What about doing something contract, temporary, that way if you find it's not working out, there is an end in sight?j-lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332251772933635958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173932.post-1154450197122554812006-08-01T12:36:00.000-04:002006-08-01T12:36:00.000-04:00It's not so bad for teachers--well, not for me at ...It's not so bad for teachers--well, not for me at least. The year has its own rhythm that suits me; I love knowing I have 2 weeks here and 2 months there to do my own thing. My partner (works for the provincial govt.) is counting the days (okay, years) until he can retire and focus on making music full-time.

(i'm feeling a little overcast myself.) good luck, stuart. it's the juggling act of the century!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
