It looks like all teachers can get some free coffee every Monday at Starbucks in the month of September. I can't wait to get my first free cup on Monday

I've been thinking about going into teaching. This sounds like a good perk.

That's ok because the student's will be late because of the lack of busses.

That's ok, they're not missing much. At best they have 1 good class with a crazy teacher who teaches them everything, and at worse they have 5 bad classes where they get parked in front of notes.

So, what, you just walk in and go, hey I'm a teacher can I have some coffee?

Whatever....I'm an ex vet and feel that's a bushleague comment.

As an ex vet, i never felt I should get any special preference whatsoever, I was just doing the job that I was trained to do.

We get our perks here and there but should never expect it.

Hot chocolate too? And what kind of proof are we talking?

I don't mean to nit-pick, but how can you be an ex vet?

Add to the fact that students are arriving an hour late, they should both be bumping into each other as they enter the classroom

lol ... my bad. I was thinking two things at once and they seemed to amalgamate into one.

So.... I'm a vet...

[MoneyGuy]

Would one be a former vet after he/she dies?

You forgot Easter.

There can't be many worse jobs than a grade 7 teacher though.
