What Cheered You Up Today? (1 Viewer)

Teachers ain't paid enough.

We get criticized enough. The other two fourth grade teachers were saying I shouldn't have given my 18/18 students a limited work day today. Two of the kids who are in my 4th grade class were nearby and heard them talking. I don't care what they say. I know they deserved it and I would do it again.

GOOD teachers are not paid enough. Some teachers are oxygen stealers and do not deserve any pay.

And showing your appreciation to the students for their excellence will encourage them to do it again so win win for them.

Exactly. Reward for effort carries on to later life.

That is true. I have them next year for 5th grade, so they will remember it well.

Although I have a bulging spinal disc, will need physical therapy and might need surgery, I am home from the hospital now and will be off recovering until Monday so should be able to get in some quality time.

I'm having sympathy pains for you.

Ouch...take it easy Glenn...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Ouch, ouch and more ouch. Had the same myself Glenn, many years back, had this amazing Chinese guy who got me going many times but come 2004 after nearly 40 years of trouble, I'd had enough and had the surgery. Haven't looked back since and all I get now is the occasional back ache which mostly comes from being tall. Enjoy your down time.

Beware of those who say, "Now that you don't have anything to do, will you .....?"

Here's the proper reply to this presumptuousness:

 

[Viking1066]

Finished my CAPTLPortfolio 1 in ten hours. I couldn't go to sleep, so I got back up at six, had something to eat and finished it off. I was stressing for nothing. It was way easier than I thought and I had tons of artifacts I could use on my hard drive. All that's left is to finish out the current course in Week 7.

 

[Viking1066]

NO MORE WORK TODAY lol.

 

[Viking1066]

After being up all night, I finally took a 2 1/2 hour nap. My son made sure my Magdalene didn't wake me up (again and again).

I was plotting out the new list of group builds on my calendar and realized that I will (hopefully) be retired by the end of GB #67

 

[Greg Boeser]

I'll be semi-retired by the end of the week.
Still working, but drawing my military pension. Maybe my income to expense curves will finally go positive.

Voted in our federal election. Regardless of outcome, it always feels good to 'have my say'. It also gives me the right to complain endlessly until the next one

Happy for you Glenn but also very envious!

I am voting Saturday.

Choice of 9 candidates and not one worth voting for. The two main parties are the only viable so I will put my preferred main party at number 8 and the other at 9 to clearly indicate my disgust with both of the main parties.

Note for non Australians - we have compulsory preferential voting so you have to list every candidate in your order of preference. Voting this way means my vote must be counted 8 times before it actually counts.

India also has compulsory voting but also has a none of the above choice. I would use that if it was an option here.
