Work from home

work from homd reduces commuting time driving to and fro work caught up in teaffic jam.no need to dress in office attire but it takes a toll on mental health being cut off from lunch with colleagues or chatting to relieve stress.when work from home,no weekends.i just spent whole evening until past midnite on saturday rushing deadline on reports n worked through sunday morning when bloody wifi was weak n data lost in transmission due to not updating software.who says teaching is a cushy job with long holidays dont realize school is stressful.one day i can lecture 5 hours non stop with half an hour lunch break n toilet break.my vocal chords are strain n my brain mentally drained. im resorting to comfort food to relieve stress.or yesterday i blasted my zumba music despacito and havana full volume to dance like a mad woman after sitting down five hours typing reports. what biden say is true.teachers dont need praise but a raise.parents with two kids complain trying to get them to sit still n focus for an hour but i do that with 20 kids for three hours at a stretch n double as an entertainer to compete with the handphone surfing.ive seen colleagues getting cancer treatment and not taking days off to rest.the pay can hardly cover medical treatment which is so costly. im one of the last one in my batch still teaching to keep myself active but with pressure from demanding parents and kids,i m trying my best to keep my head above water.maybe theres a grain of truth in those who say its a career that doesnt pay but its a calling instead.
