Caveat: Org Chart

Curt drew a Karma Org Chart on the blackboard of the staff room last night. He didn’t know to call it an “org chart” – I taught them that term, from my years of working in business. Here’s the picture.

The arrows represent not lines of authority but rather “lines of complaint.”  It all seems more or less accurate. Some of the other teachers added some lines.

Yesterday was one of those days where I start out feeling truly horrible, but the kids are entertaining and lift my spirits so that by the end of the day I’m feeling OK about life. One of the reasons why being a teacher “works” for me, from a psychological standpoint.

Caveat: but you’re not dead

pictureI try not to complain, but I was complaining a little bit to my boss today about how this infection I have seems interminable and it’s making my life unenjoyable.

His answer: “But you’re not dead so everything’s fine, right?”

That puts things in perspective.
