Job Search


Hello people and sorry for the long abscence but I've been crazy busy. First things first - dad is well and already on his own completely. He is now completely autonomous and to paraphrase LL, doing it and doing it and doing it well. We are all happy and healthy and loving it.
I am on the market for a job, as you all probably know by now, and let me tell you there is work in BG. Tons of it. I've been going on about 8-10 interviews a week. I have days when I go to 3-4 interviews. It's crazy because I've sent out so many resumes that I can't keep track of what position I've applied for and sometimes it gets pretty comical. I went to this job interview and the guy wasn't where he said he'd be so I waited for close to 45 min. As I was leaving, I called his office and they told me where he might be. I found him only to discover that he was Italian, spoke no English or Bulgarian, the company sells (ugly) furniture and I'll be paid on commission only, oh, and get this, they have NOT sold a single piece of furniture since they came to BG which was in February. It was pretty funny, I thought.
As of tomorrow I will be a teacher at an English school for adults. That's right people, I will be teaching others how to speak English. Oh, the irony! I've already been there for two days, just observing how it's done and I have to say that I'm excited. It looks like a lot of fun. The best thing about the job is that it pays relatively well for BG standards, but even better is the schedule. I'll be working from 6pm to 9pm 6 days a week, which of course means that I can have a full time job doing something even more interesting. For now though, I'm just trying to learn the book. It's a Business English class for advanced speakers, only they are not all that advanced (but they will be when I'm finished with them).
I have to say that this job is a Godsend because I'm broke as a joke and I can really use the money. I'm still looking for something else to do during the day so I'll be ok, I'm not worried. Okay, this is it for now and I'll let you all know how things go with the new job. Peace out!
