I am now officially resigned from the Victorian teaching service. I did the deed today and gave in my letter. It's the closing of a chapter, I spent 6 odd years teaching there, with the exception of 2003 of course. I don't miss it and I don't think taking another year off without pay would've changed my mind. I really do like the job I have right now and I'm learning new stuff every day and the stress is soooooo much less.
