I hate evenings!

[Creag]

I don't have the personality or character to venture an independent business.

I'm an awesome employee ... but not an employer or anything other than that.

Become an employee of a business not involved in teaching?

 

[Creag]

Troll Alert!

FTFY.

 

[The_Mowgs]

I don't know if it's 5 ... but yes, if you could call it "paid" ...

... which I don't call it.

I can understand your frustrations. My sister is a teacher in Milnerton and she always do work or markings etc until late in the evening.

 

[satanboy]

djarre! yur a drama queen. 18h00?? Did you almost die?

not like the kittens you added to a bucket

 

[Noquarter]

Hah, I see what you are doing.

You know perfectly well what my marital status is.

pfft..

 

[Saltex]

I feel you bro I need a wife, the thought of coming home to a cooked meal everyday sounds awesome Bachelor life sucks, once shes done cooking she can go back home.

I don't mind cooking but if I could get home to a clean house ... I would like that a lot.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

I have sleep apnea. I'm use to only getting 4 hours of sleep at night.

Do you use a mouth piece?

I also hate evenings... especially ones where I have to go in to the office because the server died

Three completely different hard drives have died this week between my PC at home and the office. I seem to be restoring from backups an awful lot lately.

 

[GhostSixFour]

My work doesn't stop when I get home.

I've been ducking the radar at work since we've started this term. Which is why the frustration is mounting.

Term planning; and multiple Formal Assessment Tasks (setwork, orals and tests that count for marks); for many subjects; in both languages are due in a few short weeks.

This ... Together with provincial level sporting events, a fresh software roll-out during the next couple of days (on 9yo PC hardware - in my class ... that's ****ing stressful), and a new Diablo 3 expansion coming out ... I can't take the stress anymore ...



I am waaaaaayy behind on my marking.

You have to be very creative to decide what awesome software to load or not load in a old PCs.

Remember, the state doesn't give ****, nor do we have the rich parents that we had 8 years ago.

Bet that's the fun part
But don't you teach computer science? What type of an oral do they give you?

It feels like I just got home from work (at 16:30 [****ing sport /athletics-sprints/] - I have to clock in at 07:20, that's when our morning staff meetings start) ... made something for supper ... played some Diablo 3 ... and then all of a sudden I have to go to bed.

Shame.

I get home after 7pm most nights from work. At work at by 6:30am the next morning... and that's when we don't have deadlines.

Weekends... what weekends?

 

[initroot]

Same here! Even weekends going into work.

 

[Picard]

Same here! Even weekends going into work.

Me too.

This weekend was the second weekend since the term started that I didn't have an athletics meeting to go to, but still I had to go in to school on Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

I'm at a Primary School. We don't teach Computers Science, only Computer Skills. And I also teach Afrikaans and History to grade 7 and Life Skills to grade 6.

Sucks. My wife is a teacher so I know the workload..

 

[cerebus]

Everyone works long hours. The only problem you really have is, you're not in a job you love or that pays what you need to start a family. Can I suggest that you look to start a new line of work somewhere in the private sector? You've got some good years of IT experience under your belt by the sounds of it, so it's not like you'll be starting from scratch.

 

[M3mPh1z]

All you people working yourselves to death (especially including weekends), I have a question.

Are you guys spending all your time working and scraping by (i.e. just surviving) with no improvement plan?

I ask this because I too work my ass off, at work at 6:30am home at 6:30-7pm every day, I very rarely work weekends though. But the reason I work so long and hard (hehe) is because of future earning potential and experience, as well as currently being paid enough to get the things I want out of life and to really enjoy my weekends and holidays (Making all the hard work worthwhile).

Or are you simply stuck in a rut with no way out?
