3 Reasons You Are Late – And What To Do About It!

Last week I posted a video on my YouTube channel where I talked about punctuality – including how I struggle with it and what I’m doing to make sure I’m on time. Several people left similar comments on that video with real, legitimate issues that cause them to be late. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a different perspective on a issue that seems impossible to resolve. Here are three reasons you might be late – and what you can do about it!

#1 I can’t find an outfit to wear

If you find yourself wasting precious minutes each morning tearing through your closet with “nothing to wear,” you’re not alone! I heard from several people who said they struggle to come up with an outfit each day – I have a hard time with this one, too! I have two suggestions for this dilemma.

  • Utilize Instagram and Pinterest: Any time you see an outfit that you like on a blog post or website, pin it to an Outfit Ideas board. If you’re scrolling Instagram and see an outfit that makes you say, “That’s so cute!” just click the little tab on the bottom right of the picture and save it to your Instagram favorites. When you’re standing in front of your closet, scroll those pictures and find one you can recreate with things you already have. (This is a great activity to do in the evenings – you could even put a few outfits together for the week and have them ready to throw on in the mornings!)
  • Create A Capsule/Lifestyle Wardrobe: This makes choosing an outfit so much easier. I did it last summer and last fall and found it so beneficial!

#2 I get easily distracted by other tasks

If this causes you to run late in the morning, I have two tips for you.

  • Set a timer: If you have to be out the door in 30 minutes, set the timer on your phone! Having the scrolling timer right in front of you might really help you stay on track. I use this trick when I’m going somewhere and my hair just won’t cooperate. I give myself an amount of time and then I have to stop messing with it and just go!
  • Stick to a morning routine: You probably don’t have time to clean your whole house before leaving in the morning, but choosing a few chores that you do every single day enables you to leave the house feeling like you’ve accomplished something.

#3 I have to drop my kids off before I go to work

This is one of the “control what you can control” situations. I’m a big fan of doing things the night before, but that doesn’t work with dropping kids at school! If their drop off time makes it hard for you to get to work promptly, you’ll have to work hard to be at the school as early as you’re able. Make it as easy as possible to get to point A, which will in turn make it easier to get to point B!

Are any of these the reasons you’re late? If not, what makes it hard for you to get out the door on time?

12 thoughts on “3 Reasons You Are Late – And What To Do About It!

  1. I love the timer idea! It definitely helps to keep an eye on the clock. Getting up is my problem sometimes. LOL! 😉 After I’m up, I turn the TV on and like to listen to the morning news to keep me going as I get ready. Being familiar with the segments and timing kind of lets me know if I’m ahead or behind in my day. Packing a lunch the night before helps when working, as does getting clothing ready the night before. I have troubles with clothing selection sometimes in the spring/fall, when it’s cold in the morning but will be hot by the end of the day. So, layers it is! 🙂 I usually have a thin cardigan in my bag all summer long, as the A/C freezes me and I like to be prepared!

    1. Keeping on pace with the news is a great idea! I used to watch the Early Show on CBS when I lived in an apartment, but we don’t have a TV on the bedroom end of this house. Sometimes I watch Netflix or YouTube on my phone while I’m getting ready – but that’s more of a distraction than a motivation! 🙂

  2. Here are a few helpful things to get myself and my 3 children out ON TIME….
    1. A uniform– If I have somewhere I have to be or am teaching one of the two mornings I teach preschool, I have a “go to” outfit… it isn’t fancy, but it gets the job done and I look neat and put-together when I have to!
    2. Longer hair– as my preference, I wear my hair longer, so on mornings with a lot going on, I either pull it up after dry shampoo, or just wet it and let it air dry with minimal styling–this doesn’t work for everyone–I’m fortunate enough it is wavy and will just fall into place
    3. I let my kids eat breakfast in the van, if necessary– I hate this because I’m a neat freak, but we have simple breakfast items and disposable paper plates/bowls for this– I tell myself I can clean up a mess later, but I can’t change getting them to school/ practice etc late..
    4. I get up earlier than everyone else and have coffee and devotions before all the morning chaos begins…this is simply not to give the enemy a foothold… late or not, no one wants to start their day that way!!

  3. I hate being late, and feel the most confident when I show up places on the early side, which has been a huge challenge since adding three kids and homeschooling to our lives! I’ve had to change two things in order to get places on time since having children:

    First, I have to get myself ready first. This might sound weird, but if I handle them first and wait til last minute for myself to get ready, we will be late every time. For some reason, the reverse order gets us out the door on time.
    And secondly, I’ve had to learn what I can ask my kids to do themselves to get ready, and what I just need to do myself. Kids do NOT share my sense of urgency to get to Story Time well….on time, lol. So They are responsible for getting dressed, but mommy pulls out the coats and shoes and puts them on them. What would take them 10 minutes takes me less than 2. It’s about being realistic and knowing that sometimes, to be on time with kids, it just takes more work! But I’m ok doing that because I value being on time. This doesn’t mean I always AM. There have been many plans wrecked by potty accidents on the way to an event or when someone hurts themselves walking out the door and needs 10 minutes to be soothed, but overall, it’s largely possible!

    1. I don’t have small children but I need to learn to get myself ready first….before anything else. I wait until the last hour before I go out the door to hop in the shower, etc. . That is not good because I don’t know what other distractions will come up during that hour. I am always running out the door at the very last minute. Stressed. I know this sounds easy enough to fix but old habits are hard to break.

    2. It sounds like you’re doing a great job controlling what you can control! Paul doesn’t share my sense of urgency, either. It is slightly infuriating. LOL. (sorry for the major delay in responding to your comment!)

Wonder Woman must rescue Lois Lane on an expedition to the treacherous mountain K2! Lois is hot on the trail of a missing group of female climbers who are hoping to conquer the peak.

    Comic Watch - Mike Eakins May 20, 2020

    There is a lot going on with Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #2. We see a great pairing with Wonder Woman and Lois, great environment art, and the uneasiness of everyone is in danger with great fluid movement in the story. Seeing Lois handle herself with such grace in the face of danger was fantastic. This was a great story, plain and simple. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge May 5, 2020

    There's a lot to like here with both story and artwork, just like the previous issue, but I really enjoy the pairing of Diana and Lois more than with Harley. Taking us out of the familiar and putting everyone in danger with an ancient evil keeps things moving fast and fluid here. Sampere and Albarran put together a great K2 with all the ice and inclement weather while also providing for a really strong Diana in costume and action. Lois handles herself perfectly throughout all of this as well and the team did a great job of showing just how solid she is in balancing her capabilities with the heroes who swing into her life on a regular basis. A good story and great artwork that has me looking forward to more. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Apr 29, 2020

    Wonder Woman: Agent Of Peace #2 was a big improvement over the first issue, which was a solid debut by its own merits. Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner did a great job playing to the strengths of Wonder Woman and Lois Lane. Wonder Woman's portrayal in particular stood out as we see how she uses her powers to be a hero during different types of crises. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Justin Partridge Apr 30, 2020

    It isn’t exactly the “World’s Finest,” but Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #2 delivers a worthy dynamic duo for it’s follow-up issue. Graced with heart and strength from its two leads and a game creative team Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace makes a strong case for being the 'DC Showcase' of the new digital slate. Read Full Review

    ok, I liked this a bit more than the first issue. action is a bit more improved art is still kinda mediocre Harley is gone thank fucking christ, replaced by Lois which I preferred tenfold. In the beginning, when wonder woman saves all the kids from the typhoon, that was pretty heroic also when Lois thinks to use the helicopter seats to use for insulation for the coat THAT WAS PRETTY SMART. the villain was generic the ways Wonderwoman defeated the beast was kind of meh as well but kinda smart. the art is still nothing that's amazing action tends to feel disconnected. I think there is some SJW undertones somewhere in this book, but I didn't mind too much. Wonderwoman is kinda fuckin boring. Lois still best girl(YOU CAN FITE CUZZZ). not as fu more

