For me to go back to work full time! I'm a teacher and have had the last ten weeks off for summer. I got into really unpacking my room today and I have so, so much to do to get ready for this school year :sad: !

Teacher inservice 8/18-8/22 and the kiddos start 8/25 :swoon: :swoon: :swoon:!!!




So, I just wanted to say that I may not be here as much anymore :cry: ! I will try my best to check in every few days and on the weekends for sure! I will be thinking of you guys and the band :wub: ! This has been an incredible summer! I am so happy to have met you all!

I swear I feel like my whole life has been swallowed up and pillaged by my career, I am gonna say what I say every year this time of year: this year I will not let my job take over my life. :( You heard me say it, hold me to it. Please! Last year I got a LOT better at that and I hope to continue this year.

You mean our jobs aren't our lives???I swear I signed someplace in my blood.

Ditto on the absenteeism. I too work at a university...and I am working on my doctorate, so I will be popping by as often as I can...

You all are awesome company and many are good friends....so I am definately not disappearing! I have too much fun with you all and our wonderful Your Vegas boys.

Viva Your Vegas, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My work blocks all message boards so I can't pop in during the day. I'm working to try to pick up enough freelance work so I can quit my job and then my days can become my own.

I just wanted to say I commend you Michele and Julie and all other teachers because you are such underappreciated, underpaid heros in my books. You mold children and teenagers minds and provide knowledge and deserve to be paid so much more. Don't get me started on my who deserves more money rant because between teachers, nurses and cops this could take a while :D . But It must be different to have so much time off an then suddenly go back to work. I wish I could get a long, long break because I seriously need an extended nap right about now lol So not a morning person!! I know I am a big baby I graduate college and whine about working full-time while teachers work their butts off.

But good luck with the new school year and hope you get your well-deserved YV break down in Texas Michele very soon. But I must say I wish I had the cool rocker teachers like you and Julie when I was younger. I will miss all of you who can't come on during the day but that's what they make the night for I guess :wink: I hope to have your problem soon beause my job bores me senseless and I want to be in the crazy, wild world of Journalism already!!

:hug: Thanks, Liza! It is challenging and yes, the pay does suck :lol: , but so, so rewarding. I look forward to going back, I crave routine and our routine is so outta wack in the summer :blink: !!! The break is wonderful, so great to be off for so long :cool: , but I'm looking forward to my routine again.

Thanks for the sweet words about a Texas show sometime in the future :party: !!! Staying hopeful that it won't be too much longer! My offer stands for anyone who can get to Dallas- my house is open to you :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: !

that is sweet Liza, thank you. Everyone here is underpaid and underappreciated at work I have no doubt, kudos to the ordinary man and woman! :notworthy: We all make the world go around. Even our dear five heroes are underpaid. :( Talk about deserving more. Yep, the systems are screwy. I vote for raises for all YV fans and the band, but I don't think I get a say in that. :lol:

Teaching is not at all what it used to be just a few short years ago, sad to say. :( A job I used to adore has had a lot of joy sucked out of it by some political factors. I'm all for being held accountable for my job, but the pressure for performance is unbelievable. Very sad for the kids. I can't believe how much my teaching has changed because it's had to. My kids used to tell me I was their favorite teacher and I would be happy, now they tell me I'm their favorite teacher and I'm shocked and want to ask "are you kidding me??" because I feel like I have to forcefeed so much down their throats. It's repulsive. Reeeeepulsive.

The only thing that keeps me sane and makes me wanna go to work every day is the kids themselves, but without them I would have quit teaching by now. And teaching is the one thing in this world I think I do well so that's saying a lot. George has screwed up a lotta things but he can't screw the kids up. ;)

Ugh, ok. Sorry. Off of soapbox. Please vote in November. :lol:

No need to thank me just speaking the truth, teachers are so underpaid and so underappreciated. I've always said teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters and soldiers should make so much more money then all the wealthy doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, politicians etc But well said Julie, so many of us don't get paid enough (yes including our beloved YV boys) but only a select group can be called heroes and I feel teachers are in that category. Just makes me sick seeing athletes and actors get paid so much when people who deserve even a fraction of that money will never see it. Sorry just passionate about this subject. I too will be voting in November as I always do and I'm pleased I'm among more politically minded people too :D . Gee wonder who I'm voting for?
