Thirty-one days, thirty-one posts for the
Slice of Life Story Challenge.
My retirement from public education is looming; according to my countdown app, I am staring down the last sixty days of a thirty-three year career. I am planning on working outside of the school environment, so I've been thinking that I need to learn a few things. Here's what I've come up with so far:
- How to eat a meal in more than ten or fifteen minutes
- How to sleep past 430a, even if it's just an hour later
- How to only work 40 hours of work a week (or less!)
- How to reserve energy and time for my home and family
- How to take my given days off in a timely manner, and without feeling guilty (and hopefully, without having to spend hours making plans to do so!)
- How not to spend my money (or too much of it) on the job I'm earning the money from
I know we have a few retired educators in this Challenge; do you have anything else to add to the list?
I am a few years from there but look forward to seeing what others put down. You list is funny and true.
