Teaching (business) professor by employment, but really just wants to pursue my hobbies and sleep a lot.
Will nag you to wear sunblock 🧴🇨🇦
Oooh you have me intrigued. I haven’t started it yet, but I will now. Thanks! 🙏

I’m about to be 50 and I’m always excited when I get a new LEGO floral kit. Lately, I’ve been focusing on Autumn coloured ones for my office at work. I absolutely love how the floral arrangements look and I enjoy the assembling phase so much too!
Anyone who doesn’t get our hobby is weird. Facts!

That’s awesome!! 👏
Let’s face it, marking is the worst part of our jobs for too many reason to list that could fit in this post.
That’s awesome progress and I’m pleased for you!! 👏

So not only is your healthcare determined by your employer but your pay for national holidays, too?
Jeepers. That sucks.

Hahaha I refer to those movies the same way because I’m so short too. Or at least short in comparison to everyone around me.
I guess that means my husband must look like a bald Aragorn since he’s tall, thin, and fit. 🤣

Do they have to use their annual vacation days for this or are they additional vacation days, separate from annual, like we do in Canada?

I loved, loved being a librarian. But when we moved provinces, I couldn’t get a job as one. The job market was just too tight. So I switched to being a business prof.
The librarian job market is even worse now than 2016.
But Canada is a diff country and job market.

I hope it’s okay to ask: What other diets have you tried?
I’m asking because I’m curious to hear for myself. Please know I’m not trying to recommend anything. I’m simply curious. I’ll see cookbooks like lectin-free at the library, but I don’t know anyone who has tried these diets.
Thanks! 🙏

Or none of this and go for accounting. The industry has already shrank thanks to software like Quickbooks, so it should be fine as AI replaces some workers.
Plus, no company or client wants their stuff being plugged into AI and their data going everywhere, so folks will still want humans.

Don’t go for library science. That’s my first masters. The job market, at least in Canada, has been stagnant for 25 years. No new positions created in this time. Yet Cdn programs graduating 100s every year to compete for a tiny handful of jobs when someone finally retires.

How about creative non-fiction???

I’m not actually joking. As a nerd, I’d be documenting all this learning to then apply for a Prior Learning Assessment for a degree.

You’re going to end up with a degree in Food Science at this rate!

Nice! The public library has it. I’ve put a Hold on it.
November 28, 2025 at 2:49 AM
Yes!!! I’m deep into reading the scholarship on how harmful marks are for students, and this sounds like it matches. I’ll check it out!!
November 28, 2025 at 2:49 AM
lol I am! It’s the only one on this list I’ve read already though.
I didn’t specialize in leadership for my PhD, but in innovation. I mainly teach HRM and research courses because that’s the work available.

Thank you for explaining. 🙏
It sounds so hard!
I’ve glanced through the anti-inflammatory diet cookbooks at the public library and, as an outsider, it looks to me as an incredibly detailed way of approaching one’s diet. So very tough!
Bodies can be so frustrating!!
