Looks interesting. It's also being used to treat migraines - I'd like to look in to that one, mine are becoming much more frequent. We have a plastic surgeon that uses it, but I suspect my insurance won't cover his treatment. We're getting a new doc whose specialty is pain management, and I'd like to investigate it with him when he get here.

Stress, what stress??

Post by k9Karen »

What you guys talking about, their's no stress in my life. We're due for inspection any day now and every time I look I find something else that's not quite the way I'd like it to be, my kid is beginning her 6th year of a 4-year degree program, everyone at work is sick, I've been working 6 days a week for the past 2 months, the semester at my second job just ended and I had grades due by 9am Friday mornig (gave the final exam Wednesday night), I've been fighting with FedEx all week about the delivery time of a package, and my husbands 16 year-old truck is ready to be given it's death certificate and he has managed to save all of $597 in that 16 years to use toward replacing it. :roll:

Stress, what stress? :?

You are a teacher?

Post by TheSkeptic »

It is a wonder you don't have migraines all the time.

One of my assignments as a substitute was for a teacher who got suddenly ill and was out "indefinitely." I worked up lessen plans, gave tests and did all the full time teacher stuff.

First day -- Students did not believe I had any authority over them. Gave 15 detentions in a class of 25.

Day 2- Students sullen because they found out the detentions were real.

Days 3-5 Students behaved as well as could be expected. On day five I gave a pop quiz on material we had covered. Students didn't believe I had the right to test and grade them. One student requested a pass to the office to complain to the Prinicpal. -- I gave it to her. Principal returns with frowning student. Informs class that until Mrs XXXXX returned, that I was the teacher and had full rights and responsibilties as a teacher. That all work and grades I gave would be for full credit or loss.

On day 21 the teacher returned. She confirmed that the grades I had given would stand. (This made some students VERY UNHAPPY.) Other students were unhappy to see me go as "Mr. Jerry, you explain it better than Mrs. XXXXX does," and "Mr. Jerry, I like the way you teach, you make it interesting." I doubt the sincerity behind both statements, but some students did like me. I also got some. "Glad Mrs. XXXX is back. You work us too hard and give too much homework." (I didn't give any more or less homework than Mrs. XXXX, who is an excellent math teacher. Far more qualified than I am.)

Skeptic and k9Karen, your work lives ARE stressful! No...ms

...migraines here, but work stress is piling on high. So is a headache, but I suspect it's of the sinus infection variety. It's funny; the headache started at the end of last week, right when my boss was in her "Mary, I want all of this done yesterday" phase. I think we all need a long vacation from work :(
