mac has been to work with me at the last 4 jobs. He thinks work is for the birds. Can't say that he is wrong.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Rick I think your statement is completely accurate.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
You know what's funny, I complain about work all of the time and I'd prefer to live a life of leisure (who wouldn't?!) but I also genuinely enjoy my job and feel a sense of deep rooted fulfillment around it. I don't love the need to work, I guess, but I love what I do.
And this year? I have learned a ridiculous amount. I'm teaching Grapes of Wrath for the first time (a book I have hated since high school) and damned if I'm not enjoying the book and the teaching. I taught 1 Their Eyes Were Watching God, a book I promised myself to never teach, and again, loved it.
I'm teaching 1 Macbeth which has been 100% fun (even though I've taught it before) and I taught a slew of short stories that were great.
I feel like this year, 16 years in, I'm still learning and I guess that is what makes my job enjoyable, even when the stuff outside of that makes me nuts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow, b.org is really slow for me right now. I've been clicking on links on b.org and then doing some work for a bit before checking back to see if the page has loaded yet.

What is absolutely the pits, though, is grading.

After I posted that, suddenly b.org is really fast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like this year, 16 years in, I'm still learning and I guess that is what makes my job enjoyable, even when the stuff outside of that makes me nuts.
That's great.
Somehow I feel like I would love my job if it were 80% time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can love my job if people.
But, people, so.
