Dog Days of Summer
I work in tech, not high tech, just tech. A small software company to be exact. The smallness of the company allows me to do an amazing thing: I have every Friday off this summer so I can hang out with my kids.
It could have been great.
Instead, I decided to chart a new course in my life. One that requires studying for a test in July and taking a course over at the community college. One that requires finger prints and applications to multiple agencies. A process that won’t come to a close until May 2010 – when they announce the cohorts for that year.
Last night Peter told me that no matter what I cannot quit. He said it’s the same thing he tells the kids when they’re hiking: the most important thing is to keep on going. I’ll keep on keeping on. But good grief – my lazy summer has suddenly become very busy.
Sounds exciting! Keep it up and keep us posted!
are you going into teaching? what you’re talking about sounds really familiar!
I spent last summer studying for a test, interviewing for jobs, filling out forms, getting fingerprints taken, etc. Totally glad I did it. But also happy that this summer I can take it easier.