New CAP Code updates on the use of personal data for marketing

Rosie O’Gorman| Trainee Solicitor | EY Law | +44 (0) 20 7783 0073 |

Following a public consultation which launched in May 2018, the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) has published changes to its rules on the use of personal data for direct marketing (the CAP Code). The changes are intended to ensure that the CAP Code addresses data protection issues that are most relevant to direct marketing and reflects the standards in the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR). CAP identified the following features of the GDPR as the most relevant:
• The new definition of ‘personal data’ and the addition of concepts such as ‘online identifiers’
• The additional detail added to the definition of ‘consent’
• The more stringent rules regarding online services offered to children below the age of 16
• More detailed transparency requirements applied to those who process data
• The listing of direct marketing as a legitimate interest for processing personal data
• A data subject’s right to object to the processing of their personal data in regard to direct marketing undertaken as a ‘legitimate interest’

Primary responsibility for complying with the rules on the use of personal data rests with marketers who are also controllers of personal data. Agencies, service suppliers and other parties who are involved in sending marketing communications as data processors also have a responsibility to comply with the rules.

The changes to the CAP Code are as follows:

The removal of rules relating specifically to ‘pure data protection matters’
The CAP Code acknowledges that processing data in a responsible manner is an ‘intrinsic part of marketing, especially in the digital age’. Pure data protection matters (such as data security and transfer of data) have been deemed ‘unlikely to attract an expectation of regulation by the UK’s advertising regulator’ the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and thus removed from the Code. Matters of this nature will usually be lodged with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and so, following the removal of ASA jurisdiction, there will be just one regulator in this area.

The amendment of Section 10 to ensure GDPR compliance
Key GDPR definitions, transparency provisions, and the fair processing notice requirements in Articles 13 and 14 have been reflected in the amendments to Section 10 of the Code. There is an additional rule that states marketers must do everything reasonable to ensure that anybody who has been notified to them as dead is not contacted again. Other data rules from the GDPR and the necessity for compliance with these by marketers are also included.

The removal of Appendix 3 (Online behavioural advertising) of the Code
This is now covered under the new Section 10.

The new section 10 rules will take effect immediately and will be subject to a 12-month review. Issues that arise in the first six months of the rules taking effect will likely be dealt with informally by the ASA, however the body reserves the right to deal formally with cases where it believes that a formal ruling is in the public’s and the sector’s interest, following consultation with the relevant bodies.

CAP is considering what guidance is required in support of the recent changes and we will provide updates when available.

Is SBS 2003 (70-282) still in demand?

It seems as though there are still a few businesses that require/prefer Microsoft recognition for Small Business Server 2003 (i.e. pass 70-282). Is this exam really worth pursuing? Will it still be valued 2-3 years from now, or replaced by the 2008 version? It does seem to have its place in that it rolls several technologies and concepts into one (so-to-speak). Kind of a compromise between MCSA and MCSE.

  • astorrsastorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□
    If you're planning on focusing on small businesses (especially in a VAR/partner role where it helps earn the Small Business Specialist accreditation) then I think it could bring value - the challenge there is that most clients will have never heard of it. :)

    And yes there is a 2008 SBS exam, I did the beta a few months back and recently received my score so they must be on the verge of going public with the MCTS cert.
  • wawrzynwawrzyn Member Posts: 21 ■□□□□□□□□□
    I was asked by my employer to do that exam - and passed it today. There is not much info about it on the internet and most is from 2006 or older, so I will write couple of words for these seeking advice :).
    I had 56 questions, no sims on that one, and 3hrs to complete the test. I was told that the exam is very hard because of so many topics it is covering - but I must say I found it fairly easy.
    Surprisingly I had no SUS/WSUS questions (but they are in objectives), but I had APIPA question - and I believe I had these in all the exams I have completed.
    The questions seemed to be just as the easier ones from Exchange/ISA/MCSE exams. I was most concerned about SQL server - but I had just few easy questions in that subject. I had some about Vista/ SBS 2003R2 so unlike most of the materials the exam is upgraded. Nothing to be scared of! I have passed with 887.

2020 New Year's Resolutions

  1. Get my new hardware installed, I am thinking probably titanium because they don't install terminator hardware yet.
  2. Abuse to the MG-21 to the fullest potential during the trail.
  3. Beg, borrow, steal, or bribe a seat in ECMS.

Figure out my CRC issues.

1. Finish testing switches

2. Fix walled garden issues for Z3 teleworker units

3. Find time to do 1 and 2

Here to help

As John Steinbeck so eloquently put it, "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft aglay!" and as we know in IT, this is too true.  I am not a huge fan of resolutions because although I may resolve to do something, my users have a way of taking that resolve, throwing it on the floor, trampling it ferociously and leaving it for dead.

Now, having said that, there are a few things that I have changed about myself:

1. I am more organized.  I start each day with a to-do list (more of a "wish" list, mind you, but it's something) and I strive to get those things done in between the mortar salvos from the user community.

2. I am more involved in the field.  In speaking with my supervisor at the end of last year, I realized that I need to be more "boots-on-the-ground", and put a face to the actions.  Although I can do almost everything I need to do remotely, it is nice to get in my vehicle and make some "house calls", as it were.

3. I am taking steps to be more fit in all areas of my life: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.  My wife and I have started reading the Bible every day (well, OK, you got me: we actually have Alexa read it to us, but that still counts!); my company has implemented a new wellness program and I am actively involved in that; I plan on travelling a lot this year, and I am enjoying my life and my work more than ever!

4. I will get my CCNA certification before the February 23rd, 2020 deadline.  I know that's not a change in me, but it is a goal for this quarter.

So there you have it.  Long-winded, I know, but those of you who know me know that I cannot be any other way.  It's just who I am! 😛

As the late, great Stan Lee said, "Excelsior!"

Comes here often

Learn Python, and create a API to make Alexa tell me how my network is doing!

Learn Python too, stop drinking so much coffee and complete our network replacement project.

A model citizen

Upgrade switches to PoE to power our IP phones from switch, and convert from 1 Gb switches to 10 Gb.  Replace servers and NAS, and some new PTZ cameras, and learning Python, upgrade MX68, use AD authentication for VPN.

Deploy these

and sell MV to more customers!

Here to help

My networking new years resolution is to run systems manager on my linux machine. It shouldn't be done but here I am doing it anyways.

Building a reputation

To learn Python and API's better.

Comes here often
Work more with the API
Comes here often

Get the CCNP Routing & Switching before it expire.

Afterwards work a bit with the Meraki API's.

Maybe get the CCNA DevNet before we start studying for the CCIE Security.

Comes here often

My resolutions are as follows:

  • Convince the remainder of my non-Meraki clients to abandon the dark side and learn the ways of the Meraki Jedi.
  • Script out a method of auto-brewing my coffee and having a robot butler serve it to me.
  • Get Meraki Systems Manager running on Windows 3.1 just because.

    Object-to-Object Data Appender

    John Alexander

      Hi all,

      I'd like to append data from 1 CDO to another after performing a few filters and updates.

      I see it was previously possible with relationship ones Object-to-object data appender with cloud connectors, but now they're not available does anyone know of another way?

      The Custom Object Record services get me some of the way toward a solution, but ideally I'd like to populate a cdo with contact and exsiting cdo data.

      any ideas?

