How are you today?

Exhausted, depressed and bitter.

I know I'm repeating myself but my current work situation is so horrible and unfair (high school teacher doing A LOT of overtime, no extra pay) I sometimes want to cry.

And it's not the ridiculous amount of work, it's the lack of time to properly prepare my lessons. Yesterday I gave a shitty lesson, the kids were bored to tears (and rightly so) and I was bitterly disappointed with myself.

That sometimes happens, MisterLove. I've had a few of those myself... Generally, I go in there trying to amuse myself and the students, but sometimes no amount of taking them to water will make them drink... Then I get angry at them for wasting the tax payers' money. Kids in other parts of the world would kill to be educated.
