Long story, short, my 14th year of teaching, and I've loved every bit up until the last few months, and starting to find that the enjoyment really is being sapped out of the profession. Extra admin jobs (ie inputting all behaviour incidents, even minor, on a daily basis, usually at 8.30pm after kids have gone to bed), being told 'how' to teach (ie have to follow crap lessons the Ed Dept have made that don't carter to all students), dealing with behaviour that I just have to shake my head at followed by dealing with parents who refuse to acknowledge their child could make a mistake, could go on. Wife has pulled me up a couple of times for snapping at my own kids over little things (I'm just 'kidded-out' by the end of the day). Just getting over it. The in-class stuff when I get to be myself in the way that I teach, build relationships and watch some kids grow is awesome. The rest, I feel done with. Debating whether to take some LSL for a re-fresh, or take it all and just not return.
Saw an ad for a job I felt I could do quite well, in a different field, but one I'm equally passionate about. A teaching degree clearly wasn't involved or needed, and the degree that was input as a 'desirable' I obviously don't have, but thought my passion for it could take me a long way. Wrote an application, but chickened out and didn't send it. Starting to get a bit of regret at not at least throwing my hat in the ring.
With a mortgage and two kids, re-studying for a three years doesn't sound all that appealing when I feel I have skills that could be transferable. Just wanted to see if anyone else had changed industries and how they went about it.

I have a 7 zone and 9 outlet system with one of those zones being a continuous zone.
It’s a big unit with 16.5kw cooling.
My solar app which has always been pretty accurate shows I’m using 6.5kw regardless of which zone I have on.
My biggest zone is the living/dining area which is 6.5kw.
My smallest is my office which is 1.1kw.
I’m home and only running the office zone but my app is showing I’m using 6.5kw.
My understanding is that it should be using my office kw’s of 1.1 plus my continuous kw’s which is 1.2kw.
I am wrong here or is my a/c playing up?

Have you ever run below 6.5kW with the unit on? It may have a VSD that won't run below a certain capacity.

This is the first summer I’ve worked from home and had the app so just checking it now but does appear no matter what zone I use it uses 6.5kw. If I put on 4 zones that total 12kw it goes up to 12kw.
So it does appear to not go below 6.5kw as you’ve mentioned.

Means the compressor won't operate below 6.5kW then. Easy done.

It’s an expensive way to keep cool in my office at home.
I guess I can turn kids bedrooms on as well to keep cool as it won’t cost anymore
Thank god for solar as well which is producing 5kw currently
