A Life, Lived

Working from Home with Cats

This was my experience!

Retailers

Hmmm . . . there might be a reason why no one wants to work retail these days . . .

Travel Tuesdays - Bangkok

In the summer of 2019 I had the opportunity to travel to Thailand to join 5000 teacher unionists from around the planet at the Education International World Congress.  It was a brilliant experience.

When you travel that far for a big meeting you build in some vacation time.

Here are some shots from tours I took.

Travel Tuesdays - Bologna

1o years ago I was in Bologna for work.

Here are some shots taken during my free time.

When English Teachers Snap

Even though it has been almost three decades since I was last in a classroom I do get this urge from time to time. The struggle is real.

Take Your Cat to Work Day

Yes, this is exactly how it would go.

A Teacher's Life

Travel Tuesdays - Winnipeg

Back in the before times and prior to retirements I always travelled somewhere in Canada at this time of the year to meet up with the senior education union leaders from across the country. It was a time to share 'war' stories, seek guidance, and discuss the common issues of the day.

The Manitoba labour groups were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike and the Manitoba Teachers' Society was celebrating its 100th anniversary so there was a lot of celebrating.

Why Didn't I Know About This?

It would have been very handy when I had all of those Executive memos to write.

Travel Tuesdays - Montpellier

9 years ago we offered courses for teachers in France and Italy. The first time we offered the courses I was able to travel and spend some time with each of the groups and spend some time auditing things.

These snaps are from our course in France which was offered in the Montpellier area.
