Being an educator freaks me out because I never just woke, moments before my alarm, on Monday mornings thinking about what to reference during each lecture. Ugh.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

Happy Birthday!
