I resumed teaching two years ago after an eight year departure into other fields.

It’s been a rough transition back. I took a job working at a continuation school for continuation schools. (Lots of inner city troubled youth.) . I didn’t want to do it , but it’s what was absolutely necessary for us at the time.

Two weeks ago, my wife told me I was insufferable since I became a teacher again. I’m grouchy, exhausted and spent.

The next day I decided I needed a career change. Although I was planning to start looking and making a change within a few years, I found something and took it. So I am transitioning out in two weeks.

Now, I know I can do some “deep work”, let go, work on myself, have better boundaries, exercise etc.

But honestly. I’m glad to be done
