HOORAY I AM OFF
Nov. 25th, 2020 11:50 amI still feel a vague sense of guilt for being so mentally exhausted, because there are people whose jobs are just a touch more taxing than teaching kids one-on-one, you know? But, I mean, I haven't had longer than a regular weekend off since Labor Day, and before that it was spring break in April, partly because I don't get PTO, but mostly because teaching here is very much a "nobody else can do your job, oh and also you'd still have to do all the prep work and just not get paid." Isn't it great to be needed?
Still glad I'm not in a public school, though...apart from things like benefits. And unions. Ha ha haaaaaa.
(How did this turn into a complain about my job post? I didn't mean to! I really like teaching, in fact! I think it's probably not sustainable as a career, no matter where I work...I cannot see 30 years of this being viable in any way, but I'm happy enough to stay in it til Tom and I can get our shit figured out enough to shack up together!)
So I slept in today, and am ensconced on the couch with my laptop, at least until I run out of things to do on the internet. Which actually does happen, if there isn't an active conversation going on with the Usual Suspects! I can still spend hours online but not a full day. Not sure if I feel more inclined to read or write or sew! I mean...I should clean, but who wants to do that, LOL.
Leaning towards digging out those short stays and seeing exactly where I was on those. Now, the real question: did they make it into the UFO bin or are they still draped over the back of a chair? LET'S GO ON AN EXCAVATION!
