Work, Covid, Teachers and Parents: The Teaching Life

The Teaching Life

By Anonymous - 28/03/2021 19:59 - United States - San Jose

Today, being incredibly ill after my second COVID shot, I called in sick for maybe the third time in 10 years (I teach). That didn’t stop parents from calling and messaging to scream at me because they weren’t happy. I had to drag myself out of bed and do work in between throwing up. I feel even worse now. FML

Today, at a science-fiction convention, a woman came up to me and told me that my white face paint was a mess, my contacts looked cheap, and my costume was an all-round failure. I wasn't wearing a costume, I'm an albino. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were cuddling on the couch. He held a Kool Fruit in his teeth, and motioned for me to kiss him, so he could put it in my mouth. Just as he was about to do this, I inhaled. He then had to watch me dry retching, trying to get it back up. FML

Today, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. FML

thats awful, I take it you're doing online? I know where we are, any time the teachers can't do a Google meet with the kids they just post some work for the kids to do on their own in their virtual classroom, usually something that doesn't have a deadline but will keep them busy. I hope you feel better soon!

Not to get on your case too much, but you should have fully expected that 2nd shot to make you feel pretty ill. It's a well documented side effect most people with healthy immune systems will experience.
