Money, it's a gas

Happy New Year! It's been a stressful month in School of Blogland. After taking a 5% pay cut and a major change in my job description, (public information) our revised budget with the $60,000 in cuts was not accepted by the state. We were apparently told that we need to make another $70,000 in cuts (???).

Meanwhile, we keep scraping the ice off the windshield and coming in every morning. The little victories keep me going, like my struggling student who wanted so badly to win a "burger with the works" (an idea I got from another school) he worked his butt off to write the best paragraph in the class. Gotta keep those moments like hand warmers in your pockets.

And keep reminding myself that I just have to make it to the end of this school year, and then we'll be moving back east, below the Mason-Dixon. Where my Master's degree can earn me a base salary of about 1.5 times as much as I'm making now.

I once overheard someone comparing money to gas something that just evaporates if you’re not careful. This hit home for me, especially when I was knee-deep in my management assignment writing help Managing resources, be it time, energy, or money, is like trying to keep a top on a pot of boiling water. You think you’ve got it under control, but it can easily spill over if you’re not paying attention.
