Sometimes Things Work Out

I film pen reviews for YouTube. So, yesterday, I had a not fun day at work, so I decided to film 4 pen reviews in a row. I decided that the one I actually post on Thursday (the day I aim for) would be the Reform 1745. While I was using it at work today, someone asked me about my fancy pen, so I explained it was actually a student pen. And then I thought, "Why didn't I include that in my review?"

I hate to waste time refilming a review. However, when I got home just now and started putting the review together, I discovered that only the document camera side of the review was filmed. Apparently, I jiggled the "record" button on the other camera and only caught 3.5 s of the review. So, unless I want only document camera footage with its awful quality, I'll have do that review over. So now I can include that information!

So it all works out. Instead, I'm going to upload a review of a donated pen, the Esterbrook J.

Well....one does numb all the feelings. Oddly, the students aren't what frustrate me about teaching. I even can understand (if not agree with) the parents. But, then there are the professionals in the field.

At least doing 4 reviews leaves me with more mental faculties than all the ethanol I could have happily imbibed that night (and, honestly, tonight...again the professionals).

Maybe I just need to teach in a one-room schoolhouse! (Of course, there would still be school boards...grr!)
