Hi fellow teacher 👋

For context, NCBI is the National Council for the Blind of Ireland. It’s an NGO.

“MY WIFE LEFT ME BECAUSE I THINK A BURRITO IS A TYPE OF SANDWICH”

It’s hard work but someone’s gotta do it

Definitely one of my better mornings :)

Aren’t the birds lovely,

Singing their hearts out?

There’s something really relaxing about this one. I love it.

Best of luck with the job hunt!

I recommend looking up the STAR method for answering competency based questions (eg tell us about a time you worked with a difficult customer). The best thing is the stories don’t even have to be true! As long as they sort of match up with your experience and follow the STAR method you’ll go far.

Also applying to jobs these days is a really long slog. Remember to take frequent breaks! And do not take any rejection personally. Easier said than done I know! Try to think of it as a numbers game. Your goal is to throw as many resumes as possible out into the ether. One of them is bound to boomerang back with a job offer.

You’ll do great!

Seconding the positive vibe of beehaw! I posted about a relationship quandary yesterday and the replies were so respectful. I’ve deleted online personal questions before because of how aggressive people have been, but here everyone was really kind, even when disagreeing. It actually cheered me up a lot. I’m very grateful for that.

I’m sorry to say that this is indeed a true story, obviously heavily edited to remove any identifying features of the parties involved.

I do have an update for you all! When we woke up, I didn’t want to talk about the phone situation so I just casually dropped burritos into a conversation earlier, waited a while, then asked them to be honest about where they had gone the night before. They came clean about the free burrito. From what I can gather, it sounded like a shameful stress induced feast that they didn’t want to reveal to me. I’ve had similar issues in the past and boy do I empathise. I told them to either be more open in the future or at least get better at hiding it 🤣 my heart can’t take any more secret burrito rendezvous.

A genuine thanks for all the comments, there has been some really heartfelt advice here 🥰 I’m not saying either of us acted perfectly in this situation and it is nice to be able to talk about it anonymously with all you lovely people.

Sims 2 for life!! The subreddit was very active, I’m hoping those redditors move over here :)

Oh he’s gorgeous

Feelings were things women had. Alice was a woman. Therefore she had feelings. Her feelings told her to shout at Bob. She thought about it for an moment, and then shouted at Bob. Angrily. Very angrily. She said “Because my feelings are telling me to say this.”

Incredible

Belly belly belly belly belly belly belly

Oh my GOODNESS

They fucking love calzones too hahahaa. Thanks for this thread guys, I am seeing the funny side to it all! Relationships are hard, at least they’re funny sometimes to make up for it

Divorce it is so 🤣

Yeah fuck thank you for commenting this because you’re dead right about that last point. I felt possessed, I needed to know what was happening because I just knew they were lying. But going through their phone isn’t a trustworthy way of verifying that.

As I mentioned below, I am SO relieved that it was a burrito and nothing else. I just find the lying so weird.

They’re the one who complains about me ordering fast food too! Maybe that’s why they hid it, so they wouldn’t seem hypocritical??
