gloating teacher freovir: ok, it's not often that a teacher can say haha about anything, so I just want to say HAHA i don't have to work until September. Think about that when your alarm goes off tomorrow. I think i'll get up around nine, drink some coffee, scratch myself for about an hour before heading to the beach with my girls for the day. Right about when you are heading back to work from lunch, I'll flip over so I don't get too sunburned. I know it's a tough life, but someone has to do it.

Re: gloating teacher Lome: Where are you? I start back for pre planning on Aug 8....
poor me :'( :'( :'(
Re: gloating teacher LostTeacher: been off since july 1st....
don't go back officially until after the september long weekend....
but i will probably be in about a week or two before that. i didn't get anything planned before i left for vacation, because i spent all my time preping for a summer course that ended up getting cancelled at the last minute.
but i do say...this is the first time that i have actually looked forward to school starting...not used to having a whole summer alone. never had that before....not since i was 14 anyway.
Re: gloating teacher teacherwriterguy: Hey -
I don't know that I have any advice about the news spreading. When my decision to divorce became a 'done deal' I chose to announce it at my next department meeting because I didn't want to do it in a million little conversations. Of course, once people knew, the ones who cared came out of the woodwork and made sure you had the 'heart-to-hearts' anyhow.
In the end, I think I was grateful for the support more than anything, even if I kind of dreaded each of the conversations.

Re: gloating teacher teacherwriterguy: Look at it as a positive - the people who will come to talk to you really are reaching out in the interests of showing support and being good people.
It's kind of awkward at first, but ultimately - in my case - it meant a lot to me to get that support from my work community. I think that it's important during a divorce to rally around you anyone who is willing to show real support and caring. :)
Take the good with the awkward I suppose!
