All the young folks trade insta’s. Not even phone numbers. I get asked for mine occasionally by them. And I actually have one lol.
Trying to grow it enough that retailers etc will give sponsor me or give me swag for the students. I’ve now got some communication lines open with the manufacturer if my boat, and they’ve sent me some stuff. My son and his gf already have sort-of sponsor for their insta’s, but they’ve got 10 times the followers.
I try and keep my followers list clean. If you’re female following 1000 people, have three posts and I can see more than 60% of your cleavage, I ban. Almost banned one person then I realized their tagline said student lol.
I have no problem adulting 2 kids who are in school, are barely over 18 and who were coached by their mom to be completely reliant on her and trust her implicitly and who screwed them over in the process.
I have zero intention of adulting someone else who’s years older, with kids, who simply makes bad decisions even if it’s kind of from a place of “I didn’t know any better” because no one taught them things they should probably know.
Just thinking about winter camping. Two years ago I took three students up north camping on public land. Last year I took 15 students up north camping on public land in February. A mile or so across a lake, all the equipment, tents, food, etc. It was a LOT of logistics.
I hate winter camping. One student called it the most Canadian thing ever. I corrected him and told him any Canadian with a grain of sense goes to Florida in February.
Random thought tonite, I’m probably going to feel obligated to take students winter camping again this February.
I wonder how someone’s Monday is going to go today. If I get a message out of nowhere, it’ll signal “not well” which will probably make me really happy, cause … I’m an asshole and all that.
