Roses remind me of my grandmother.

Done. You and Lenny can share the roses. There are more (I added a link).

Awww. That's OK. What kind of flowers do you like, if any?

strelitzia was the first I had in mind

I like flowers like like hm like... well... almost everything except some

It might be hard for me to find some of those around here so I'll have to see what else I can come up with. I have some Black-Eyed Susans and some Cherry blossoms and this (whatever it is)

 

[snowbear124 55]

Bye. See you later.

 

[sm4him]

Yep, I gotta go get ready for work as well.
Have a good day, peeps!

 

[snowbear124 55]

See you in a couple minutes!

 

[snowbear124 55]

Good morning, Lenny.

Whatever that is, it's pretty but mostly, I just really like the picture

Thank you. I took it at the US Botanical Gardens a while back. I think I see something different every time I go there.

Morning Charlie. How's your day looking?

 

[snowbear124 55]

Home, as usual on Mondays, but I have a spreadsheet to work on for the office. I could send it on as it is, but I want to make it easier to read.

Nice and mellow.

Mondays are my busiest days. Class from 11-1, admin crap from 1-5, class from 6-8-ish (technically until 8:20 but I don't give them a break and we leave early instead, so anywhere between 8-8:10 is when we usually leave.)

I'm going to have a similar schedule next semester, though it will start at 10 instead of 11, and it will be repeated on Wednesday. The good news is that I will have the other days off! Plenty of grading and that is always stressful, but at least I can do that work at home.

That does sound like a tough two days...but the other five days, and all summer off?

This semester, My Wednesdays are also 11-8, but just one class in the evening. And I teach on Friday morning as well. T and Th off. Next semester, I won't have the Friday class - it will be on Wed, so thus the two really long days with three days off. The two-day work week is certainly nice.

As for the summer, well it is nice to have time away from teaching, but what you may not realize is that I am adjunct faculty, not a public school teacher. If I don't work in the summer, I don't get paid. And even during the semesters when I am getting paychecks, I only get paid for my classroom hours. All the grading and planning that I do at home doesn't get compensated.

So those days off? I need those for the other jobs that I have to have to keep myself above the poverty line.

Welcome. Where, in Michigan are you? My lovely wife is from Monroe.

I live in the northern area of the lower peninsula, about 25 miles south of the Mackinaw bridge.

My bride was born in Monroe.

I've driven through Monroe.
