In my current job as a teacher, I need to do many trainings. I like them when I can choose them freely. But since I only started in September and as a teacher you are an government employée, some of those trainings are imposed. After 20 years aft working in the field, some teachings feel unnecessary to me. Like the one I had this morning; it was about working with kids outside of school hours. I did that for a long while, why are those teachings mandatory. Sure, I am exempt to take part in 45 of the 108 hours of training because of my experiences and former trainings, and yet… some of those trainings feel like a waste of time. I could have gone to work this morning instead of staring at my screen, listening to the trainer complain about how much he hates Teams as a tool. Ah well… the next training will be better again, I am sure and confident.
Okay, on with some music
Day 7
A song to drive to
Rea Garvey – can’t stand the silence
There is something about this song and I don’t know what it is. When it comes on, I turn up the volume and really enjoy singing along in the car. It pushes me in a good way. It’s not a song that makes me speed or anything like that, I just enjoy it immensely.
Challenges like this showcase my weird music tastes that are all over the place. I can’t and don’t want to limit what I listen to. I love music because it makes me feel things, it brings back memories or lets me forget others. The genre is not important, although I have my to-go-to too. I like prog-rock and post-rock too. I like singer/song writer and indie and I have a huge spot for 80s music in the style of the Cure, Depeche Mode, the Cult, New Order… just to name a few.
But, what about you? Which songs would you choose in this challenge? It is never too late to join in on the fun…
