this place is a ghost-town this afternoon. I am just about the only person in the building. Weird. I hope I am not forgetting some holday.
Did you missed a memo?

says
I think it was and unofficial holiday: "Use up your vacation time before you lose it" day here. And the weather was great.
Makes sense if the weather's great! I'd have scarpered it too, taking my cherubs with me. Good morning Marcus.

And a very good evening to you, Yen. I guess I am the foolish one for staying at work yesterday.
I hardly think that...how about you take an early afternoon off tomorrow?
kajirus
says
Don't need to. I get 1/2 day off every Friday as part of my job contact. WOO! WOO! WOO! 
kajirus
says
So, are you really a teacher?
Yay for for the afternoon off!
Well, I wasn't. Trained for it, got the paper and I am now.
kajirus
says
Congratulations. I have always admired teachers. I hope to semi-retire and teach someday, myself.
Thanks! It has been 7 years now...still having fun! What field/subject would you be hoping to teach?
kajirus
says
Probably math or computer programming, although I love history the most.
kajirus
says
How about you? What turned you to teaching?
It was mostly a challenge to myself to change what I didn't like about my life then. Oh, plus I really didn't like to sit in the office
and paperwork, filing, meetings, phone calls, 'power' suits, humdrum stuff.
kajirus
says
lol..that makes two of us...but you escaped! But I am genuinely impressed, Yen. Carpe diem.
And I have loads of fun with my charges...some days are tricky, especially when settling in the new ones, but mostly we 'share' what we
know.
kajirus
says
And what are these "charges" like? They sound a bit mysterious!
kajirus
says
btw, if I am boring you to tears please just say so!
I expose my kids to what I like, music wise, in small doses...I laugh more than them when reading kiddie books...
already, can't you tell?
No, I really am not. 
kajirus
says
loll....uh huh
Charges meant the 31 little bosses I have in school.
encourages you to escape too!
kajirus
says
I have a staff of 6 under me...adults..and they make me crazy. I can't imagine 31 little ones!
kajirus
says
yea..I am tempted
Working with adults was the #1 reason I left the rat race.
(has sent in friend request)
kajirus
says
thanks
kajirus
says
So I guess you are not open to a trade then? I send 3-4 of my staff to you and you send me a couple of the little people?
Not a chance, mate! *horrified*
I fear now it is my turn to be traumatised.
kajirus
says
oh well, was worth a try. 
kajirus
says
Gotta go. I have a lunch meeting today and need to get moving. Have a nice evening, Yen.
Cheers, then, Marcus! Take care.
