Hi WI -- Yes, I am trying very hard to do that. Teaching is perhaps my least-favorite way to make money. Not as bad as working for the Ding-A-Ling answering service, of course (yes, there really was a ding-a-ling, Shirley!). And considering how little I make per course, the $28/gallon gas price makes it barely worth the trouble. Plus it would have been smack dab in the middle of the day, at noon, and that would have ruled out accepting any potentially better opportunity that comes along.

Presuming, of course, that I can scare up said better opportunity.

Well, heck, at least I'm not working at Ding-A-Ling where the lunch break was 15 minutes, including time to go the the bathroom!
