Teaching
I put in my ideal contract today at work. Basically over the 4 week roster period I have asked that I work every second weekend, then the weekend I work have the following Thursday and Friday off then work Saturday and Sunday then have Monday and Tuesday off with the following weekend off. One week will only work Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday giving me a 3 day weekend. We’ll see if they agree.
My reasons for doing this is so I can complete my honours thesis. Working like this means I work maximum 3 days in a row so I can spend more time in my office at uni writing.
I have tried to talk myself out of teaching in recent months. It has now been almost 3 years since I did my final prac and I feel out of touch with the classroom. I found myself tonight commenting on this post at KensingtonVictoria.com thinking of myself as a teacher. Actually picturing myself in a classroom.
Who knows! At least when I finish my thesis I will have more options than retail. Especially the dreaded stocktake! 6.30 starts and 12 hour days is not fun! Not to mention dealing with teachnology that was modern in the 70s and 80s.