          Sekar R

          Hi John,

          I believe they stopped free one. The paid one is still available. (Object-to-Object Data Appender - Relationship One)

          • 2. Re: Object-to-Object Data Appender
            John Alexander

            Hi Sekar, thanks for the reply, thats the one I was refering to and unless I'm reading it wrong, It seems to use a cloud connector and they got turned off.

              Hi John,

              We have a similar cloud app we can adjust to do the append data between CDOs. The changes we would need to do will just be from updating to appending the data, I don't see that being too difficult. Let us know if that will help you.

                Sekar R

                Hi John,

                I believe you want to do this process, to gather information about a record stored in different Custom Objects. For this example let me take this scenario.

                Source CDO: Email, First Name (Contact data), Last Name (Contact data), Age (Custom Object data), Interest (Custom Object data). (Email as Unique)

                Target CDO: Email, Company (Contact data), Country (Contact data) (Email as Unique)

                Final data in Target CDO: Email, First Name (from mapped contact data), Last Name (from mapped contact data), Company (from mapped contact data), Country (from mapped contact data), Age (from source custom object), Interest (from source custom object)

                If you want to use Eloqua functionalities to build the process, then you can consider below mentioned steps.

                Needed things:

                1. Source CDO

                2. Target CDO

                3. Eloqua Form

                4. Program

                - First install the "Form Submit App" available from Eloqua. From this link you can get all the relevant information to install this app.

                - So once you installed the application, create the additional fields you want to append from source custom object in target custom object (i.e. in this case, First Name, Last Name, Age, Interest). So in your target custom object, now you have fields such as email, first name, last name, company, country, age & Interest.

                - Now create a blank form (not basic form). Then add the contact fields first name, last name. Then add custom fields (data type - text) for Age & Interest. Configure field merge for first name and last name fields.

                - Now visit processing steps section. Remove the current processing steps if you found any. Since you created a blank form, basically there will be no processing steps. Now configure the processing step "Update Custom Data Object - with Form Data".

                                        Choose a custom object - select the target Custom Object

                                        Select the Key field - select unique field of target custom object (in my scenario its email)

                                        Field Mapping - Now map the form fields to target custom object fields

                                        Executes - Always

                - Save your form.

                - Now create a custom object program in Eloqua. Select the source custom data object while creating the program. Drag and drop "Listener" step. Then configure your own update rules to perform some updates on source custom object records. Then drag-and-drop the "Form submit" action. It will ask you to select the source custom object and then map the source custom object fields to form fields and click save. Then save the program to configure the listener step's source.

                - Now visit your source custom object's custom record services (New data & Modified data). In New data, add the processing step "Add to Step in Program". In Entity Type, select 'custom object records' from drop-down. In Program Canvas step, select the program's listener step you just created. Then save and close.

                - Do the same process for modified data as well. Once done, go back to the program and check the sources in listener steps.

                - Then enable the custom object record services, program. You will see the results.

                  Thanks Sekar, this is exactly the sort of thing I was trying, as we use the form submit app a lot, but its not been an option in the program canvas.

                  I've checked the documentation, which confirms it should be in both program and campaign canvases and as reinstalling hasnt worked I've raised a fault with Oracle.

                  Thanks for the pointers!

                    I've had a quick reply from Oracle, the form submit app is not available in the Program canvas for CDOs, its only available in contacts, so I dont think that solution will work.

                    back to the drawing board...

Good afternoon, I have owned my phone for about a year and half now and its not working properly i have been paying insurance since i got it, how much would i have to pay for i replacement if i have owned the phone for year and a half

        Re: Insurance

        it looks like you don't have answer's for your question yet, I don't know how or what is the procedure of filling an insurance claim as the best option is to call T-Mobile customer care, but maybe you can start here  :  File or Track My Claim | T-Mobile | Assurant Solutions

        when you click on "My Service Fee/Deductible"  you just have to select your phone make and model and  the  type of insurance you have, it will show how much you have to pay. I hope it helps.

          Re: Insurance

          Hey there! If you have insurance on your line and the reason we would need to replace the device is due to some sort of manufacturer defect, we can actually still do a warranty exchange even if you have had it longer than a year What specifically is going on with your phone?

              Hi how are you, I accidentally wet my phone and since them the battery life

              is being shorter, the phone gets really hot and the battery just goes

              really quickly, this is without using any type of games or apps just

              regular use I dont know if the phone getting wet has anything to do with

              this but it was the firts time the phone touched water.

                can a tmobile gift card be used as payment with assurant

                  • Re: Insurance

                    If it is branded for T-Mobile they can only be used at a T-Mobile store or to make payments on your T-Mobile account or online to buy products and services accessories. If it is a prepaid MasterCard or Visa they can be used however you wish as a debit card.

any other linalool allergy sufferers?

Discussion in 'Health and wellbeing' started by grumbleweed, Dec 29, 2012.

  1. Hi all,

    I self diagnosed an allergy to Limonene and Linalool about 3 years ago after much trial and error! Unfortunately there is no ONE brand that is free of these unless you're willing to go fragrance free (which I am absolutely not!) so thought I'd share on here some good products I've found through the years.

    - Dead Sea Spa Magik Shampoo and Clay Scalp Mask (Holland and Barrett)
    - Body Shop Banana shampoo
    - Milkshake - their brand is mostly free but their Incredible Milk leave in conditioning milk is well...incredible
    - Phillip Kingsleys Maximiser is a great volume root lift/thickner spray, and the elasticizer hair mask is my ultimate cult product
    - India hair oil - smells divine and we can use it...yippee!!!
    - Evo 'icon welder hot tool shaper' heat protector spray
    - Maui coconut milk shampoo and conditioner
    - Batiste and Got2B brunette dry shampoo
    - Davines salt spray smells divine and is super effective (a little goes a long way) as well as Davines Wake Me Up hair mask.

    - Dead Sea Spa Magik- delicate boosting mask is great
    - Kiehls pineapple papaya facial scrub (great natural enzyme peel)
    - plain old rose water makes a great toner
    - any La Roche Posay skin product
    - The Ordinary brand - just products broken down into their simplest chemical components - they have no scent but they are great for mixing with your usual skincare to get the result of something costing 10x the price
    - Clinique take the day off cleansing balm (amazing make up remover especially for eyes) and indeed any thing from Clinique as it is all fragrance free

    This is where I struggle as most bubble baths and bath bombs oils etc have allergens in. I stick with simple Johnsons baby bath (well I prefer the asda own as it smells better)
    - Elemis bath milk (just the plain white bottle with blue writing) for a touch of luxury
    - Aveno moisturisers or Doublebase Gel (that I used to get on prescription but now buy over the counter as it's the best moisturiser I've ever used)
    - Original Source Coconut and Shea Butter shower gel
    - Radox Acai Berry and Clay shower gel
    - Dove baby bath and wash

    That's most I can think off of the top of my head. Honestly you can go ahead and avoid Lush - I've hunted through their whole store and there are only two things in there we can use and they have now discontinued both (a face mask and a vanilla mosturiser). Hope this helps people out there!!

  2. Hi there my 10 year old daughter has been diagnosed with a linalool allergy as she kept getting a bad reaction around her mouth, does anyone know what kind of foods she should avoid? Tia
  3. grumbleweed

    grumbleweed Lead commenter

    The main problem I find around the mouth is toothpaste and mouthwash. Check what your daughter is using and if it contains linalool.
    Generally there aren't good to be avoided with this one, but there could be other allergies.

