I've noticed WAY more bots &spam accounts in threads which sucks. I've had a go with Threads and it's really dead, I don't get it, so I'm back here for a quick look around. It was full of dickheads when I left a while back and so I hope they don't come looking for a scrap here

Ok, I've logged back into this godforsaken app to see what's happening, and see whether anyone I used to interact with on here is still around!

Seems like Germany are pulling away a bit, but still no goals. It's not a particularly tidy game. #nedger #UWNL

This #NEDGER game is... Something. Pretty even match up which is resulting in not much happening either side. A lot of give away and take away! #nationsleague #woso

@MaggieMrphy I have, but it only works half the time. I have no idea what it was about the times it did work, to give me any answers about how to do it again! Currently trying to get it to cast now with zero luck.

Has anyone ever successfully cast the FA Player to TV? (I've got an android phone and Roku/Now TV).

@SaysMiss Lower teaching load and more dott, more time allocated to student services roles.

Ex teachers: what would be the most significant incentive for you to consider a return to teaching?

@deliciouslybad Mine is Scotch whiskey. I ASKED for bourbon but the teenage boy I sent to get my booze (his patchy beard meant he wouldn't get ID'ed) didn't know the difference and now scotch is ruined for me after I drank most of it and fell asleep on some rocks...

Hey Gen Xers... What was the alcohol that nearly killed you when you were 14, that you still can't even stand to smell now, even though you're in your 40s, and why is it Southern Comfort?

Um, big sandwich night sounds EXCELLENT

@freocookster @freodockers Omg I loved him when I was a kid. My favourite number is still 15 as a result of his time at the Dockers!

So @freodockers, remember this young fella? When he was drafted I made sure he featured on the front page of the Maroondah Post where I was a journo at the time. A good Ringwood lad. That's even my scarf in the photo! #foreverfreo

@JaneyHurley We aren't taking anything! I feel like getting sick once was normal, then we got covid and that was to be expected but now the third time I'm like wtf c'mon!! Maybe I should look into vit D

@jaxstar84 You will be unstoppable! Are you guys taking vitamin D? Might be worth a shot

I'm sick AGAIN and I can totally see how the plague wiped out half of Europe cos honestly, this dense population shit is doing me no favours. I rarely got sick before. 3rd time in like 5 months. Over it.

So today marks 4 weeks since I started my new job outside of teaching. I just wanted to share some thoughts on how I am feeling about life post teaching. This post is mostly targeted for those who are considering leaving teaching.

@bill_summer @jacobjamesgeog It's a starting point though. Teachers are unhappy in their job but love parts of it and are scared to leave because they'll miss the parts they love. Knowing that it can start out well is important. Other people (me) can also confirm that a year later it's still good.

@jacobjamesgeog Four weeks into a job is too early to be confident you're going to be happy there. Or ANYWHERE, for that matter.

@Life_of_Pia I've heard that before, but I want it to be wrong haha. This is my first time sick post covid so fingers crossed it doesn't happen too many more times!

@xvilo @ABNAMRO Eh, we're getting credit cards with someone else and do our international transactions through Wise now. We'll be moving banks at some stage as we'd actually like to be able to spend some of our money.

@ABNAMRO @jaxstar84 Just a month right, time is ticking….

@ABNAMRO hey team - when are you switching your Maestro cards to MasterCard? It's getting real old real quick, not being able to use my card online outside of the Netherlands...

@Life_of_Pia Yeah, it's now something that I've become aware of. Though I've been in busy areas and not gotten sick more than I've gotten sick! But I've gotten sick more often here than I did at home so 🤷‍♀️

@JaneyHurley Life is good here though - we both like our jobs, how much we can travel, the pets are happy etc it's good! Some things to get used to still but the good/adventure outweighs the bad!

@jaxstar84 Oh no! When I started work in Perth I got sick over and over again, I think it was all new bugs to me and I had to get them all once. Hopefully the summer will be better for you! How’s life going in the NL?

The picnic I had today was pretty epic.
