Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying the summer. I return to this thread because it was here that I wrote "Dearwife wishes that I do a less physical job". I had one staring me in the eyes and I let it go last month. Well maybe I never would of gotten it but I didn't even try for it. The local college where I earned my diploma was looking for an instructer to teach home renovations. I worked costruction for 35 years now and my business is based on renovations. You needed a college diploma, see above, and I had previously taught a 5 week construction course at another college with good results as well. I was qualified to do this. Good benefits, good pay, steady work, climate controlled environment, there was no downside. Then the Parky Gremlin went to work on me. He whispered into my ear: If you get this job I will make the chalk fall from your hand, I will make you forget names, you will drag that foot in front of the class, you will screw up on the computer, you will fall asleep in the middle of a class, you are not as smart as your students, you will fall asleep marking papers, your parky paw is gonna tremor like never before, you will be the subject of bad jokes, and I lost the confidence required to even apply. I rationalize my decision by saying that my physical work that I do now will keep me going longer. True perhaps, but I think that the confidence sucker called Parky cost me a good opportunity.