    Hi. I too have just found out I am allergic to Linalool and fragrance. There isn’t much information out there so this has been helpful. Just one question. I switched to Olsson shampoo, perfume and fragrance free and endorsed by eczema society. My skin doesn’t seem to like it and it has brought out my eczema. I have looked at the ingredients and it has aloe Vera juice in it. Is that in the Linalool family? I am confused as to whether it is or not. Anyone know?
  5. grumbleweed

    grumbleweed Lead commenter

    Hi. I've looked at the ingredients and the olssen contains SLS which is a frequent component of many creams but can cause reactions. It is thought to thin the skin and increase water loss which is often a real problem with eczema. Even though it's in aqueous cream.
    I'm not aware of aloe Vera containing linalool and I can use it fine but we are all different so you could be sensitive to it or one of the other ingredients.

    Thank you this is really useful to know.

    Coxyloxie New commenter

    I was intrigued to see if there was a link with white wine and linalool. Trying to cut out linalool which is hard I have had some flare ups and I googled white wine and linalool and sure enough it is in wine along with the sulphites. Anyone else experienced any symptoms?
  8. grumbleweed

    grumbleweed Lead commenter

    Wine is known to often bake eczema worse so may not be down to the linalool. I don't drink at all so I can't comment but if you think there's a link, stay off it for a month and see if you notice a difference. Red wine is worse than white apparently.

    That's quite a huge list, but I can understand because one of my daughters has a similar problem. I asked her about it and she sent me
    [This comment/section/image has been removed for breaching our Community Guidelines/Terms and conditions], she said there are some useful ones described so maybe you could have a look at it.

    I too suffer from linalool. I found VMV hypoallergenics is a company that makes shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, shave creams etc that have no essential oils and are free of the most common 109 allergens. I am still searching for a good hair styling balm for wavy long hair. I can’t find anything! But wanted to share about VMV with this group as it’s been a life saver for me. You can buy most of their line on Amazon.

    Still looking for that hair styling balm...

    Hi, I’m on day 3 of discovering I have this allergy, but have you tried the Jessie curl range? They do a fragrance free option on all products and to my newbie eye The stylers seem ok?
  13. Steph468

    Steph468 New commenter

    I have also been diagnosed with a limonene allergy. The dermatologist has also told me to avoid anything with parfum/perfume/aroma etc so this is proving very difficult. toothpaste is a hard one for me - are we supposed to not be using anything with mint in either? I found out about the allergy via a patch test as I just have a massive red face with itching and burning, no where else is effected. I am not sure if some types of mattress foam contain limonene also.....the list is endless. any help/guidance would be much appreciated I am feeling very overwhelmed with it all as there is very little information on the internet :(
  14. grumbleweed

    grumbleweed Lead commenter

    Welcome to the club, Steph.
    I use sensodyne toothpaste as I have sensitive teeth, but yes it's awkward especially for mouth washes.
    If you're new to this, I'd read through the thread, and try out some suggestions until you find what works for you. I use bio d for soap, laundry, cleaning etc, and I use dermol 500 as soap substitute, but others recommend other things. Everything I use is fragrance free. Mint does contain linalool but not limonene I don't think.
    It is tough, can be expensive, but once I've got something that works I don't change it lightly.

    naomi211 New commenter

    Hi. I recently found out that I am allergic to Linalool, Limonene, 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA), and Compositae Mix (anything in the Astraceae family)... I have been advised that for me "natural could be worse" and that sensitive, hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, etc basically amount to nothing of real value. Will be using all these comments and suggestions for research... This seems to be a nightmare to try and work out...
  16. grumbleweed

    grumbleweed Lead commenter

    Hi Naomi, welcome to the club. Yes it's a nightmare and it's true that unscented, hypoallergenic etc don't mean they don't contain the things you react to. I spend a lot of time reading labels, not easy as I gave poor eyesight. I also email companies a lot if their ingredients are not clear or confusing.
    Good luck with finding something that suits you, it can take time though.

Leaving teaching?

Discussion in 'Professional development' started by stormysky, Apr 28, 2009.

  1. Hi, Just wondering where do you find jobs like that because I want to leave teaching to and I fancy a job like that, i too am dreading next week! Have you any advice on how to get an education officer job? E.g. should I try and do some extra courses in the holidays etc?
  2. While I was in my fourth year at my state school I became utterly demotivated and down. I felt the work I was doing was repetitive, kids disrespectful, classes too big and a lack of funding to the point that I couldn't buy any exercise books for the last three months of the year. I was going to leave teaching- no questions asked. However, as a last chance, i started looking at international schools. I have just started at a private school in Switzerland and my biggest class has 12 bright, willing students, I work as a HoD in a well resourced department with inspiring and interesting international colleagues and all for a five figure salary increase from what i was earning in the UK.I feel happier than I have in years. Seriously think about a new experience abroad. I know for sure and certain that I am not going to return to the UK state system.
  3. One thing that has kept me going in teaching so far is that schools vary enormously. I have worked in some schools where things are great (then it’s only the workload that bugs me!). There’s no way of knowing whether a school is for you until you work there.. I'm not even convinved that a visit is enough, though it depends what you look for and observe. Like lor65uk (post 15) I’ve worked in schools with good looking Ofsted reports that I wouldn’t want to go back to!
    Anyway, I'm glad someone has started this thread as I’ve been meaning to write my thoughts about teaching down for sometime but kept putting it off. I’m not sure why. I think it’s because I still want to believe that teaching is a worthwhile career and I’m annoyed with myself for finding it less satisfying that I was expecting.
  4. I did insert paragraph breaks to make it easy to read - not sure what's happened to them!!!

    Manyjobs have you thought about teaching in FE? You mentioned you used to have a job in IT and I wondered if you had considered teaching IT as an alternative.
    I have taught in FE for 13 years and then went into schools for a time and had a real shock behaviour wise. FE you can also have this but if you are permanent and full time they have more respect, also you don't have the class sizes that you do in schools.
    Just a thought.
  6. I completed my NQT year last year and have just started a new year in the same school. I've also had serious doubts about teaching from the very start of my training and although at times, I've thought "that's it, I really can't take it anymore, I've got to leave before I collapse", I have carried on, for all the wrong reaons: fear of being seen as a failure by my friends and family, fear of disappointing my parents and uncertainty about what to do next. I know the problem is not the school or the department, people are really friendly and supportive there, and I was looking forward to starting the year again after the holidays. But that was not because I wanted to do the job again, that was because I wanted to see my friends everyday again. However, like many teachers, what I hate is the work load. I so wish I could have a job where I don't have to spend my weekends planning lessons, marking books etc... Also, although my collegues and HoD tell me that I'm a great teacher and it would be a loss for the school if I left, I feel that staying is a loss for myself: we've only been back a week or so, and I'm really stressed out. I can't concentrate and plan my lessons, I spent 10 hours last Sunday trying to plan my week and only manged a few lessons, and had to raise the alarm at school, because my health is deteriorating. Insomnia, can't eat, visibly lost weight in just a week!!!
    I really don't want to turn round in ten years time and realise I've wasted my time in a job that was taking over my whole life and making me poorly and unhappy, but I also have a feeling of guilt as I feel I would be letting people down if I stop. I have also told myself many times "one more term", "one more year", but seeing how I feel after just a week, I know I won't carry on in teaching and need to find alternatives.
    I have trained as a Secondary French and German teacher (I'm actually a French Native Speaker) and I'm sure there are lots of areas in which I could apply the knowledge I have and skills I have gained, but the problem is that I don't know what I want to do as I haven't really done anything else (apart from waitressing and working as a secretary one Summer just after I finished Uni). And I don't know where to look for help and advice. Any suggestions?
  7. This is my 3rd year in my current post, I had doubts during my PGCE about whether teaching was for me, however suffering from depression for the first time ever last year, I decided I wanted out. Unfortunately, I was not pro-active enough at searching for jobs during the March - July period. I have now returned to my school and coming in each day is gradually destroying me inside.

