The district is offering buy back days.. voluntary attendance at $225. It has to be at least 6 clock hours to get this sum. Is it worth a day of "off time"?
They can be very productive times to learn about new things at the school. Or they can be dreadfully boring and uncomfortable, not applicable etc.
If you choose to skip it, it makes you want to make the day you choose to to stay home more valuable. It also ups the antee regarding what you do. Is it worth 225 before taxes to get up and get dressed. Is it worth 225 to just laze around for one more day?
Is it a day to go the movies as Linzi used to do as tradition with her buds?
Can your work buy more productivity from you? If you go you will be responsible for knowing more.. and doing more.
All good questions. What would you do with an extra 160. Its a two day pass to Disneyland and 40 dollars of food or 40 dollars of gas.
It won't clean your house or do your laundry or get those things done that require a weekday 9 to 6 connection which are so tough during the year.
I am staying home. I am getting caught up. I am making phone calls to get our home remodeling project going. I am possibly going to Turlock to get some adjustments on the lift so that won't drag on every driveway we drive over.
Its time to clean the office.
Leave me a note about how you feel about buy back days.

Do you think that days are worth more or less depending on the time of year? I think Summer days are worth more because they have more sunlight! A day two-three weeks before the end of the school year is worth more because of the number of things that are crammed into it.
Sometimes a day off is worth any amount of money... and sometimes, wouldn't it be great to not only have a day off, but have someone do the work you need to get done that day? wow!
Extra money? In Feb. we got a retro check of about 400 dollars. I should have put it in savings or done something responsible with it, but I used it to reset my engagement ring, something I had been wanting for a lonnnng time. Maybe it was a little impulsive, but it catches my eyes at least once a day. It has provided a great deal of enjoyment, so I guess it was money well-spent.
It's funny how sometimes the cheapest things bring the greatest satisfaction. Look at how much we have enjoyed blogging this summer... essentially a "free" activity, if you don't our time.
