I started a teaching position yesterday. Once a week on Fridays from 4-9 in the evening teaching classes from four years old up to adults. In the first lesson the woman owner blazed in, squawked at the kids for five minutes and then left me alone with them for the rest of the hour. The lesson was boring. The second lesson she just gave me a textbook and left me with them. The adult class was the best as I could have an interesting conversation with them including a sarariman who was also a marathon runner and amateur Japanese chess player about things like the new pope, rally driving and the Aichi Expo.

The supernatural powers of the tie seem to be going into overdrive as I am now receiving offers for positions I`ve not applied for. I got an email the other day from my old employer offering me a full time position until March next year with visa sponsorship. This is great of course and I accepted it with full accompanying assertions of not being worthy but I promised a bloke I would work for him on Wednesdays. This man is incredibly nice but now I will have to say I can`t do it. I don`t like being a bastard.