    My problem is mainly that I just cannot stand children (an issue that has built up over the PGCE year and 2 teaching years) along with the work load. I am currently studying in my own time for a recognised ICT technician qualification (A+) so am using that as a driving force. I have various job sites open as I write this message, I'll take more or less anything ICT / Office related that pays above 14k ish, I'm that desperate.

    The only worry for me is, if I find a job, leaving outside the allotted period would land me in legal trouble. I have absolutely no issue with being struck off the teaching register as I have no intention of ever returning to the classroom after I escape. While management are aware I am looking for a new job, I have promised truthfully to do my best for my classes while I'm still here. They are not aware of how badly I wish to leave, although some colleagues are. Utter nightmare situation each day, so I sympathise with all of the other posters in this thread.

    I have recently completed my PGCE and have begun my career as a primary teacher. After reading this thread, however, i feel quite disheartened. Are there any teachers who love their job and lifestyle?? Whilst I am obviously aware i have only been in the job full time for a matter of weeks i feel quite dismayed at some of the messages on here. Just wondernig if there are any stories of teachers who are perfectly happy in their job??
  9. Of course, there are! I have lots of colleagues who are really enjoying teaching, even though they sometimes have their ups and downs, too. The problem is that some of us are not made for it. As far as I am concerned, all my colleagues tell me how brilliant a teacher I am and will be, but the thing is that it comes with great sacrifice, and I'm not prepared to keep on like that. My colleagues actually tell me that I'm being too hard on myself, because I'm a perfectionist and that I should cut back on work. The problem is that I don't know how to. They might be right, but this is who I am, and if it means that I have to spend so much time planning lessons and that I don't get a life outside, then I'm not ready to stay in this profession because it doesn't suit me.
  10. Hi,
    I used to be like that really enthusiastic . Sometime I really enjjoy my job, but it also takes over your life.. Sometimes I'm so exhausted that I don't have the energy to even talk to my partner. I spend Friday nights working and the whole of Sunday planning. I would like to start a family but am stressed as I know I can't carry on full time but can't afford to go part time which is like a normal full time job in any case. Oh and i'm in my 4th year of teaching and as I said sometimes I enjoy being in the classroom, but its the workload that is the killer.
  11. jazz2

    jazz2 New commenter

    There are plenty of teachers who are happy in their job but this is hardly the thread (or indeed the forum) on which to look for them!
  12. I wasn't happy last year and thought the holidays would sort me out. To some extent this did happen but after two weeks of lower school citizenship I am going made. Last Thursday I went to the head and said I was looking for another job. Done it now! He was very indifferent (a real bully). I need the money but I can't bear the feelings of stress that seem to have all the time. I actually feel happy now, the first time for ages. Job searching noew and feeling a bit panicky but I know if I hadn't gone in and told him how unhappy I was, I would have struggled on. This job can make you very ill. I might end up being a recptionist but that would be better then wishing my life away at school.
  13. This thread has just lessened the enormous amount of guilt I have been feeling after wanting to leave teaching only three weeks into my NQT year!
  14. I keep reading this thread to see how other people are feeling and what they are doing about it, but I'm still at a loss. I've actually been really depressed over the past few weeks, even more so since I have been signed off, because I have too much time to worry about everything. I am scared at the thought of going back to work, thinking that it will be really hard and that I can't do it, but on the other hand, I feel that life without work is pointless and meaningless. I really can't picture what else I could do and would enjoy, and I wonder whether I could ever find a job that would pay enough to be able to actually do things in my free time. I can't imagine a brighter future as it all seems to be a vicious circle to me.
  15. I feel in the same position as you aurorem.
    I have had months off before with depression and anxiety but thought I had beaten it for good.
    Had a lot of time out from classroom teaching.
    Now back in it - but the symptoms are returning.
    Feeling like I cannot ever win - awful feeling.

  16. becky70

    becky70 Occasional commenter

    Try this for other options - there are loads which can make it confusing.

  17. I'm not sure I understand your post, Becky... Did you mean to confuse me? lol

    I had looked at this already, actually. I even saw a career's advisor, who turned out to be completely useless! All he did was sit me in front of a computer to make me answer a list of questions, which I could have easily done from home on the net.
    Badteacher (not very positive, this name!), one thing that does help is talking to lots of people about the situation. Teachers and non teachers. I do have moments when I think there isn't any solution and that there are only problems emerging one after the other, but with all the people I have talked to and all the different opinions I've had, deep down, I know I will be getting somewhere soon, even if I can't see where I'm going exactly... Hang in there, it will work out one way or another. That's what I'm trying to tell myself...
  18. becky70

    becky70 Occasional commenter

    No, sorry! Meant that when you go on that website it throws up so many options! Had the same thing as you with careers advisers too.
    Could you start by looking at your finances - what's the minimum you need to earn to survive firstly and then what do you need to do to survive plus do stuff that you enjoy. This should narrow down the options, maybe quite a lot!
    Good luck!
  19. My thoughts are with all those of you who are having/have had a rough time in your teaching jobs! I trained in 2002/3. Had I known then about how tough teaching is I wouldn't have done it. Like so many of you, I stuck it out because of all the effort, time and money I've put into it - and I've got a cupboard full of books and resources. I also felt I had to prove to myself that I could do it and succeed. I did supply, including my NQT year, for the first couple of years then began looking for permanent jobs. I didn't realised how competitive it is (I trained in Geography) and never secured a permanent position. I continued to do supply jobs (daily supply and long term positions). In Sept 08 I got an RE position in a Catholic School for a year. I ended up leaving a fews months early because of my HOD and a senior member of staff. I'm really glad I did. I knew before I took this job that I'd had enough of the work load and bad behaviour. I'm now looking for other jobs and back to daily supply again. Thanks for the jobs link and for advise throughout the forum - it really helps reading about other people's experiences.
  20. I'm sorry to read through some of these posts, its so depressing and I feel your plight.
    During my NQT I had a HT that bullied and picked on me and accused me of wrongdoing for things I had never done, and I was made to write and apologise for all these things. My department was lovely to work in and I really liked the staff (and the HoD was very supportive to me) but the HT seemed to have a bone to pick on me and I didn't last long there.
    Sometimes I don't know who was worse when i was teaching, the management above me or the kids. Depending on the school both can be quite awful, the constant disrespect from the kids and the demands and crud the SMT put you through. My HT in my NQT time made all staff do after school insets until about 10pm at night!!!!, it was awful, the school was never closed for inset and we had to do two of these damn things a term, thats not including the parents evenings and awards etc. I wouldn't get home until 11.
    The start of each term filled me with pure dread and I had sleepless nights thinking about going back to work.
    At my most recent (and final!!) teaching job I saw some of my department colleagues undergo a lot of harrassment and pressure from HT and SMT (in an "outstanding" ofsteded school) and it was so depressing to see them go through this. A colleague got hounded with constant lesson observations by SMT (maybe 2 a week).
    Experiences like these added to my cynicism and loathing of the profession. At the time I thought it was maybe just something i was going through but after reading these threads i realise I wasn't alone.
    There is no way in h*ll I'm going back into teaching just to have a few parents and kids say they enjoy my lessons and the occasional cool lesson where things magically seem to work out (yes just like in those happy TDA just teach adverts, if only I had classes like that!!)

Beyond Sugar ShockBreak Free With ConnieCravings-Crushing Monday™

How Do You Start to Kick Your Sugar & Carbs Cravings?

Whenever people meet me, take one of my programs,  do private or group coaching with me, they invariable immediately ask me: “Connie, how can I kick my sugar or carb cravings?”

One of the simplest, but most powerful strategies is so easy you’ll be shocked by its effectiveness.

