Something About Nothing..........# 9

[Coach81]

Tink, wow she is gorgeous!!!

I am so envious of all of you who are going on vacation!!!

Ok gang I need some advice/guidance.

Those that know me kinda know my situation. I am completing my 20th year in public education at the end of this school year.
I have been coaching at a new private school for a year now and my kids have been attending the private school (at a reduced rate due to my coaching). We had an agreement that I would retire at 20 years (partial retirement payment plus full family health benefits) and make the jump full-time to the private school.
I have been switched to a PT Instructor at an alternative school -the job is challenging as I deal with the WORST kids in the parish everyday. However, so far I have found the job to be very "easy" for me.
So here we go. If I fulfill my agreement and make the jump. I get to:
1. Have two paychecks a month.
2. Teach and coach at the same school my kids attend.
3. Be a part of a new school and a new football program.
4. Teach kids that actually want to learn.
5. Drive 5 mins to work everyday.
But I will give up:
1. An "easy" job that I could coast for quite a while.
2. My retirement will drop from 75% (at 30 years) to 40% at 20 years.
3. If I leave the public setting I also will probably never be allowed to return.
4. Probably never be a head football coach again.

So....... What would you do????

 

[Tinker-tude]

Wow, Coach - that's a lot to consider. I have zero in the advice department.

Hey Robert and Carole, the room is as nice as alwya.

I lookers all other the room to see if u hid any notes for me

I gave your best to our friend. He asked for me to tell you hi.

It took me 37 minutes to get connected foreign in this room.

I had to have SS connect me to the company that provides Internet to Loews.
Only issue will be is knave to repeat that process every 3days.
But, that ia so much better than sighing the lobby in my jammies......

Hey, Mac! I'm a very green monster right now. Glad you're there getting settled in. Jammies in a hotel lobby should never be frowned upon. After all - you're there to relax.



I just got an email from Loews offering an extra 40% off rooms for Universal. I was so excited! But DH doesn't have enough vacation time left for us to do the required 4 night stay for the extra reduced rates. Major bummer....

Oh, well. There's still next year.


Sad news, Apple's Steve Jobs died of cancer. What a remarkable, brilliant person. I hope his family can find peace and comfort.

Option one: you only get one go around in life and the time spent with your family would be well worth it.

So....... What would you do????

I am not sure. I mean if you want to make sure you can teach in the public school system again I'd not leave. Also a higher retirement would be kind of nice since it is your funds for settling down. But...then again the family time would be nice. It just depends on what you want. What would be the best for you personally? What would be the best for you financially?

 

[schumigirl]

So....... What would you do????

Hi Coach.........nice to see ya back on Well.......if it were me, I would go option 1.... no doubts. There`s so many more positives in there. Good luck with the decision though

I just got an email from Loews offering an extra 40% off rooms for Universal. I was so excited! But DH doesn't have enough vacation time left for us to do the required 4 night stay for the extra reduced rates. Major bummer....

Oh, well. There's still next year.


Sad news, Apple's Steve Jobs died of cancer. What a remarkable, brilliant person. I hope his family can find peace and comfort.

Aww that`s a shame you can`t use the offer As you say there`s always next year

And yes what a shame about Steve Jobs. I had watched a couple of his presentations and the guy was fantastic to watch. Such a shame and so sad to lose such a man so young


It`s cold here again. Central heating is on and winter warmer dishes are on the menu. Tonight was beef and red wine casserole with buttery mashed potatoes with brocolli.......it was gorgeous. Nice to have the slow cooker out again.

New series of Criminal Minds tomorrow night......Shemar Moore....yummy

[Coach81]

Thanks guys... I'm really struggling with the decision...

The "safety and security" of my public job- Job Security and retirement package vs. time with family... new school, new program, etc...etc....

I've got about a month to figure it out.... wish me luck...

Hope all of you are doing well....

 

[xApril]

Hope you're alright Mac! I saw you tonight by Health Services but did not realize it was you until we were both walking away in our separate directions...

And I was there in spirit, and ate with everyone at Louie's!

Hope you're alright Mac! I saw you tonight by Health Services but did not realize it was you until we were both walking away in our separate directions...

She's doing ok. Saw her today to say goodbye, HHN wore me out! lol At my hotel for a relaxing night before switching back to Disney.

Good to hear! When I saw her, she was outside Health Services icing her face...

 

[RAPstar]

She's got something wrong with her face, but its not my place to put the resons on here without her giving me the ok. But I do know she's got medication to take care of it and will be hunky dory soon.

At Kidani Village today. Just relaxing and going swimming after I eat at Sanaa

 

[Mad Hattered]

Just got back from a screening I won for The Thing. WOW! It's a prequel to the John Carpenter classic from 1982. The amount of detail they pay to JC's is amazing!!!

Gory and good. That equals success in my book.

 

[macraven]

i was back in my bed at 3:00 this morning.


went to my doctor later this morning and not at liberty to discuss the incident.





didn't hear from the other homies outside of the tour group that are on the thread that was at UO when i was.

i assume that everyone was busy having fun and ducking out of the rain...

yes, it sure did rain a few days while i was there but i was prepared.
umbrella, universal rain poncho and sandels served their purpose well !!!!!

Hope you ok mac!

Hope you guys enjoyed the houses! I did!


Marquibiri IOA, USF, HHN 21, Disney TR!

Marquibiri IOA, USF, HHN 21, Disney TR!

i loved the houses this year.
so much better than last year, but that is only my opinion.


their themes, scareactors were the bestest........
with the rain that came, the scare zones really didn't exist.
that made me sad.

i'm doing ok today and will be back 100% in about 2 weeks.

 

[RAPstar]

Did you make it home ok, mac? Miss you! Hope you get better soon!!

 

[schumigirl]

i 'm doing ok today and will be back 100% in about 2 weeks.

Mac...........

Whatever it is......feel better soon


I`ve been nursemaid this last week

DH has flu and a nasty virus Normally I would laugh it off as "manflu".........but goodness me.....he can barely put one foot in front of the other. Only the second time in the 22 years I`ve known Tom for him to be off work. He`s due back Tuesday but I don`t think he`ll make that either, he`s still so weak and a bit of a temp.......and a cough that would waken satans minions!!!!!!! I`m a better patient than I am nursemaid

Have a good day all

 

[ky07]

Good morning homies
Hope everyone is doing well
