Always feeling underpaid, undervalued, because my time is invaluable. No career will ever be able to write me a check that is worth the limited time I have on this earth, and I think that’s why I resent the workforce so much; it’s audacity to put a price on someone's time and energy. And it’s … Continue reading

Being in the classroom for 2 years has been a rollercoaster, but helped steer me in a new direction.
