Cancer Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Turns out I broke the tooth, so they had to extract it. About to take my first narcotic in 40+ years... the last time I had teeth extracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm still not getting the answers I need. That's stressing me out. The stress and the lack of info have me making decisions that are costing me. That makes me even more stressed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good that you got it working again. Sometimes I just use my phone to scan docs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I try not to go that route if I can help it, because I hate it when my students do it. Half the time I can't read what they submit. Under current conditions, though, sometimes that's all that's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I just read an article in the local paper (online) stating that teachers in my district are getting a cost-of-living raise next year. The VERY FIRST comment on the story was some jackwagon mouthing off about how nice it must be to get paid that much to do nine months of work, and wondering if the bad teachers got paid as much as the good teachers. You know what, buddy? If you think teachers get paid too much, then by all means keep your kids home in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm having problems with payroll and with unemployment benefits.Of course, I can't seem to fix anything. This is Easter.

Hermit Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 At times I really wish folks would just let me be myself without trying to tell me how I'm being me wrong. aylwin13 and tkdguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Housemate's mother has been spoiling for a fight all #$#$#ing week it seems with anyone. I know part of it is she's stir crazy that NONE of us are really going out and about much. Guess what, lady, we're stuck here with you too a lot and it's not fun since you treat everyone like @#$#. Let's just say she's found a new way to try to take more away from people. I know part of it is dementia... a part of it is boredom... but I swear part of it is just her being a narcissistic harridan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
