I don't know, but I'm sure you're a good teacher and know when a teenager needs their tongue removed. I can't, still have a little work to finish and then there's a team-building event later in the afternoon. In other news, this conversation happened and I can't decide if it makes me ashamed or proud. It mostly makes me laugh. I make the worst jokes these days and I laugh at myself. I need sleep. Friend: RhaeB, you are that person who goes to Starbucks with her laptop and works from there, right? Me: no, I'm that person who meets the house painter at 7am, then goes to Starbucks to pass out for two hours till stores open and she can go shopping.

I hope at least you get a weekend. Why is that? I mean what makes you think you aren't a good teacher? From what I gather you put a lot of time and effort into preparing your classes and enjoy working with (grownup) students. That's kinda the foundation of being a good teacher, isn't it?

I hope so, otherwise that's really rude of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really rude and not professional at all. I can totally understand why you feel frustrated. One would think that a language school gives you space to develop your own style of teaching while providing guidance, instead of pinning you down to a strict "that's how you do it". :/ oh hey, it's been like three years since I had conjunctivitis, missed it so much. No I didn't. And of course, this happens just the day after I run out of camomile tea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean towards this explanation. And fwiw I found the second book even worse than the first for this stuff. It is, after all, the book containing the infamous ninja fairy sex... Yeahhhh I hated them honestly. Didn’t like any of the characters except maybe one or two. been reading the Farseer trilogy and mostly loving it im sure you’re a fine teacher Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what that is and too lazy to google, but get better. That doesn't justify being rude. Wanting you to do better and not making you feel like you are crap aren't mutually exclusive. And I'm sure you are the easiest person to motivate too because you are dedicated and hardworking, so I don't see why it's necessary to make you feel bad about your teaching. As Mark said, I'm sure you are a fine teacher too. Pinkeye. A type of inflammation of the eye. In the meanwhile I got an inflamed ear too, so I'm literally just lying on the sofa and sleeping through the weekend. I'll go and see adoctor tomorrow. This is really unfair because that's not how I planned to spend the weekend, I have a ton of shit to do, and I'm feeling too crappy to do them, plus, I'm kinda scared of getting more bacteria/chemicals/dust into my eye/ear so I also don't want to push it. Well that was happy and positive wasn't it? I've been binging The Good Place... it's actually kinda entertaining, very nice character building, fun twists that make sense, likable character, marvellous British accent lessons. The plot is a bit of a bumpy road in season 2, but it seems to be picking up. Also watched the new Jane the Virgin episode. Wasn't a huge fan of that, but we'll see how the rest of the season goes. Also it's 25C outside. I'm inside, but the idea is outrageous in itself. Also, sister sent me the cutest pictures of Prince William he is such a sweet dog, I miss him so much. And it kinda makes me want to have a puppy here. Maybe next year I'll get a puppy, that would be amazing. I would either get A: corgi puppy named Henry VII B: dachshund puppy named Otto (von Bismarck) C: adopted mutt puppy named whatever historical figure fits him or her. That was a lot of nonsensical ramble for one post. @The King in Black I've been fine. How about you? Update please! Nice to see you around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your life going, consul? That makes me excited. Is there like a recommended reading order for Hobbs series or should I just read in publication order. Working to improve is always good but don’t be too hard on yourself. Life is well... going one day at a time, thanks for asking. Feel better Rhae.

I read Liveship first because they're the first ones I saw (and yeah they are the best.) but there's stuff in there you would only pick up if you;d read the Fitz stuff first. Though before too long you may start to notice a pattern as regards antagonists... But good luck when you get to the rainwild series. Urgh.

As Mark said, I'm sure you are a fine teacher too. I do not think they are being rude. I am a person who takes things way too personally for business life. I try to tell myself it is not personal and that I have to learn to be professional. Cannot really say I am dedicated to teaching. I do it, yes, and I do not hate it, I would say I enjoy it as much as one can be expected to "enjoy" work. But it is not what would be my first choice. 3 hours ago, RhaenysB said: Pinkeye.

Hide contents Regal is already my least favorite part of this trilogy, dont find him compelling or interesting as an antagonist to Fitz at all so kinda disappointing to hear that Spoiler Yeah frankly he's just a plot point. Some of the villains are a little one dimensional. The Chalceadean's pretty much begin and end at: Rapists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
