The next decade....what's in store?

How can I arrange it that I don't HAVE to work when I don't want to?

Have just come off 2.5 weeks holiday and I just don't feel like going to work tomorrow! But when I get there, I will be ok. It's just that HAVING to get up at a certain time because I HAVE to be at work for a certain time is just not my idea of fun!

I HATE SCHEDULES! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

How can I arrange it that I don't HAVE to work when I don't want to?

Mr T Writes Me A Note

You may have read in previous entries, that Mr T is very cool and doesn't do the hug thing, nor does he show any emotion of caring or anything like that. So I was quite surprised when I got a note from him a few weeks ago.

Before I left to go on Sick Leave for 8 weeks, I gave them a project. They were to divide themselves in Group, a Leader would be assigned and each group would choose one career in Tourism, do a poster for that career and make a three minute presentation about the career.

When I got back, they hadn't done anything except decided on the groups. So I gave them some more time. One week, I stopped by when they were working on the posters. I went over to Mr T's group (naturally he was the leader) and he asked me if I had a red marker. I did not. I moved along to the next groups.

The following day, I dropped off the red marker in an envelope with his name on it.

On the day of the class presentations, I saw him and asked for the red marker. He said he had it in his bag which was in the other classroom. He left to go get it. He caught up with me as I was going to my jeep (I had to go back to work for the video camera). He walked up beside me. I said "where's the marker?" He said "look, it's in my book".

He opened the exercise book and in the middle, there was the marker. I started to take it out and he said "the note is for you". I took it, read it and said to myself "aw gee."

These are the things which make what I do worthwhile. I took a picture of the note.
