Claire’s Adventures in Late Adolescent Ennui (Part 4)

...up for an Arts-Science degree, the Arts major being philosophy, a subject I had long desired to study, and the Science being physics, for the sake of quantum craziness and some measure of employability. However, physics required the pre-requisite of TEE calculus, when I had only studied applicable maths, yet another of its pre-requisites. Declan was in the same position, but he had a neat solution...

... make it to the junior high to our north on time. My assignment today was to take the place of the "employability skills" teacher. (I have no idea what "employability skills" means in this context, but it looked like the class was devoted to giving students a leg up in marketing themselves to future employers...

... what I’m doing half the time. The course has been built into a three-year project being carried out by one teacher, so I have to maintain the trajectory she is headed in with these employability binders she started with the students in grade nine. Except I have zero familiarity with the project and mostly spend my time floundering and the students know it. Also, there are four boys who talk ALL ...

.... I think that alternating Spanish/English days would be the most practical solution. It's probably the better thing to do for the students. It makes them think harder, will increase their employability (which is already suspect for our nonhuman students) and will be wonderful for the out-of-country students we get, most of whom arrive traumatized and are only further distressed by the language ...

...Therapist / psychologist mesh: You'll need a psychologist to prescribe the drugs. I definitely recommend shopping around until you have one whom you both like and trust. This might take a while but is worth the effort. * Employability: Just keep it in mind. Most jobs won't be able to discriminate against you, but some -- e.g. Peace Corps -- are free to do so, and might very well do so. (Let me...

I'm gonna BS my way through it and say "I would like to take advantage of any and all learning/training opportunities in order to maximize my usefulness/productivity, as well as increase my employability." lol. I've been seeing my workplace crush a lot lately. He and I seem to take our health breaks at around the same time (10:30/10:45-ish; 3:00-ish). And he seems to take...

Most wrestle with fear of the pain, others with fear of judgment, some with fear of a decrease in employability, many with a simple fear of the needle. Personally, if she were someone else, she wouldn’t be the one she’d go to. But that’s probably because she knows herself too well. She suffers from a ...

But okay, I can try it, I can--being flexible may help increase knowledge, employability, etc. However, if you tell me we have a "live port" and a "static IP" already, then when it comes time to tell the guy giving the demonstration and we don't?
