Trying to Recap all this maddness. :)

As you know, I've been trying to keep track of my hours, but I kind of failed in November and December.  I FINALLY (today) went back and looked through my lesson plan book to compile and add up the hours I had recorded and to add in a minimum 8 hour day to the days whose hours I did not record.  If you've looked at ANY other posts on here you'll see that I VERY RARELY work less than an 8 hour day.  That's why I've chosen to insert 8 hours on days that I neglected to write down this school year.

The total for October 31 through December 22 was 305 hours.  Really, that's way less than I typically would work in a two month period for a few reasons.

1.  There are lots of holidays in there and even though I generally work on at least one day of a holiday break, I do work less. 
2.  My grandfather got sick on November 2 and passed away on the 11th.  I, therefore, tried to spend a lot of time at home and talking with my family. I was a bit distracted from school.
3.  I took three days off to attend the funeral 400 miles away.  From November 16-18 I was not in my classroom.
4.  I took a sick day on December 16. 

Now, the absences almost make up for themselves in planning time for a sub.  Truly, I probably spend at MINIMUM two hours prepping for an absence.

Alright, so how does all of this affect the hours?

I'm going to add the hours to the last total I did...at the end of February. Yikes.

END OF FEBRUARY (minus November/December)...
Total hours worked this year: 953.5 hours
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $46.97 per hour  

END OF FEBRUARY (including November and December)
Total hours worked this year: 1258.5 hours
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $35.58 per hour  

Pretty sure that the average nurse makes this PER HOUR that she works in a year...

sigh.
