Oh, cool! That’s always fun, super busy and totally necessary! You’re the heart of the school, and I hope you love every second of it!

You’ll be fine. Those positions usually tend to be more file keeping than anything else. As long as you can multi-task, you should be fine. Good luck.

Oooh, support staff is wonderfully helpful and can offer such a great opportunity to form bonds with students. Do you know the subject matter and/or age group you will be supporting?

I’ve been in education for a while. What type of position are we talking about?

Congratulations!

Omg my dream came true and my kid asked for a Harry Potter birthday party. I am already shopping and making shit. The challenge is to not go to crazy so that I don’t spend a gazillion dollars. Butterbeer! Potions class! Backyard quidditch pitch! Omg.

Yup, only a creep of the highest degree would date like this. I would slap some sense into any friend of mine who did something so creepy and probably illegal. Seriously, what kind of pathetic manchild tries to date a 16 year old?

ok

But whats wrong with these guys? Can’t they date women their own age?

I hear what you’re saying, but beneath the success and beauty, your friend was still a kid. Sounds like she was dealing pretty well, but as a 15 year old, your first experience with romance and relationships should not be with someone a decade your senior. All the professional experience in the world doesn’t magically…

OK, 2nd comment that can be interpreted as fat shaming. Mama June may have money now, but my understanding is that she was poor and uneducated for a lot of if not most of her life. There’s a direct connection between poverty and obesity. Add however many pregnancies (4?) and yes, she got big and sloppy looking. There…

I have 3 girls.

You’re so kind.

Why did they take it so personally?

I feel ya

This is left field, ok?

Yeah, that was way too much notice. There’s a reason it’s called “two weeks”. Two weeks is enough time, even in such a personal field, to find someone new.

Arts and crafts peoples of Jezebel, what are your current projects? Ideas you’re excited about? Works in progress or past favorites? I’m starving for conversations with my fellow makers of things pretty or useful (or sometimes neither but failure is an important intermediate part of success.)
