    After being told I was going to move my classroom to the new wing that was built at my school this year, I was told that I was actually staying in my "old" room. Well, today that changed and I will be moving to a brand new classroom next year. I am super excited as I did not know this this morning. I am currently across from the boy's bathroom and I fecking hate the daily nonsense that goes on in between classes. The new wing is more isolated and only 6th graders occupying it. I am teaching only 6th grade next year too which is new to me, I usually teach two grades each year. That means less prep work. So stoked as I am finishing my tenth year here and will start my second decade as an educator in a brand new environment.

        @mclaincausey @deanclean Giles is correct. Day Skipper is the lowest certificate by the Royal Yachting Association that allows you to charter a yacht and sail it in coastal waters in daytime. If you want to operate VHF equipment, you will also need to pass the SRC - Short Range Certificate

              @deanclean totally. One of my friends from school is a sailing instructor and skipper, who has gone on a few sailing trips with me and some other friends over the years. We sailed from Tenerife to Fuerteventura and back last November, which rekindled my desire to get my license, too. Just incredible, sailing at night with nothing around you except the wind in the sails and the waves breaking against the hull.

                @Oaktavia congrats man!! I’m in the same boat (to quote other random announcements) as you.
                After 13 years teaching elementary I’m moving to a new building, at a new level (middle school) in a new role. In this field, change is critical to keep the inspiration alive!!

                All the best moving forward doggie!!

                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                @Oaktavia while not ideal it sounds, perhaps the administration put you near the bathroom as a deterring force for the boys? Without knowing you, if you were my teacher, I probably would not fuck around and find out as a 6th grader.

                                  I was placed there as it was the only art room open at the time. The 6th graders are mostly on good behavior, but its the 8th grade boys who cause the biggest disruption issues. Especially this time of year with 4 weeks left until summer break.

                                    I was just at the local garden decor store buying my mom a lawn art piece for Mother’s Day. She has a regular outdoor sculpture museum going on in her garden.

                                    One of the workers comes up and says, “Cool jeans…I love the wash on them!”

                                    My eyes perked up, but then I simply said, “Thanks!!”

                                    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                      Would you consider installing a sprung transparent plastic U-shaped cover over the switches to avoid that same “knee” accident in the future?

                                          That is exactly what I am considering, just have not got around to it....

                                          The bilge pump switches are near my right knee and I sometimes find that I have knocked them from auto to off. Need to do the same thing with them....
