Substitute Teaching During Covid

A friend was approached by a Nassau County school.  They wanted her to be a special sub in case a teacher needs to quarantine for 14 days.  The pay is a big $157 a day, no health coverage, no sick  leave and the job ends in January when a vaccine might be available.

This did not seem worthwhile to her and it certainly would not be worth the risk to me.  I guess, if you need the money, you have to take a chance.  Just seems like a gamble with small returns.

Surfers

With Covid 19 and not too many places to go, the beach is it!  It is so easy to enjoy the beautiful weather and to social distance.  I aslo spend too much tme with Photoshop

My First Attempt At Black And White

Also learning how to add text and layering.

The Student

In my old age, I am once again a student, taking courses at the UFT with lots of others retired teachers.  I'm trying my hand at Photoshop and, while the teacher is excellent, I fear his TDR would not be good based on my scores.  I am defintely a slow learner.

Today we learned how to work in black and white.  I was so proud of  myself.  I got rid fo the colors on this little cutie and then got her eyes green and her nose pink.  

 I also learned to work with text and fix the colors. 

I had a great black and white image of the above but forgot to save it.  Oh well, I'll try again next week.

Everyone who told me there was life outside of work was absolutely correct.  I'm starting to really enjoy not working.
