I didn't eat just now

I am a teacher and I just received a call from a group doing a survey for the Nevada State Teachers Association and it really upset me. They are proposing a 6% decrease in teachers and state school employees salaries to fight the budget crisis. I already barely make ends meet what are they crazy. I would have to leave the state if that happens. I might stay until I finish my masters program but I could not afford to live here if they cut pay. We already rank 49th in the nation for money spent on schools I think they want to round the number up to 50th or something. Ugh!:sad:

But the best part is as soon as I hung up I went straight to the kitchen to find my old pal food. Instead I realized what I was doing and marched right back to the computer to type this post instead. Baby steps mis amigos.

congratulations on making the right decision.

If you have to move, come on over to Cali- my first year teacher pay was $45,500.

Way better than I was looking at in Reno, before we moved.
