I love teaching. The hours between 7:30 and 2:30 are the happiest of my day. I leave my school cheering that the day went fine and that things are awesome. That being said there are some negative sides to teaching that I thought I'd list here:
1. Keeping track of school keys. If you have a swipe card to get in you can keep it in your wallet. Having to remember where your keys are especially if you keep them separate from your car keys is obnoxious. (mine are lost at this exact moment)
2. Colleagues that are less than ... what you expect of them. I have a few colleagues that are just enough off from my views that it's hard to interact with them. I don't chose to interact with those teachers, I chose to interact with those who are in line with my beliefs, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
3. It's hard to not spend 18 hours a day working on school stuff. Today I managed to avoid this (Krysta went back into the hospital yesterday for some tests and came home today), but it's very hard to avoid that nature.
4. My brain gets fried. By the end of the week after a day of teaching and 90000000 things to think about, you can be less than ready for thinking about anything else. This is the "yes mom I really want to talk to you, but even though I used to be able to drive and talk ad even though I've driven this route a lot, while talking to you I totally got off at the wrong exit and have no idea what we were just talking about" disease.
Seriously though? I'm doing something I love.

In fairness though, would it really make that much difference if you kept your school keys with your car keys? :p
