The barista asked what my plans were and I said “I’m going home to read a book.” She said “enjoy your nap” I felt very seen.

I spent the whole day yesterday with my folks. They’ve been married for 51 years, and listening to them chat about the stuff they need to do this week while I was trying to nap is one of my favourite things. I don’t usually get to see them during the day, so that was a treat for me.

HUBERDEAU SO HOT RIGHT NOW

I’m on spring break, which means that we have 3 months of school left. This has been, hands down, the hardest year and I am so glad to have some respite.

I know he didn’t score but HUBERDEAU SO HOT RIGHT NOW

I am in the middle of the most JUVENILE work drama (the Eagles boy is also involved) and I just want to walk into the ocean.

I bought 12oz of fresh raspberries today for $4, and I ate them all and I am so glad that I don’t have kids because I’d have to share

In light of recent events, Aaron Judge is now the greatest number 99 in sports history. cc: @mig14.bsky.social

(Belated) HUBERDEAU SO HOT RIGHT NOW

I want three things: 1) a trip to somewhere warm and sunny 2) a long hug from someone taller than me 3) to sleep for 87 days

First and only McDavid goal I’ll ever cheer for

I’ve always loved Bennett.
