Profession: Teacher (primary school)
0500: Alarm goes off. Read the news for 5-10 minutes.
0510: Out of bed, making coffee.
0515: At my desk, coding one of my side projects or learning something new.
0630: Stop working, make breakfast for my wife, have breakfast with her.
0710: Shower, dress.
0725: Leave for work.
0755: Kids are in the classroom. Pandemonium for the next 6.5 hours. Each day I have two breaks (15 min in the morning and 35-ish minutes for lunch). If it's one of my two weekly plan days, I get another 90 minutes for planning/sitting in meetings.
1425: Dismissal, walk kids to the bus, watch everyone leave/get picked up. Head back to the classroom to cobble together the next day's materials.
1530: Out the door.
I'm applying for software developer positions - as much as I love teaching, I'm glad this will be my last year in the classroom.
