All the sticks on the ice is so frustrating 🫠

I just can’t cheer for Drew Doughty - team Canada or not he’s an ass.

I’m pretty sure sitting in palliative care with your dad and watching your very Italian aunt force feed your dad while saying “mangiare” and sharing family recipes is a core memory.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but they have the heat on in Tipton arena 🤯 Love these 9:15 hockey evaluations!

The first rule is not to read the comments but I feel nothing but pity for people who are willfully ignorant about vaccines and autism.

Our Telus cable box has decided it has had enough of the Oilers and has died. We’re listening old school on the radio 🙃

Did some jackass Panther fan just pour beer on our player!?

Oilers hockey man - not for the faint of heart.

I bought myself an e-bike - best decision ever! What this means is my 14 year old is using my old bike 😭 How did that happen!?

Imagine my suprise when I realized the kids have one day more of spring break 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was so ready for them to get back to school! #springbreak

I’m not sure much can prepare you for your 14 year old boy sending you a 4 minute video about the features of the robot vaccum … #vaccumtalk

For anyone venturing on the QEII between YEG and YYC tonight there is crazy heavy fog. It’s awful #yegtraffic #QEII

Why didn’t anyone tell me that having a kid in junior high is basically like having them in daycare!? They’re sick all the time. Three times in three weeks. This is awful #yeg #sickkid

I had the pleasure of hearing Margaret Atwood speak tonight in #yeg! But I have to confess that I left unsatiated. I was looking for inspiration and motivation and women’s power and was left with advice like, “women should take self defense.” I enjoyed it but wanted more #atwood

As escapism my kids and I watched Twisters and then watched the original Twister from 1996. Even my 12 and 14 year olds agreed that the original Twister movie is much scarier than the newer movie. The original definitely holds up!

Real talk for #yeg parents: what do you do for your 13 year olds in the summer? There are almost no camps for them and I'll be working this summer. Just because they can be home all day does not mean they should be. Does anyone have any ideas?

My sessional gig as a communications instructor is officially over. Presentations are graded, finals are graded, and grades are submitted. This was a great and very stressful experience. I am very excited to go back to doing what I'm really good at (library stuff). #fin

I am grading my first major assignment for my class. I always knew it would be obvious when a student didn't do their own work, but holy crap, they're not even trying. Citations to Google Book previews? Check. Fake citations? Check. I just don't get it.

Shannon @shannondee.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

Does anyone in #YEG have any ideas for fall break camps for a 13 year old? The PD camps I've found all seem to age out at 12, and the truthfully, that age group needs camps just as much as the younger ones. Any ideas?

Shannon @shannondee.bsky.social · 26/08/2023

While I wouldn't say I ever thought being a sessional was easy, I had no idea how hard it actually is. It's not even related to the content itself but to everything surrounding it (technology, institutional standards, setup, blah blah). What have I done!?

Shannon @shannondee.bsky.social · 15/08/2023

In the last two weeks I have accepted two new jobs (ironically at the same institution). I'm feeling a mix of gratitude, anxiety, and excitement. But, I am going back into the academic classroom and that makes me SO happy! #yeg #backtowork

Hi, I'm Shannon and I yell profanity at the squirrels trying to steal the strawberries I have growing on my deck. Cute little jerks.
