I have a kid on the way. My first. The plan is for me to take a year off to care for my child. It took a lot of math and it will require some belt tightening, but it is doable. And it couldn't have happened at a better time, despite everything happening in the US and the world.
See, since its the end of the year, I am currently playing a game called "be blamed for the failings of others." Seniors at risk for failing the quarter because they didnt turn shit in? My fault.
Kids trying to use AI to avoid the burdensome cruelty of fucking learning and applying themselves? My fault. Nevermind that admin are trying to roll out a whole host of AI bullshit for next year.
Kids only coming every 15 days? Somehow my fault. If only I had gotten a CDL instead of this damn Masters degree, I could go pick them up. What a bone head, amirite!?
I cannot wait to get the fuck out of here.
