Former job trying me

I was hired as a permanent substitute teacher. I do not have a license to teach nor a bachelor's degree. But I was put in charge of teaching an 8th grade science class. During this time I made some mistakes that I was not aware of and each time I always reached out if I was unsure of something. I was recently terminated from my job for allegedly talking to children about sexual stuff (only stuff i talked to them about is to please use protection as i didnt want any of them to be teenage parents), letting students draw sexual graffiti on my white board, hitting students and encouraging others hit, bribing students to keep said behavior quiet, and talking about other teachers. Now most of this I can argue is incorrect and false. I was alerted to my termination from a student who found my personal social media…

Switched to per diem after 2 week notice, being marked sick for previous shifts?

I recently went from part time to PRN at my hospital job. I started a new job and was originally going to quit my previous one, but decided to stay PRN as I still enjoy all my coworkers and don’t want to shut the door to that job yet. I had put in a 2 week notice to originally leave my job permanently, following that 2 weeks notice is when I signed the paperwork to remain PRN. I was told the status was effective 3/26, but was still told to come in for my shift 3/27, which I did. We schedule in 6 week blocks starting 45 days before the schedule begins, so when I transitioned from part time to PRN, there was still 4 weeks of part time days I was on schedule for. I was originally told that as long as I fulfilled 4 days in the rest…

Queensryche had it right

There is a revolution that has been calling everyone in this country for over 30 years and nobody had heeded that call. They correctly predicted state controlled media and the assault of corporations against the american people. When are we going to wake up as a country and take it back for the people. Down with citizen united and the conglomerate controlled media.

Stop your whining. Everyone can become wealthy and stop working by the age of 50. They just have to try.

Look my family was poor. We had just a tiny house until I was like 6 or 7. Then my parents inherited some land from my grandparents that died and we upgraded to a slightly bigger House. Money was still tight – I got lucky to get a scholarship though Football but still had to work a part time job throughout summer to get through College. I also had to help in the family business since age 17. With their inheritance my parents build a few houses and appartments and started renting them. I still couldnt afford my own house until I was 25 – money was allways tight. Then came the dot com crash and the recession of 2008 that almost ruined us. But because we were smart and hard working we prevailed. We just raised prices from 600/month to 1000/month and still barely made it. I never inherited…
