I have cr 8 (making something new).. is there another cr 8?

Yes, Dee - cr 8 /55 - a cockatoo has a yellow one - make gerund

Doing a bit every day and still having time to do lots of other stuff is really good, rose.

yeah, liz, i know. and that is exactly what i am going to do....lol
2:04 am
VolleymomDee

I had to start a round of prednisone; today was my last high dose day - 1st time in months I had 4 hours consecutively with no pain - ran 3 hours of errands by myself... you would have thought I had won a million bucks.. I know it's short-lived, but it was sure nice to have that freedom and be able to actually finish things on my to do list. So I know how you feel, rose.
2:05 am
Lizlin

happy that you had a good day, Dee. Hope you have many more.
2:05 am

yay, dee. but please don't over do it, hun. or you will pay for it.

Thanks, Liz, that would sure be a blessing. True, Rose, but hoping to at least get some things done while the prednisone lasts. May have to talk with doc about another round when this is gone... we'll see.
2:07 am
grannyrose

you are fortunate. i don't have that avenue open to me because of the surgery. it takes up to 2 years before the bone is fully healed.

It helps to pause looking for it

Rose, sorry to hear what new level your ex employer has sunk to. Hope they get what's coming to them. I am glad you can allow your body to heal now though.
2:23 am
rururocks

What new level?
2:23 am
grannyrose

ruru, i was fired last wednesday
2:24 am
VolleymomDee

Rose, is there any way that decision will be reversed?

Oh get outta here are they that dumb
2:25 am
grannyrose

no dee, i don't think so. i can only hope to get back workcover payments of ongoing costs.
2:25 am
ChrissieDee

Unbelievable isn't it
2:25 am
VolleymomDee

On what grounds did they make that decision? After all of the extra hours and shifts you have worked, their actions are heinous.
2:26 am
grannyrose

ruru, our new workcover law says if an employee cannot return to their original duties and hours after 52 weeks the employer is allowed to fire them. but my emploter didn't use that tack.
2:26 am
ChrissieDee

How the heck can they sack someone for being incapacitated by an injury caused by their negligence
2:26 am
grannyrose

they said my other health issues made it unsafe for me to be at work.
2:27 am
VolleymomDee

Pretty idiotic
2:28 am
grannyrose

this decision was based on my last IME( independent medical exam), which says on one page that i now have a permanent disability in my knee, and then in the summary, says, the compensible injury has run its course.
2:28 am
rururocks

But you did come back and injured yourself
2:29 am
grannyrose

i know, dee. i had these other issues before i fell, and i was working fine. nah, they just want to replace me with cheaper labour...i am at the uppermost end of the pay ladder.
2:29 am
ChrissieDee

Hope your lawyer is the best
2:30 am
grannyrose

oh, he is, and the union rep is fantastic. this should be fun to see.
2:30 am
VolleymomDee

Truly hope your lawyer can find the loophole in their decision. As Chrissie said, what about their negligence?
2:30 am
grannyrose

i think that comes under the pain and suffering umbrella, dee.
2:30 am
VolleymomDee

They should have to discontinue the position and not refill it with anyone, if you can't resume your job.
2:31 am
VolleymomDee

Seems pretty underhanded to me.
2:32 am
ChrissieDee

They should take their job and shove it where the sun don't shine. You must make your health the priority now rose

i am so proud of your younger bro'. he was very restrained and called them bloody buggers....lol
4:02 am
grannyrose

oh, wow!!! worzel, i am so proud of you...well done.
4:02 am
worzel

that's not the kind of language i would associate with me (lol yea right - I'd have called them a lot worse!)
4:03 am
worzel

I've tried giving up in the past on several occasions with varying amounts of success, but somehow I feel this time it's permanent. People say your taste comes back but all I can taste when I eat is salt for some reason!
4:03 am
grannyrose

worzel, he has grown this huge black beard. when i saw him last i asked him where he had left his camel.
4:04 am
worzel

huge black beard eh? should we be worried?? has he taken to the quran??
4:04 am
grannyrose

yes, mate, that is the first flavour to return...after that is the sugar...
4:04 am
worzel

mind you, i should be careful with a comment like that - i could get a fatwah taken out on me!!
4:05 am

Mum have you heard from pug lately? I emailed her last night (she probably won't have read it yet because of the time difference). Hope she's ok
4:05 am

4:09 am

yes, mate. sorry, i had to dash. gut still churned due to shock and stress from last wednesday.

pugs has gone to look for somewhere for her sister to be cared for. she was going to be gone a few days.
4:11 am
grannyrose

also, she is sleeping better and later...no surprises there...now that W is out of the house.
4:12 am
worzel

Oh ok that's cool. As long as she's ok and is definitely going to rid herself of the monster. You hear lots about ladies that live with totals shitehawks and keep saying they'll leave and never do. I hope she does for her own sake
4:13 am
grannyrose

* grin * worzel, the house is hers....W is the one who has to leave.
4:13 am
worzel

Good girl!
4:15 am
grannyrose

yeah, he moved out about 2 weeks ago, i think. hence her changed sleeping pattern. i am so proud of her for taking the stance she has. it wasn't easy for her.
4:17 am
gapeach

