Close enough.

It looked good since they would provide a visa for US citizens which is unusual for jobs in Europe... meh. It's probably owned by a creep anyhow.

A friend of mine once took up an ad on asking for 20-something women for a girlband like the Spice Girls

And so for the first, like, three weeks, all the manager did was make them learn to dance and pay them. My friend was distraught because all the other girls were mean to her and kept telling her to leave so she skipped practice one week. That was the week that the "manager" tried to put them on a plane to sell them in another country and the other girls revealed themselves to be FBI agents.
 
Well...good thing I never chose to teach English as a second language in Korea as per my mother's request. Kids would have hated me.

Kids don't necessarily need hate, kids need fear.

First day in school. First day in class.

"Right you little maggots! we're going to work and not talk do I make myself clear?"

I've heard of stuff like that (promising women a job, then selling them.) The FBI part sounds like something out of a novel though!

Did they ever apologize? I feel like I already know the answer.
 
some dicking around before I go to bed, for all those who are going beyond Jan. for RP avs. ;

I used to walk in on quiz days and say "Alright, class. I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions. And I want them answered immediately!"

They never really got it.

What? When did I perv? At most I suggested that Sentry has a certain fondness for Plywood's avatar.

I meant that, for everyone I referred to, in the best possible way.

Oh man, if I had tried this when I worked in Japan I would have been fired in a heartbeat! I could never punish the kids or even talk a bit harshly to them.

Whaaaaat?! All I did was torture the little darlings with permanent markers. I didn't do rewards. I did PENALTY GAMES. :D

My boss was very strict about this because the children's parents were paying for the lessons. If the children are unhappy, the parents are unhappy and they won't come back. So I had to do whatever I could to make them happy. That was pretty much my job.

Age 21 - 24.

It all makes sense now.
 
Ah good even though Dev is no longer with us, she is still among us, and I have not forgotten!

It just took a while to find the camera...
 
Why does this not shock me?

It never shocks anyone, really. ;P

Makes sense. A shame they made you cater so much to the kids. Some students require a firmer hand, and teaching should not equal babysitting. :P Can I assume that if you're looking at ESL jobs that you want to head back to Japan? Or is this a local gig?

That's brilliant. Perhaps it could have done with like an area around the lens where a hole has been cut out of a box. It would have made it complete.

Still, it's bloody good.

Since I've already spent three years in Japan, I'm kind of looking for something different (if I go to Japan it feels like I'm just going back over the same ground again.) I want to try Europe, but it's a bit difficult with the EU business and all.
 
Haha. My family is the opposite. They all think I'm anorexic or something and keep telling me to eat more. I will not go back, dammit! :P

I decided to gain fifteen pounds over the past coupla months, and my momma still told me that I'm getting dangerously thin. Weight's coming back off now, out of spite.


When you see it...

Thank you for being the first person to ever white this phraselet and not make me feel somehow racist about it.

I keep going back and forth about how much I want to weigh, but I think I've decided to just maintain my current weight. I'm 135 now (at 5'7" that's pretty average.) At my lightest I was 125 and at my heaviest 155. I'm pretty much right in the middle between being fit and average, so I feel quite nice the way I am. The only thing I would wish to get rid of would be the bit of stomach I have sticking out, but if that means getting rid of everything else, no way!

What's your height/weight (if I may ask)? And, I hear you on the mom thing. The more they tell me to eat the more I watch my weight to make sure it doesn't go up. :P

Yeah, it's dangerous to loose the weight because other fun bits seem to go with it. 125-135 also sounds about perfect for 5'7" to me.