Let me introduce you to my Delay Away Your Cravings Tactic™, which I also call Creative Procrastination™.

In short, Just Delay before you put any sweets or carbs into your mouth–even if all you plan to do is nibble. (As you may know, your good intentions to have just a taste or two can lead to a binge.)

I hit on my Delay Away Your Cravings Tactic back in 1998 when I was reluctantly kicking sweets and refined carbs on doctor’s orders. To this day, I continue to be amazed at how easy, effortless, and darn effective it is.

Think about it:  If you mindlessly nosh on fast-acting sweets or much-like-sugar carbs™ (my phrase for processed carbs),  you’ll become headachy, wiped out, spaced out, moody, depressed or even angry at yourself, as you’ve revealed in surveys you’ve taken with me.

But what you do in that minute or two after your craving hits can make or break your diet.

In short, if you cave into cravings, it may be bye-bye, weight loss; hello, weight gain.

But I’m determined to help you get over that “Must-Have Sugar Now! hurdle.”

Let’s delve into this Delay Before You Cave into Cravings.

Just think about it: What’s one of the things many, if not most of us, do when we don’t want to do something? We procrastinate.

Usually people think of procrastinating as a bad thing, but you can make it quite powerful, positive and health enhancing.

So when you want to Crush Your Cravings, the starting point is to procrastinate.

Here’s the simple seven-part process to Delay Away Your Cravings.

  1. When a sugar or carb craving strikes and you begin fantasizing about how to get your favorite sweet treat or processed-carb snack, just Delay.
  2. First, set a timer for 15 minutes.
  3. Then, pick a project you’ve been avoiding — something like cleaning the kitchen, clearing off your desk, helping your kid(s) with homework, donating old clothes, organizing your CD collection or working out.  Now devote the next 15 minutes to your task. (Make sure that any tempting sweets are far away from you. Ideally, you won’t even have any at home.)
  4.  It’s time to get moving! Do your project while you play one or more uplifting, high-energy songs.  Some of my favorite boogie tunes are:
    Dare to Live by Andrea Bocelli
    Don’t Stop Believin‘ by Journey
    Sorry (PURPOSE : The Movement) from Justin Bieber
    Limbo by Daddy Yankee
    Bounce Back from Big Sean
    Don’t Stop Me Now from Queen
    Dare You to Move from Switchfoot
    On the Floor from Jennifer Lopez
    Eye of the Tiger from Survivor
    The Lion King’s Circle of Life
    Return to Innocence from Enigma
    Livin’ on a Prayer from Bon Jovi and
    Can’t Stop from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
  5. Keep moving, organizing or or cleaning  for the full 15 minutes.
  6. When your timer goes off, breathe in deeply three times while you envision a beautiful rainbow filling your entire being, especially the parts of your body you want to slim down.
  7.  Now think about how grateful you are that you used my Delay Away Your Cravings tactic. Also, visualize how happy you’ll feel tomorrow, when you can pat yourself on the back that you didn’t let your cravings get the best of you.

What’s so cool when you Delay Your Cravings is that you’re making this process fun, clever and healthful.  Plus, if you boogie at the same time, you’ll feel more in tune and pleased with your body.

If you still feel cravings after 15 minutes, then Delay Away Your Cravings for another 15 minutes while doing your project. If you like, just delay over and over again until you’ve stepped into your power.

Also, if you have children, bear in mind that you could do this fun, super-simple tactic together. That’s because Delay Your Cravings works well for people of all ages.

A Bit Casual Eating Out London

M1lk, Balham

December 6, 2014

I’ve heard all about the brunch service at M1lk– I’ve heard about the great coffee, quirky twists on classic dishes, and the legendary line that spills down the street. This all made me very curious and so on a lazy London Sunday, a certain someone and I made the short trip to Balham to quell my curiosity. From that excursion I can only confirm that the ridiculously long line spiralling down Hildreth Street is not stuff of legend, it most definitely exists and is fairly slow moving. So as people who don’t share the English’s love of queuing, we decided to give it a miss and I was still left wondering. That is until earlier this week when I had the good fortune to meet a friend for lunch, in Balham, on a weekday- what are the odds?!

As soon as you walk in you’re hit by the undeniably hipster decor, but also the size, no wonder the lines are out the door because this place is cosy! Despite it being a miserably cold day, M1lk still had a steady flow of customers and we were lucky to nab a little table when we did. While the menu is pretty short, we did engage in a lot of umming and ahhing as a lot of it appealed but in the end we went for a hot chocolate and ‘Sweet Maria’, and a ‘Lois’ smoothie and ‘Young Betty’.

First up, the drinks were excellent- my hot chocolate was actually dark and rich, unlike so many pitifully milky ones I’ve had in London, and I was emphatically informed that the Lois smoothie of blueberry, banana, and apple was amazing. We were however, less emphatically impressed by the food.

The ‘Sweet Maria’, sweetcorn fritters, haloumi, avocado, kasundi and lime, was probably a little heavy handed on the kasundi. That tangy, tomato-based relish covered everything, and those poor limp little fritters had no chance, soon disintegrating into a bit of a battery mush. Thank goodness they had the good sense to provide a generous dollop of smashed avo and that wedge of lime to cut through the rich oiliness.

The ‘Young Betty’, poached eggs and drycured bacon on grilled sourdough with burnt butter hollandaise, looked lovely when she arrived but really let down the team with overcooked eggs. Bottom line, poached eggs need to have runny yolks, and these ones did not.

I left a little torn, I really wanted to join the masses and love M1lk but this experience left me underwhelmed. I’ve seen the instagram shots and my oh my, they had me salivating so perhaps they were having an off-day or perhaps I was fooled by the food porn and set my expectations too high. I’m willing to give it another chance though because I do seem to be in the minority with this opinion. So the next time I’m in the neigbourhood around brunch time, in need of a bite to eat, and there’s no horrendously long line out the door, I’ll stop in again, but really, what are the odds?

So tell me, have you been and did you absolutely love it?

Stephen Swartz, A Dry Patch of Skin

A patch of Dry Skin, Stephen SwartzToday, my dear friend, Stephen Swartz, author of the new book,  A Dry Patch of Skin has consented to answer a few questions for us. Stephen is a true renaissance man–an accomplished musician, and the author of seven published novels, he is also a professor of English at a well-known university in Oklahoma.

I became friends with Stephen in 2011 through ABNA, and we have remained good friends since. I find him hilarious, and I really enjoy his work. He has kindly consented to sit down and allow me to “virtually interview ” him. I am especially curious about his wonderful new book, which is a vampire tale. It’s most certainly not your mama’s sparkly vampires! If you are curious, here is my review: Best in Fantasy: A Dry Patch of Skin

CJJ: Tell us a little of early life and how you began writing:

Stephen Swartz 2007SS: It seems like I’ve always been making up stories, much to my parents’ chagrin. I began by drawing panel comics, then added dialog, then began writing paragraphs. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy in my youth, plus the classics of literature. They influenced my writing mostly by pushing me to try to “out-do” those authors with my own stories. My early writing was limited by the limitations of typewriters and correction fluid. When I got my first computer in 1986, all of my vast library of stories finally could be written. And the world shuddered….

CJJ: Tell us about your most recent book.

SS: A DRY PATCH of SKIN is a contemporary vampire story, but not at all modeled after any of the current vampire TV shows, films, or the books they are based on. I deliberately tried to keep it real. Thus, I researched diseases which cause symptoms approximating the vampire’s condition. In that way, I wanted the reader to experience what it would be like to become a vampire. I decided to tell the story through the POV of a man who is transforming against his will into something he does not want to become. All the tropes and memes of vampire stories are there, but they are realized in a medically accurate fashion—as much as possible. It gets a bit religious at the end, so…call it magical realism.

