There are a lot of things teachers do well and there are two things we don't do well. Ok, more than two but I want to focus on two.
1. We don't sit well. We spend our whole careers standing up, being told to stand up more and wishing to sit down and then BAM! They make us sit for 8 hours and it's all I can do to stay in that chair. In case your wondering I had training today yuck :-(
2. We also don't listen well for long periods of time. We can actually be pretty rude (and we wonder where our students get it!) I tried to focus today because I was actually interested in the topic as I might be teaching this class next year but I kept getting sleepy.
So now you know two flaws of teachers, as I think of more I will let you know.
After the boring training, Kim (marathon trainee) and I laid out by the pool for a while. It was great. I don't know how to describe this to you but it is like I am on vacation all the time. Everytime I leave my house I do a double take. Palm trees, gorgeous flowers, sun all the time. It's truly amazing until I realize I am going to work.
But as we were sitting there Kim said that this is how the better half lives, laying by the pool, lunching, etc... I really want to meet this other half and find out how to join there club. I never used to be content with laying out, I thought it was boring. But now I could go out there for hours. I don't because I don't want cancer but I could. So if anyone knows how to get into the better half club let me know asap. Thanks.

The sitting thing is interesting. In my teacher's book it says are you a "sitting teacher" or a "standing teacher"? Guess we know where you fall:-)
As for the other half - I think there are 3 ways you can change sides:
1)Marry rich. Start lookin' now! My thought is you need to do this sooner rather than later. B)Work hard and then bam! Luck happens;-) and 3)Start buying lottery tickets. Yesterday. That's how Earl got his money!
