Friday buzz
Interesting times, indeed. A lot to look forward to. First up, the delivery of my new netbook next week. Another toy to play with. Then I am off to China for three weeks working as travel guide for a language training company and in September, I will be under the knife of a surgent for a gastric bypass. To put it simple, life is sweet at the moment.
I recently found out I am likely to lose my job this summer, which both feel good and bad. I love teaching and I am quite sad to leave my students. But unemployment doesn't always have to be a bad thing. I can see this is a chance to try something else for a while. Well, times are hard at the moment and it won't be easy to find a new job, but I have enought confidence to think that I will manage. My CV is long and I have a lot of experience in many different areas and I am a terrific guy who is easy to like (true!). In fact, I am rather used to being offered 4 jobs out of 5 after job interviews. I am thinking I would like to work with people and show off my service skills, but at the same time work with technology and electronics. So I am looking for a job as an in-store salesperson at a big warehouse for electronics.
This week has been exciting. A couple of weeks ago I got an article published in the local newspaper, critisizing our local politicians. The article ended with a sarcastic and ironic invitation to all local polticians to come visit me a day at work in a public school. One politician replied. So yesterday I had a politician beside me at work. I was really nervous about that at first, but it turned out to be a great day. I reached my goal with the day - to get someone who can change things to see what it is like "out there on the field". My collegues now treat me like a hero :) I don't think this has been done before.
And now I am going out for a beer with my collegues. So..bye!
