Hmmm ... maybe the new tanning beds need an adjustment.

Penguins ... flippers down.

Feelin' it, sister.

waves hello

I did die. :(

Death does not exist in NS. You can CTE and a nation disappears. About all.

Need to set a reminder to stop CTEing for sure...

I log into my puppets when I get an email that says they are going to CTE, but I try to go through the list once every week or two.

I will begin (on Monday 13) a new school gig as a para. This will be a first for me. Not sure what to expect but it should be better not having to worry about keeping grades and scoring papers. The pay is not as good as classroom teaching but the workload should be significantly less to make the salary fine for what I will be doing.

Late reply, but all the best! :D

What is a para? Possibly a silly question!

I hope the job is going well. I also started a new job recently, working for a criminal law firm. Keeping me very busy.

My MLIS program opened today, and I managed to stress myself out looking at the classes first thing this morning. I'm feeling better now though.

Glad you are better. Change is always stressful. Starting a new anything is also stressful. But I believe in you and know you will overcome the challenges.

Not a silly question at all. A Para(-educator) is someone who assists a teacher in the classroom -- the type of assistance being determined by the teacher. I am teaching in an alternative school (school for students with behavioral difficulties) and having an extra pair of eyes and ears in the classroom helps maintain order and classroom flow.

Congratulations on the new law firm gig. I may come to you (in RL via email) seeking your assistance in creating a not-for-profit entity for my Scottish-American clan group.
