There are a few classes that write their tests/essays the week before Christmas, so there will be stuff to grade then too. The German word Blätterteig is also basically leafy dough. And yup, they were good! How long have you been at this job? Is there a chance it is going to get better once you get used to it more? Is it that long? Only 3 weeks not counting the current one. At least that’s my comfort Little over a year. I can either stay long enough to resocialize to it to leave before it changes me and I do prefer that latter route. Still, for the next year at least, I’ll stick around for the stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that’s my comfort This is crazy talk. It looks like 5 weeks to me. Yes, I am definitely including the current one, because it is one of the busiest in my year. I have only just turned off my work laptop 10 minutes ago, and it is past 10 PM here. Yesterday was about the same. I expect the situation won't calm down until the weekend. Sometimes things just pile up all at the same time. On the bright side, a friend called me earlier and we had a short talk on the phone. We haven't seen each other in ages and it was a really lovely surprise to hear from her. 12 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: Little over a year.

Stability is good. I see it in my work too. I don't see myself staying in education on this level my whole life, but I think it would make sense to stay here for at least a few years. 6 hours ago, First of My Name said: Ooh, I'm not liking the new forum update, I miss the old red.

Hi Overall I'm really good, just coming out of a few days of quarantine because a roommate tested positive. But I'm having a lot of fun with my friends and roommates, work has been great, and I'm getting ready to start writing my thesis. I'm even dating someone and while it's still in an early stage I'm starting to feel some butterflies. So overall, pretty awesome. One anoying thing is that I found out I'm severely allergic to gluten, which I've been eating and drinking every day for forever. But I'm on the diet now and it's supposed to make me feel less tired all the time, though I'm not noticing any changes yet. How have the two of you been? I haven't been keeping up on the thread.

Uhhhh a quarantine with a covid-positive roommate sounds like no fun. Did anybody else in the same household get infected? What do you do for work now? And congratulations on dating! I have had an extremely busy week, hopefully the next few weeks are slightly less stressful, but we will see - there is still a lot to do. And hybrid teaching sucks so bad. Now I am on here to start the annual holiday thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am on here to start the annual holiday thread! None of us got the virus too, fortunately. I'm a bartender at a theater, and I'm dabbling into helping to organize events there now as well. It's just a side job but loads of fun. Does hybrid mean half online, half in real life? I hope it gets less stressful soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, this is exactly what it means. It is not like teaching at all. You cannot do anything right either for the ones present in school or the ones virtually present. It is terrible.

I baked a Christmas cake this weekend. Smells good, but I have to pour alcohol over it for a few weeks before we can start eating it. If you are a fan of cheese, then you should try eating said Xmas cake with a slice of cheese. Something like Cheddar. - This is traditional in parts of the UK. and according to my family the only way fruit cake should be eaten. Yes it sounds freaky weird.

Yeah, we've had to cancel or postpone a lot of things, so I hardly have any shifts atm. Fortunately I'm still a student and not completely dependent on that income. I'm on the other side of the screen/classroom, but yeah, I always feel bad for the teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And theoretically still better than all of them being online. Although I am not so sure anymore, after a few hybrid lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
