Beach Day
Beach Day
I’m going to the beach on Thursday, so bring your lunch and come hang out. I will be at Carpinteria beach at 11 am if anyone is interested in meeting up there. Usually we park all the way down by the bathrooms and set up around there. If you want to and need more info, call me or email me.

Yes…as far as I know. Thursday is officially beach day!

I just got Nathan’s comment about working at a school and getting summers off (because he works at a school).
The downside is then you don’t get paid for those months though, so it might not work out that well…

sigh, why must jobs always be about the money?
June 24th, 2006 at 1:24 pm
Other schools still pay you through the summer but they just pro-rate it for you. You could always do freelance in the summer, you’d probably make more. I guess you need to get a 10-month a year job first, oh wait you do with all of that sick leave and vacation time.

If jobs weren’t about money I suspect most people wouldn’t do them.

of course, jobs are to earn money because somehow we’ve decided a person must prove their worth, or else they die of starvation. i just don’t know why money must be the #1 reason for getting a job so often. this job pays more than that job, therefore it is “better.” it’s only when choosing between multiple jobs on similar pay scales that the actual job and environment becomes important. well, i understand why: because we’ve determined that some people are better than others and the jobs they do should be paid more.

Yeah; I wasn’t saying, by the way, that I buy into that mentality, just that most people do.
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t even need money at all, everyone would just take care of each other and do the things that need to be done.
As for which job is better, I do agree that most people probably view it that way, because that’s what society has taught them to believe. Personally, I’m of the mindset that what you’re doing (and the environment, etc.) is much more important than how much you get paid, but I also recognize that society is structured in such a way that many people often have to choose a job that is not ideal in that sense because they unfortunately can’t afford to take one that they’d rather do.

or they choose to live in poverty because their standards for life-joy are appropriate.

JB- Ever read the kids book, “The Giver” by Lois Lowry?

No, but it looks pretty good; maybe I should check it out.
