DECISIONS

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!