CJJ: How did you come to write this novel?

SS: I had the idea in rough form ever since Twilight came out and I tried to explain to my daughter, who was hooked on the Bella/Edward story, what “real” vampirism was. For that explanation, I recalled a report years ago on one of those news magazine shows about a man suffering from porphyria, sometimes called the “vampire disease”; the medical explanations for his affliction made perfect sense in terms of why he might be called a vampire if he happened to live in a certain time and place rather than modern America. Watching that interview (he wore a hood to cover his face), I could truly feel the anguish of being in that situation, and given that my art is answering What-if questions, I sought a vehicle for illustrating that awful situation.

CJJ: Do you have a specific ‘Creative Process’ that you follow, such as outlining or do you ‘wing it’?

SS: For A DRY PATCH of SKIN, I worked a bit differently than usual. I began with snatches of my real life, anecdotes that were humorous or telling in some way, then fictionalized them. My initial goal was to explore the character I was inventing, to get down his personality, way of expressing himself, his identity, and so on. As a story set in 2014 in the same city where I live, it was quite schizophrenic to write fiction about the places I regularly visit.

Unlike some authors, I generally do not make lists of traits or compose background profiles of my characters; sometimes I do not know all about them when they come on stage and I get to know them as readers do. (Of course, I go back in revision and make it all fit together.) I do collect information as I create them but it stays in my head. Sometimes browsing the internet will bring me an image that fits what I see in my head.

I knew from the start the direction A DRY PATCH of SKIN would go but I did not have the exact action of the climactic scene until I was mid-way into the writing. Once I “knew” how it would end, the direction of the plot shifted a bit to head toward that conclusion. I found by the end, fortunately, that I happened to have dropped some good seeds along the way which conveniently blossomed in the final chapters—much as Chekhov’s musket in Act 1 must be fired by Act 3. I suppose it’s a matter of how my twisted mind works; I’m not always conscious of the big picture under the cacophony of surface features, but my deeper self knows…because he sleeps with my muses.

CJJ: How does your work differ from others of its genre?

SS: A DRY PATCH of SKIN was a personal challenge, something in a genre I have not written previously. The saving aspect for me, however, was that it is, at the core, a tragic love story. (Is that a spoiler?) The trappings of vampire transformation become the vehicle for pulling off that tragedy. Or is it that the transformation, the struggle to avoid it or prevent it, is made more tragic with the love interest? At any rate, I’ve consciously tried to go counter to all the usual tropes of the vampire genre. In fact, the characters often mention, critique, and spoof some of the popular works of the genre during their conversations. I hope this novel will be both a fun “review” of the vampire literature as well as a realistic portrayal of a biological problem; in that sense, it’s a medical thriller.

CJJ: Why do you write what you do?

SS: A DRY PATCH of SKIN was a departure from my usual kind of novel (contemporary anti-romance or sci-fi on a grand scale). I was intrigued by the question and wanted to see if I could write it if only to see how such a situation might play out. I seldom write as a challenge or game, but this time I did. For writing in general, I simply want to follow my desire to see what happens next for the people I create and the situations I put them in. I know that sounds cruel, but that’s how I roll. It probably keeps me out of jail or the mental hospital.

Next, I’ve been challenged to write an epic fantasy with dragons. Epic fantasy is no problem; dragons are—because it’s in my nature to try to explain them in an authentic zoological way.

CJJ: I certainly can’t wait to see what sort of spin you give dragons! I know why I chose the indie route for my work, but I’m curious as to why you’ve chosen this path.

SS: Strange you should ask because while I have always done things my way (Thanks, Frank!), the results have not always been glorious. After a health scare a few years back, I realized what I wanted most in whatever time I thought I had left was to publish one of the books I’d already written. Years before that, I had gone through the lengthy process of soliciting with actual reams of paper in mailing boxes and the 6-12 month wait for a response by paper form letter. But just a few years ago, the world apparently  changed and querying and soliciting were being done electronically, which opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I was impatient, for health reasons, so I caught the attention of a small publisher with a book I entered into a contest. That did not go so well but I did get a taste of the brave new world of publishing. The rest is what some call history—and others call serendipity.

CJJ: What advice would you offer an author trying to decide whether to go indie or take the traditional path?

SS: I suppose there are all kinds of reasons and they tend to be settled on an individual basis. I described my situation, but even without that push from Father Time I’d probably still discover the small and indie publishers and hook up with one of them eventually. If I were young and had a market-ready book with a ready-made audience, I’d query that thing to the farthest star. If you are short on time or believe your work is specialized and thus out of the mainstream, you probably have to go indie.

My goal the past four years has been to make the books I’ve previously written available, at least that, not so much for my ego as for being able to check them off my so-called bucket list. Then I wrote something new! And made it available, too. And I wrote something new again! I have to give credit to the publishing of my early books for the spark of creativity that caused me to write my new books.

Thank you Stephen, for answering my questions! For those readers who are interested in reading more of Stephen’s writing journey, you can find him blogging at:

Veal Scaloppine With Hazelnuts and Balsamic Vinegar

  • Yield 4 to 6 servings
  • Time 30 minutes

  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ pounds veal scaloppine, pounded very thin
  • 1 cup flour
  • cup dry white wine
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Nutritional Information
    • Nutritional analysis per serving (6 servings)
      423 calories; 25 grams fat; 9 grams saturated fat; 0 grams trans fat; 12 grams monounsaturated fat; 2 grams polyunsaturated fat; 19 grams carbohydrates; 2 grams dietary fiber; 1 gram sugars; 26 grams protein; 432 milligrams sodium;
    • Note: The information shown is Edamam’s estimate based on available ingredients and preparation. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist’s advice.

  1. Place the hazelnuts in a small skillet and set it over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, use your fingertips to squeeze most of their skins off. Transfer the nuts to a food processor or use a knife to coarsely chop them. Set aside.
  2. Place 3 tablespoons of the butter and the tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and set it over high heat. When hot, dip the scaloppine on both sides in the flour, shake off any excess and slip it into the skillet, adding only as many pieces as will fit loosely in the pan. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes for each side. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat until all the scaloppine is cooked.
  3. Pour the wine in the skillet and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hazelnuts and continue to cook until the wine has evaporated. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the scaloppine with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, turning 2 or 3 times, until just warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the balsamic vinegar. Return the scaloppine to the platter and serve immediately.

I've made southern style fried chick before and really enjoy it but found using all the oil to be quite expensive. Could I:

A) Pan fry it? (I know this one is a stretch but could it work if the chicken breast was precooked?)

B) Only make it so the oil covers half the chicken then rotate them half way through?

C) Could I add oil to the batter and bake them?

