I Had A Career And Was A Person Once

M. D. Jackson said...: But you gave it all up to become a blogstar. You traded in your nine-to-five day for the heady, careless blog-and-roll lifestyle.

And we are all thankful for that.; May 30, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Belle said...: I'm sorry you feel that way Kal. But a career does not make a person. If it did then my sister and I aren't people either. We are both too sick to work - me,with mental problems; she, with arthritis and chronic fatigue.

We are needed to build roads, houses and rescue people on "Rescue Team". Liz does it much faster than I do. I never beat the clock (but they let you finish anyway). As Liz says, "Those houses aren't going to build themselves!"

God bless and keep (or start) smiling. Happy Birthday on Friday in case i forget.; May 30, 2012 at 9:36 PM
ISRAEL CARRASCO said...: I second what Belle said. We are not our careers/job. education or whatever. Character is greater than that.; May 30, 2012 at 9:47 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Why is everyone making me wait for things and not telling me??? The stress is killing me.

Nick Ward said...: Your job was - and still is - to motivate others.

You motivate me buddy and many others too.

That makes you more than just a person that makes you an inspiration.

Keep fighting the good fight you old beardy weirdy you!; May 31, 2012 at 1:22 AM

david_b said...: To the contrary, careers do define us, as a layer.

Being a military guy for 26yrs has shaped me to who I am.

To not have a career which shapes you is to not being truely devoted to it, thus in some respects a waste of time.

Not trying to stir pots.., just offering my two-cents.; May 31, 2012 at 6:15 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: That is an interesting way to look at it. Maybe just being CALVIN in my career and finding ways to force all these opinions and information out of my head is what I was always meant to do. I just do what I did in class only now I just do it through a computer...with a filter or the shackles of a curriculum to follow. Sharing what I know with a bit of humor thrown in. I am really not as complicated as I thought I was. Must be the aprocots in the smoothie.; May 31, 2012 at 8:24 AM
DrGoat said...: You look happy in that pic Cal, but I'm glad that you are fortunate enough to pursue what you want. You're part of my day and I thank you for that. I do share some of the sentiment that david does though. I love my job and the people I work with. It's a part of what makes me happy. Not that I wouldn't mind having the where-with-all to do what I wanted to.; May 31, 2012 at 8:27 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I was happy. I miss the kids and the good staff members who made the madness more fun. I am going to get back into substituting in the fall. No marking, no planning, no coaching, just babysitting and I can be the fun sub who looks like a biker.; May 31, 2012 at 8:29 AM
Belle said...: Glad to hear you are going to sub in the fall. We loved having subs in high school. It was a good break in the routine.; May 31, 2012 at 11:30 AM
