Working sucks.  I’ve been back in the classroom for a few weeks now, but I haven’t gotten back in the groove.  Maybe its because I didn’t have a proper summer, instead recovering from knee-replacement surgery.  Maybe it’s because I’m too old to work and I need to retire.  I’ve got a few years left before that happens.

I have a good job, and thanks to a recent contract, they’re finally paying me something approaching what I’m worth.  I’m proud of what I do.  I get it.  I shape young minds and all that crap.  Still, I’m ready to be out of the classroom for a while.  Working sucks.
