wishing.

The rib is always "rubbing it in" that if we were both teachers we could
have the summers off together.  I've thought about going back and getting a
teaching certificate, but I'd be at the bottom of the "food chain"
salary-wise, so it wouldn't make sense.  Besides, to paraphrase what you
said, I don't think I'd have the patience to teach kids who DON'T WANT to
understand.

Oohh forgot about that one.  But most teachers I know personally work during
the summer.  So they don't really get vacations.

I'm not bitter about that; I'd rather be doing what I'm doing than stand (or
sit, in my case) in front of a bunch of kids, trying to teach.  I'd be a
horrible teacher as I don't have the patience to repeatedly explain things
fully to those who don't understand.
