What are you putting off today?
Projects and More Too many people think that teachers get the summer off. That’s simply not true. You see, we are not employed for the days we are not working. My particular employer separates our yearly salary into 24 checks, so I’m getting paid twice a month all year. At the same time, it’s like…
