Just a Sunday

Well, the weather is not communicative enough to do something else
but sit and browse the Internet, tracking down all ‘English teacher
needed’ adds in the country and boosting my ego-self with the fact
that they need me and I can say no. Bear with me, I have my reasons.

Another thing is that I signed up for Italian lessons. I will have
lessons Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7.30 pm to 9 pm. The time is
a bit late but if I can pull a group for my 5-8.30 pm slot, that
will be worth it.

There will be coming a few more people for an interview/placement test
next week. That will make me a couple of hundred litas richer, so I don’t mind.
I have only one slot free anyway, and that’s morning time. I’ve got
a few colleagues in the same business, so we share students we cannot
timetable ourselves. So many people woke up to find they need
lessons after 5 pm! This time has been booked since August, for that matter.
A rude awakening for some folks who still don’t get the importance of
private tutoring and expect to have a private tutor at their door whenever
they wish. HHAHAHHA!!!

Next, there will be a conference for business English teachers in Vilnius.
That’s on the 9th of September, a Thursday. Some people think
other people don’t have to go to work, eh? This publishing house
has been organizing their events on working days for I don’t know
how many years, that’s so embarassing. However, it’s better than
having to come on a Saturday. The point is, WHO IS GOING TO
COVER YOUR CLASSES?

Yada yada yada.

    You are such a moaner! Stop complaining and get on with everything you achiev e or experience or whatever…. And worry less about those theachers who are away for the course purpose, there are other teachers’ that will cover their lessons!!! Gosh… grow up…

  2. To n/a Says:

    Dear n/a,

    the problem is that there are no, NO, en-ou, teachers to cover for absent teachers because others have their own lessons to do. Nobody wants to work in state schools.
