Does anyone have a four-day workweek? What's that like? Can I move there? 

French teachers do  A work day is 8.30-11.30am and 1.30pm-4.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Add 2 weeks of holiday about every 6 to 8 weeks so in November, for Christmas break, winter break in February and again in April. Summer break starts the 2nd week of July and ends the last week of August

Most of the time I only work the hours that I want to, usually it's about two or two and a half days a week but occasionally more. So I guess that wouldn't interest you, lol. 

You seem familiar.  That face... that hair... those buns.... Craig!  How have you been? Are you being a good lad?

Your arguments for me to move to France, and become a teacher are valid.  "Class, welcome to Innocence 101".

I'm always a good lad, lol, I don't have time for anything else. I'm good just getting used to a new treatment regime which is tiring.

Hey, all! They replaced 580+ meters of cable for my internet yesterday. No problems since.  Hope y'all are well.

And that didn't even included all the strikes you can take part in

why do you think I wanna be a teacher? For the cute kids? The beauty of the job? The chance to make a difference? Duh

Hey Terry! I've just finished 2 weeks of internship in the best class ever! The students were so nice and adorable! I've learnt so much during those 2 weeks! It was a mix level class with 3 pupils in year 3 and 14 in year 4 so around 8 to 10 years old. The teacher was young and eager to share with us. I was in charge of the class by the first Tuesday for the whole morning and again this Thursday and today from 8.20 am to 12 am. Today the kids made me a sign they all signed and wrote a little note saying thank you and good luck (and yes my eyes were wet). 

On the college front, the upcoming 2 weeks which are spring break will be packed with work (physics, sciences, mathematics and PE). I also have to finish my research mémoire in 2 days (I haven't worked on it for weeks even months 🙈 so little sleep in my future...). Classes will end end of May for me. 

During spring break I'm forcing myself to take at least 4 days off the second week to rest and going to a free concert with a couple of friends as I've studied during every passed holidays and I feel it past time I hit pause even for a little while if I don't want to end up burn out.  

How are you and Aod? 

Wow Clo!  You have been busy.  Some of the things you shared reminded me of my times when training to be a teacher.  The kids that age are so fun to work with.  Of course the college work was also familiar.  It is good that you will get some time with friends to have a break so you don't burn out.  

Aod and I are doing fine. I have been doing more cooking.  I made tahini sauce and used some to make hummus, a meat lasagne, and started on beef burgundy by marinating the beef today so I can cook it tomorrow.  Aod had two of our friends over to have dinner with us.  He is making a hot pot with Mala seasoning.

Hi Nick!  I'm sure many men have written songs in praise of you.  How are you doing?

[raven1]

Hi Bucket!  How are things settling down for you at work?  I hope you haven't missed any more lunches.

Hi, Terry!   I'm doing good. Thanks for asking.   Looking forward to a relaxing afternoon. Praising songs and restraining orders are the same, right?

Today is Steve birthday! Were going out to dinner!
