January 2010
Sometimes I just HATE being an adult
and having to make decisions.
January has been rough --
Sharon in the hospital and I can't stay all the time;
new grading scale with end of semester;
new classes;
old class with new ideas;
these were really
MINOR decisions
compared to the one that
I have to contemplate.
I've always planned to have both knees replaced
using up most of my more-than-220 sick leave days
before I retired.
I could do this any time,
but once I start my classes,
I tend to "fall in love" with them and
don't want to leave!
Now, I might not get the chance to use them at all.
SCOH is offering a "deal" to get rid of some of us
"older" teachers.
Last time an offer was made was 18 years ago.
This may be the only time I have a chance
to take advantage of some insurance help.
Catch is:
there needs to be at least 12 of us to take the
"buy-out"
and not more than 14.
Letters have to be in February 5th;
we won't know until the cut-off date of February 19th.
If there are more than 14,
the first 14 will get it;
less than 12, no buy out.
(I'd sure hate to be #15!)
If you want to hear God laugh,
just tell Him you
"have a plan!"
Think I'll leave it in His hands!
