Update: If You See Me Posting on Workdays.....

No offense but you would think that technology advances would come naturally to a teacher rather than an old retired Cop like me who can barely use a cell phone.

It's because I retired from teaching a week ago after 32 years in the classroom.

Really bizarre to think about the technology changes in my career. I started by spinning CDs...and if I wanted a certain piece of music, I would have to stop at the record store at the mall! If you had told me in 1993 I would someday hold a small device on which I could play almost every known music, I would have thought you saw it on the Jetson's (iykyk).

I taught before EMAIL. I taught when we got paper checks we had to deposit in the bank. I even taught when teachers had "Cadillac" health care benefits (those days are gone).

So if I'm lurking in the day, it's not because I take too many days off or let my kids watch movies while I play around. Nope, I'm retired!

Congrats, enjoy.

LoL! I bought my first CD about a year or two after I graduated (1990). Before that I just owned vinyls and cassettes. I don't remember us having CDs in school. They were just barely starting to go into production. My friends and I used to make variety tapes, where we would dub songs one track after another onto a 90-minute blank cassette. I remember my math teacher in 9th grade used to play The Twist by chubby checker on a cassette on one of those single/monaural desktop tape players as we got seated....almost EVERY DAY! It was ridiculous!
