Gather the courage to leave and go freelance. But try to work maybe 3-4 months a year, max. Just enough to get by. Then enjoy my life.

Definitely helps to be financially stable and have a safety net. If I didn't, I couldn't do it. But I'm in a spot where I really only need to work 25% of the time at freelance rate to sustain myself, so feels like the right move.

Get a job.

I just came home sobbing because I got too drunk at my female best friends house and her husbands male friend tried to take advantage of me when we were left alone in a hot tub. My boyfriend didn’t ask if I was okay but instead screamed at me, threw things and left the house. Dumping him is the only logical answer?? Am I crazy?

Anyone here have experience with schedules on a 20 day rotation? It’s my second year at a new very large elementary school.

Each week’s schedule is different for 4 weeks (20days) and then it starts all over again. 17 of those days I teach 6 or 7 classes and 3 of them I teach 5 classes. I’m terrified of this school year!

Would love to hear how others in this situation have dealt, especially with organization of schedule! I need to have the whole 20 day schedule visible somehow so I can plan

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.
