thirty three and a half.

I wanted to do this post at 30 days, but let it get away from me. I have subbed 33.5 days so far this school year. Last school year it took me until november 18th to get 33 days. So I am a bit ahead of schedule from last year. This is also good news because every 120 days I get as a sub counts as a full year in the retirement system.

I also have come to a conclusion. I must way overdress for some of the places I sub at. When I student taught, I didn't have to wear a shirt and tie, and was kind of disappointed. I mentioned this to one of my teachers and he wrote back that I should have worn one anyways. I like getting a bit dressed up and out dressing the students. I would almost venture to say that I out dress most of the male staff at some of the places I go to. I seen one male teacher wearing open toed sandals before school started this morning. I don't think I have seen the principal at one building wearing a tie yet this year. I almost always wear a shirt and tie. I usually wear a sweater over top of them, but haven't quite achieved the look I was hoping for by doing that. The sweater keeps riding up and covering up my tie, which is not the look I am going for. A teacher should be dressing for the job they want. Most male teachers I see are wearing polo shirts and gym shoes. If a teacher wants to be seen as a professional they should be dressing like other professionals. Not like someone standing around on the sidelines holding a clipboard. I have always heard dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

I don't like talking about money all that much, but there is something I want to get out of my head. I have received three checks this year more for more than ten grand. I opened up one of them yesterday and it almost made me sick. I feel like I didn't do enough to warrant that amount of money. I would prefer to get my income meted out in smaller amounts. Sure, I like getting paid, but it just seem outrageous that I get some of the checks I do.