I'm sorry for interrupting.....just need to ask, is pr10-91 related to the pr5-12 above it? Thanks much.
4:17 am
worzel

i bet it wasn't. I think, as a man, it's more difficult for me to understand how a woman can stay with a man like that. I appreciate it's not just women that suffer, too. Fear is a very powerful emotion, I guess, and the fear of going it alone, coupled with the stupid notion of thinking someone can change - well, a very powerful combination. I'm just glad she got the impetus up to leave him!

will leave you both to babble quietly. xoxox
5:19 am

I reckon the difficulty/easiness of a grid depends entirely on the way your brain works. Theres probably a thesis or so to be done on it. I've struggled like crazy in the past on grid taht everyone says are easyt, and then whizzed thru others that people say are hard in a few mins.

when I lived in NY state, every year, they would issue hunting permits for as many of each sex as was necessary to keep the population down to a manageable level

I am a para and ABA person for a 7th and 8th grade special needs class
10:09 am
wvteach

what is ABA
10:11 am
wvteach

was in special education for many years - starting with the severe and profound, deaf and hearing impaired, LD, mentally impaired, and finally gifted
10:12 am
Trifioso

wow.
10:12 am
Trifioso

ABA is Applied Behavior Analysis....I think Skinner started it. It's like any other approach - it works for who it works for
10:12 am
wvteach

enjoyed each one while i was doing it
10:13 am
wvteach

in college actually met Skinner and was trained in Skinnerian psychology
10:13 am
Trifioso

Its a good approach for my Down's student - a lot of repetition, which she REALLY needs.
10:13 am
wvteach

in college we used pigeon for the first year and then worked in the child study center
10:14 am
Trifioso

Im late to this game, having worked in other areas of education before this, so it's been a really challenging learning curve for me.
10:14 am

I previously worked as a clinician at a reading support facility

other than my first student teaching, i have always been in special ed classes

You are a goddess
10:16 am

not really - that is what i wanted to do
10:16 am
Trifioso

I have to say, I like the students I work with, but the teachers at my school are, for the most part, the cattiest bunch of b*tches I have ever met.
10:17 am
Trifioso

The students are in seventh grade, but the women I work with are the ones acting like mean girls. I am embarrassed for them
10:17 am
wvteach

that makes it hard - i loved working with the teachers in the last school i was in, but now there is a change in principals and the whole atmosphere of the faculty has changed - the leadership can set the tone for the school
10:18 am
Trifioso

PREACH
10:18 am
Trifioso

I like our principal, but she is new, and half of the staff hates her, and half loves her, and it's all "whose team are you on?" and I have no patience for their nonsense
10:18 am
Trifioso

I'm on the student's team.Period.
10:19 am

unfortunately my granddaughhter now attends that school and i worry about what is happening

i was never a part of the union here - they were not supportive at all of the concerns of special ed - and i had no respect for their leadership

I don't go to the meetings and stuff. But I had to join, so I did. Some of the women in the school cling to the union rules like you would not believe and its a right pain in me arse. I like to leave every day with a tidy desk. If this keeps me past our dismissal time, then so be it. But they HATE IT when I stay there late....what is that to them?
10:24 am

... they're argument is if there isn't enough time to get the work done in the regular hours and then you stay for free that you're taking a job away from someone else ... ... don't necessarily buy it .. but that's the argument

some people justy work at a differnt pace and want to do their own thing in their own way - i don't want a union to tell me what i should do on my job

i would close my door and eat lunch in my room so as not to go to the Teachers Lounge
10:27 am
doseffing

... it's the nature of the work ... you can't take a breather because there's some kid who needs your help at every moment ... the moment that you pause will be the moment that disaster strikes ... that's one cause of so much burn out

I am also disappointed in how often the students lose out to union rules. Example: My student really needs someone to walk her off the van every day, and lead her to homeroom. But my contract doesn't allow me to start before 7:25 each day, so they WILL NOT allow me to walk her to homeroom, which starts at 7:15. I think that is ridiculous. What difference could the 10 minutes actually make? I want to help my student, and work with her consistently. It's so stupid

so, if the child is getting off the bus at 07:20 am, the unions says you have to let her fall and crack her head open while you watch?? Idiocy!
10:31 am
doseffing

... that's the problem with rules ... they're supposed to be the best practice but if the environment changes you're stuck with the old rules unless everyone agrees to change them ... starting at 7:30 makes sense when the bus doesn't arrive until 7:40 ... but when the bus driver starts arriving at 7:20 you've got to change the rule and that means bargaining and somebody has to pay ... and if it's not the parents or the board or the workers ... itis going to be the kids

... I agree ... but mamagment probably bargained for a 7#0 start time years ago because they wanted everyone to be on time and start working .... ... now that they want the work to start earlier they've got to renegotiate the rule ... ... if you're going to have rules, then you're stuck with them ... and if they must be changed then you've got to negotiate a change ... ... if that's the environment that has been established then unfortunately you're stuck ... don't necessarily like it but changing environments is not easy ... and we all want easy
