Russ did a double take. <\/p>\n
“Russ,” I said to him our our weekly video chat, “I’m giving my two week notice.”<\/p>\n
He did a physical double take — the kind where his head swings to the camera with eyes wide open.<\/p>\n
He was gracious and kind and curious about what I was planning to do.<\/p>\n
“I’m going to be a teacher,” I said. “High school math and physics.”<\/p>\n
In the time that’s passed since then, I’ve said this a few times. I’m not quite sure what people think, especially when they hear that I have no job yet or that I won’t be certified until later this spring (if the test goes well).<\/p>\n
Just not sure what they think. Not that it matters. I find myself in a calm place with no remorse — no remorse other than working for Russ could have well been one of the best experiences of my professional life.<\/p>\n
Oh well. A new profession is on its way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
