Something that is particularly of interest to me right now is something that every teacher knows well... the joys of continuing education. As a teacher, you are required to constantly update your knowledge, take classes, attend seminars, etc, etc, etc until you feel crazed. If you do not do enough mind-expanding things, you will not be allowed to renew your professional certificate, and that means no more teaching for you.
While I am all for this, really and truly, I cannot in all honestly say I like it, especially now. I am taking a class this summer, and tonight I spent almost 2 hours doing nothing but stuffing page after page in page protectors. Now, this normally is a boring, mindless job, but the best part was... the page protectors were defective. The pages all folded up in a weird way, and just looked wrong. This is annoying, as I paid good money for the dumb things. So to add to the already tedious task of stuffing the pages into the shiny plastic, (full of static, you know), I had to run my finger along the side and carefully pop 1/2 of the seal. Not the whole seal, mind, because that just makes a hole. Just 1/2.
Suffice to say, I hate everything right now.
Oh, well. At least I'm finished, right? After presenting it tomorrow, I am free from continuing education... until September. Rats.
