Another Show
By Andrea Menzies
Wow I can’t understand how another show is gone. Their arguments are so weak they cannot withstand any debate? I am not a Disney Plus subscriber, but now I am NEVER going to be after this crap.
A good point.

Month 3
By Andrea Menzies
This week I had a fight with teacher HR as it marks the 3rd month I had no pay at all. My daughter has a birthday this week I had to borrow gift money. I have been working for days since August, and they are not going to pay me until October 1st. They did not answer my first 8 emails or calls. They do not do this to permanent teachers, and it is just one of the nightmares they inflict on subs. I officially put in applications for hundreds of jobs after getting off the phone. Some jobs pay you weekly, and this one pays you if and when they feel like it maybe someday. How can you pay rent with that? When they did this stuff around the time of the pandemic they had an excuse, but they are still doing it yet they don’t have an excuse anymore.

Event Over
By Andrea Menzies
The online cycling event is done thanks for the help from the other bikes. I made it to 7 miles and a top rank. To participate in a Garmin event log an activity. Then go to the event link on the phone app. There are three dots in the upper right of the corner press link activity to participate. I used to love the step counter Fitbit, but after Google bought it it went to the pits. Garmin in contrast has step counters with GPS, and my review is it is better for cycling. I have made the switch to Garmin now for the new badges and fun groups with online races.

Saving For Moving
By Andrea Menzies
I am still saving my change in the piggy bank for a move far from Virginia. I managed to switch away from the horrible job assignment I worked at Bird High where a kid was bleeding all over his desk, and they refused to report it or move him. I managed not to get hit by ear blood, but it was a near miss. I had just freshly watched the blood-born pathogen video. One of the reasons they make teachers watch it every year is because blood is an issue in classrooms, and even smart co-workers have made mistakes with it. The whole thing makes me want to move very far from Virginia. I never had issues with co-workers refusing to obey regulations in Texas schools when I taught there for years. Every tiny thing is a living nightmare for me since I was dragged to the state I hate called Virginia. I should have never let my family talk me into the move it has been a horrible experience every day.

Udemy Classes
By Andrea Menzies
This week I am obsessed with Udemy classes. I am still going back to get my grad school degree. However classes are full and I have to wait a couple of months to start class. The Udemy platform lets you explore online school topics for not too much cash. Many other classrooms are online, but this is one of the few with discounts and quality. My job has not paid me anything this year yet, but when I get paid I am so taking classes.
