Maybe they can assign you to study hall for the year. (assuming they still have a study hall, I might be dating myself)
Mine too.Study hall and lunch were my favorite classes.
I'm right there with you, but I've got just under 3 to go. So, be glad you're not me. See, doesn't that make you feel better?
DW is a teacher and has one year until pension eligible. I told her I would also work another year. Every day is torture; I have mentally checked out. It's gonna be a long year.
If you could pick between working one day or a colonoscopy which would you choose?
No, I don't have to, and we have discussed it. I will give it the old college try, but may end up pulling the trigger anyway.Your wife has to work one more year to earn the pension--do you "have" to do this too to pad the nest egg? If not, does your DW know how truly awful you feel about it? Perhaps you can be a househusband for her last year or look for something else to do short term to earn a little money.
Why did you do that to yourself?
Why flog yourself?
Zombie-ing around for a year is corrosive for you and your co workers...not to mention the employer.
You can support your wife by house-husbanding [or some other helpful task set] for the balance of her work term and not abuse yourself doing something you hate.