Would I have more success with these techniques if used thinly sliced raw chicken breasts and made them more like chicken fingers?

| improve this question | | | | |

B is your best bet. In fact, that's the original (And IMO, best) way to do it! Find a nice heavy cast iron skillet, fill it around halfway with oil, and then fry your chicken and rotate it in the pan as needed

Here are some links: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/deep-south-fried-chicken/

| improve this answer | | | | |
  • Sounds like we had the same idea :) +1 for the recipe links – Rosa Richter Sep 12 '14 at 14:37
  • Chicken fingers as mentioned in the question do work very well for this, since you only need maybe an inch of oil to cook them and they cook pretty quickly. – Joe M Sep 12 '14 at 14:58
  • Alright will try it out! I don't have a cast iron pan though. I only have an electric stove too which always gives me trouble when maintaining the temperature of oil. – user3786992 Sep 12 '14 at 15:16

    I'm just an amateur, but I've deep-fried many a chicken leg in my stainless steel pot on my gas stove. And the oil is indeed expensive, so I re-use it - I have a metal pitcher with a screened tray that lays on the top . You pour the used oil in there and the screen filters out all the junk. As long as you watch the temperature and don't burn the oil, you should get a few uses out of it. – coburne Sep 12 '14 at 15:35
  • 2
    Even though this isn't exactly deep-frying, you should still make sure to use a thermometer to measure the oil's temperature and keep it consistent - particularly if you've had problems with your stove. This will also help make sure that you keep your oil below a temp where it can be successfully re-used per @coburne's suggestion. – logophobe Sep 12 '14 at 15:53

You could absolutely pan fry them, a combination of your A and B options. You'll need an inch or so of oil, enough to come about halfway up your chicken pieces. This is a great job for a cast iron pan, because it will soak up heat and help you get through the temperature drop that will happen when you first add the chicken to the pan.

| improve this answer | | | | |

B. Definitely. My grandmother used to fry them this way for decades. Just be sure to watch them closely or the bottoms will burn very quickly. A splatter shield will also come in handy if you want to keep your arms from getting pock-marked from flying grease.

| improve this answer | | | | |

A and B most definitely. My grandmother pan-fried chicken all the time, that was the only way it was ever made in my family. A few inches of vegetable oil in a deep cast iron chicken fryer:

It is just like a regular cast iron skillet, just deeper. I have my grandmother's old one. And I have not had problems with burns any more than frying anything else in a skillet. I thought it was funny the first time I saw someone fry chicken in an electric deep fat fryer. And it is a big waste of oil, clean ups a hassle, and you don't get those awesome crusty bits stuck to the pan.

Fry on one side, turn. The drippings and bits deglazed off the pan make the best fried chicken gravy ever possible. Another must have is homemade mashed potatoes (lumpy is good too) to go with this fabulous Sunday dinner.

| improve this answer | | | | |

I've done it by coating chicken thighs (skin on, bone in) in a flour and spice mix (I haven't cooked this in a while, but I believe it was smoked paprika, celery seeds, salt, and pepper), and then frying in around a millimetre of oil on a very hot flame until the skin has become fairly crispy, and then transferring to a pre-heated oven to finish cooking all the way through.

Real southern fried chicken aficionados might turn their noses up at shallow-fried then baked chicken, but I personally found the results pretty tasty.

Newsy, schmoozy stuff for cooks

  This could be fun to work with. A recent article in the Washington Post, arriving in my mailbox via ProChef SmartBrief, points a virtual long lens scope at some ancient foods. Since they seem to be evolving into the present day spotlight you just might see them at your market. If you do, and want to play, you can read here how to do that.

  Came across this post from The Kitchn when I was looking for ways to use up my buttermilk. I didn’t actually use any, but maybe some Salon Friends out there might want to tap into some of these recipes. In fairness, it was their pancake suggestions that inspired the one I made with buttermilk mix, a My Week item in the 04.05.19 Salon.

  When you see a headline that starts “Don’t Love Cabbage?” you can guess some solutions will follow. It adds “You’re Probably Cooking it Wrong” – they do regard boiling as “bad,” but if you cook it with corned beef or smoked ham or Polish sausage, or a combo thereof along with some onions, carrots and potatoes, that’s pretty darn good. But here are definitely interesting variations of grilling, roasting, steaming and sauteing along with hints on embellishing the results.

One spice, three ways to get it, countless ways to use it

As if I weren’t already sufficiently intrigued by the dukkah {doo-ka} seasoning mix mentioned in the ancient foods item above in Tidbits, interest notched even higher when it almost immediately turned up in two other places. First was a recipe on the CIA site for American Lamb chops with pecan dukkah and salsa verde {shown}.

And second was in the “My Paris Kitchen” cookbook featured in the 03.22.19 Salon, a prep that started with sliced cauliflower florets, tossed with olive oil and s&p, baked in a single layer for 25 min at 425, stirred once in that time, then mixed with dukkah and roasted for an additional 15-20 min, or until seared and browned.

Dukkah, 1.6 Oz Glass JarBut as that article noted, this nut/seed/spice blend can “be used to season fish, poultry, meat, grains and vegetables. It also happens to be deliciously appealing on Instagram-famous dishes such as avocado toast, grain bowls and hummus.”

So how to put it in your pantry? You could make your own from the choices shown at the link below. You should be able to find it at Trader Joe’s and might be able to find it at a local grocery store or specialty store. Or you can order from a wide array of offerings on Amazon.

An American in Paris – with recipes!

This is an interesting cookbook. Author David Lebovitz spent 13 years at the  reveredMy Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories Chez Panisse in San Francisco, left to write food books, a memoir and blog, and then subsequently for reasons even he can’t quite explain moved to Paris.

His cooking is influenced, he says, by “where I’ve lived and where I am now . . . replete with aromatic flavors that rely on garlic, fresh herbs, juicy stone fruits, and earthy root vegetables, as well as lots of olive oil.” And chocolate! He says . . . “you’ll notice that I use in a lot of my desserts {Without apologies}” None needed!

In this book, “My Paris Kitchen,” you can certainly learn some tips and techniques from a French/ American perspective. Though not overly complicated, it may not be particularly suitable for a beginner.

May I suggest you read the more detailed description and reviews on Amazon. There you will also see that it’s rated 4 1/2 stars. Meanwhile our Featured Recipe, Chocolate Salted Caramel Tartlets from Lebovitz’ site, is actually fairly easy.

Funny how you’ll see some food find, and then in short order come upon related items {just like the dukkah}. In this case the original reference was to the multiple uses for potato flakes discussed in a MyRecipes story we linked in the 03.29.19 Tidbits section.

The first find was in a back issue of Food & Wine, a recipe for Potato-Crusted Pork Schnitzel with Hot Pepper Mayonnaise. Next was a prep using the flakes in potato pancakes that I came across while on the AllRecipes site.

To take this a step further, tapped into the Idaho Potato site, entered “Potato flakes” recipes in the search box and 117 results popped up. If you want to take a look, be sure to use the quote marks as shown.

And in that listing, found the dish pictured here. It’s wow, yes, made with potato flakes! – Fudge Mocha Idaho Potato Cake, and you can find that recipe directly in the search.

Welcome to my kitchen and living room

 Hmmmm. While I’m sure the dough in our Featured Recipe is quite delectable, maybe you don’t want to take the time or get the ingredients. One of my fast, favorite, crowd-pleasing recipes calls for baking the squares of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough as is {no schmooshing} in mini muffin tins and then as soon as they come out sinking a Reese’s peanut butter cup into each {the ones you unwrap, not the smaller ones that come unwrapped}. Could this work here?

  After playing with a number of different methods for cooking a pork roast I’ve found what I like best is in fact a very simple prep. For about a 5 lb roast, rinse and pat dry, sprinkle generously with garlic salt and freshly ground pepper. Onto a rack, into a roaster pan, leave uncovered, 450 for 3o min, 375 for 2 hours or until it registers 170 {check before the 2 hr point}. Let stand at least 10 min.

 I recently came across a reference to Resurrection Rolls. Had you heard of them? I hadn’t so turned to google to see just what they are. AllRecipes gives us both a recipe and this back story: the sugar/cinnamon dusted marshmallows inside refrigerated crescent rolls disappear as the rolls bake, leaving a hollow shell, representing “the tomb of Jesus on Easter morning.” Their page includes a demo for this cook-rated 4 1/2 stars recipe.

So far next week: Shaking beef, stuff even better the second time around, another toast upgrade, sweet tv, Guinness donuts – made them !, there goes waste & here comes the gravy
