Working Girl

Ok, the fun is over, I start tutoring this week. My first two tutorings start today. Some people think that I'm out of my mind for doing this, but I already did my numbers and by tutoring, I'm going to be making more than I was making in my last job. Not to mention that I don't have the pressure of writing reports, handing in lesson plans, dealing with nasty parents, inept bosses, disrespectful kids or having to handle a class of loud, wild and obnoxious little brats. But the most important thing is that I get to handle my working hours and if I can't make it to a class because I'm sick or I just don't feel like it, then I just cancel and no pressure. That is worth more than the best paying teaching job there is (I should know, I had that job for three months!!)
You know when they say money is not everything, I have come to the realization that is true. While I was making a lot of money, I was always moody and mean and nasty to people. It's amazing, now that I quit I feel so much better, like a weight has been lifted and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible. I'm definitely not a pleasant person when I'm in one of my moods and I'm usually in a good mood, but for the last six months or so, not even I could stand me. Always barking at people and very intolerant. That's not how I want to go around, I'm a nice person, generally speaking and I feel awful when I act like that.
