with these precious pookems all day long I would say this is how I feel. After 25 years, I am hitting the road. At least I can make serious money the next 5 years to make up somewhat for being underpaid all those years. Why did I do it...I loved my job. Why am I quiting...I don't enjoy it anymore.

I'm sick of hearing people who do nothing (or next to nothing) to educate their children complaining about how "bad" our schools have become.

I just got into an argument with a friend about how "bad" his school district had become. It ended with me telling him that by the time I was his child's age my parents spent as much time reading to me as he spends letting his daughter watch TV every week.
