Caveat: Workahol

Alcoholism involves overconsuming alcohol, so workaholism obviously involves the excessive consumption of workahol, right?

Well, I'm not really working all that much – but given that we're supposedly in a test-prep period, when I should have a reduced schedule, I'm working more than expected.  Curt's given me some extra jobs, and I'm sufficiently unhappy with the rest of my life, that I've taken them.

I've been working on making a "best of student work" bulletin board for our lobby. I've been doing "phone teaching" – which involves having students call me and try to have really basic conversations. The levels of success varies.

I've been working on prepping my next chapters in my self-made debate textbook. And I'm still doing the "CC" classes – basically, "noraebang 101." And because of this last… 

What I'm listening to right now.

Blue, "All Rise."  The kids seem to like this song, but it's hard to sing.

And also… 

Bon Jovi, "It's My Life." I think mainly they like the video for this, but they do well with the chorus, too.

    I guess I qualify as a workaholic…Put in 80 hours Thanksgiving week and still had the holiday off! There are only two of us on the extra board in SLO so we are working pretty constantly. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel…and it is NOT a train…it is being debt free.
    Making travel plans for next year…pick a week when it is comfortable (not cold!) in South Korea and I’ll finally come visit you! The trip to Paris just put sand in my shoes all over again, and you are number one on my list! In more ways than one, Love, Wendy
