Meme courtesy of tshuma:

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'

So tell me what about me makes you envy me (if there is such a thing - if not, Lie, or flatter me), then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you.

I'm working my way back thru several days of backlog.
was there something crucial I had to know about between last Thursday and Now? Feel free to comment with that too, cos I am likely to miss it.

I deeply envy the passion you have for teaching. I feel like I'm a bit of a fair weather teacher - I couldn't handle the pressure of dealing with a bunch of kids telling me that the thing I am most passionate about is lame. I love d getting through to the ones that I did, but I'm a bit lazy at heart, and couldn't hang. The relief of quitting was shamefully big.

Oh no....I haven't taught since 2003-4. I taught my class (one period of sports medicine) for four years. This will be my sixth year at the high school. I've always been the trainer, and that's always been my primary job. In addition I always did substitute teach to supplement my income, and developed a multitalent-niche over the years to do a lot of random weird things at school like coordinate the STAR and CAHSEE testing. I just do a bit more subbing now.
