Someone Needs to Come And Calibrate My Work/Life Balance Scale
January 13, 2007
My eyelids are locking down as I type this, so more on the quickness, less on the making sense:
- Someone tell me why I’m so exhausted every freakin’ day when I get home from work. It’s not like I do anything all day, right? I’m just chasing after a group of kids, teaching them, cheering them on, guiding them….oh, wait…
- I’m well on my way to securing that pension, let me tell you. Nothing says job security than the principal seeing you calling a parent to discuss why their child came home wearing pants that weren’t theirs and the ones that were soaked with urine. Yep, I see a long and happy future with this job.
- The kids love me. I give them recess. They throw rose petals as I walk down the hallways.
- The resolutions are going well. I have many shows on TiVo to watch, and the chances of catching up before the next week’s shows record are slim and none; and slim just left the building.
Must sleep. Will hopefully update more later.

You’re exhausted because working with special needs kids is exhausting. Fun, but it sucks the energy right outta you.
Make sure to get some time for yourself!

I am exhausted for no good reason! When the calibration fairy shows up, give it my address as well!

My students don’t throw rose petals as I walk down the hallways but they do cheer madly when there’s an extended vacation and they don’t have to come to school.
Hope you’re getting some much deserved rest today!

Even if you have a perfectly calibrated scale, it’s still tough to find the right balance
