I would love to be THERE! Where is this?

You sure? It’s raining sideways. I understand the people in the picture out walking their beagle, but the guy surf fishing to my right is up for a Darwin Award. I’m just chilling; reading and vaping my freshly steeped new recipes. Several will be made again

You must have a hurricane magnet on you.

Which is fine right where you are and all.

Katrina didn’t follow me to Houston, so I think it’s family reunions, not me

Fidola13, I'm not sure exactly what I was doing either. Somehow, (I know it didn't get listed correctly) they located me in North Dakota, which is not where I live not to mention emailing me some packet that too about an hour to complete (rapidly, without notice). Sigh. I'm trying to find part time work, and that was my first thing. I don't know that I feel so bad about it, I got to test out and deal with the (hard part) for me, which is all the audiovisual stuff, but honestly, my evaluation of their materials was like, "I would be taking money out of starving Chinese parents to get their kids "ahead" only what they are teaching... In my opinion of course, really wouldn't/doesn't work. I also feel bad about the idea the company would be charging like $60 US dollars for a 30 minute lesson.

I did have technical difficulties (which I resolved) and I'm kind of hopeful a company with a better reputation will schedule me and it sounds all NOT so horrific and etc. It was just an unfun couple of days.

It's really annoying FULL time jobs that I would actually ENJOY, like being a pre-K kindergarten teacher are like, all over my resume and stuff, but I can't work full time for a variety of reasons, meaning I am looking at these part time/contractual things that are very outside my wheelhouse and etc., but all the stuff I actually COULD do, they want full time.

IDK, I don't need the chaos and annoyance of all of it, but past a certain point (unless you are my husband) you just have to look.

Oh, it was useful and all, but I'm still left somewhat dismayed, and super cranky. I mean... Okay, doing all that stuff was "useful" in the sense that it may well prepare me for something else and whatnot, but I just don't know.

Husband is still gone. He must have been annoyed he left early and hasn't been in contact, it's kind of making me want to go visit the kid and etc. Sigh. But the kiddo himself is kind of fried/tired. I wish I napped. I would SO be napping right now.

LOL

Have you thought about substitute teaching? My daughter will have someone covering her Headstart prek while she’s on maternity leave. Pay is quite good. Better than what I got in private school

@stols001 ... is 511Talk the outfit you're interviewing with? A friend of my wife took on two pupils through them and after about six weeks, she quit. She said the staff at the company needed more English tutoring than the middle school aged kids she was assigned. They never got her payment stuff set up right and IIRC, they shorted her about half of what she thought she'd earned. Tread carefully.

I love the ocean and all, but when I see these big storms ... I think I’ll just stick with my tornadoes and blizzards lol.

I feel for you. So glad I’m retired! It was so depressing looking through the help wanteds, calling, applying, interviewing... always the worst part of the job was getting it.

 

[stols001]

Have you thought about substitute teaching?

Yes, I have applied to a couple positions and Tucson is gagging for substitutes. LOL, I could have a lot of fun with those little monsters, and the good part is once I reach my income "limit" as it were, I don't have to work any more days that month.

It's memorial weekend though, so the people making my life interesting are the "Chinese" companies, well, this one. IDK. The appeal of at home work is that if I have to travel to get my husband's neck surgery done, it would be easy enough and etc. However, substitute teaching is definitely on my list, and well, if we have to travel a couple months, I could just deal and etc.

I really am glad I started looking/getting motivated and I am FAIRLY certain that things will work out... In the time frame needed. Honestly, the hours overseas would suck. LOL, I imagine there's a few students I might even encounter that I KNOW from before.

Thanks for the suggestion, @NolaMel and honestly, with my income limits and hours limits, it's a decent gig (besides being a substitute, LOL, but hey, I'm fairly certain I could do it.

511Talk

Nope. Not them. I dug into the company a bit, it's kind of an "Uber" of a company in which they sort of hire you and then... Etc. I wasn't thrilled about it, but there is one ESL company that actually seems to know what it's doing. They were just the first ones to "schedule" me, but I've seen my share of "Uberish complaints about it." I've applied to substitute teaching and tutoring as well as student exchange support stuff. All of which I'm sure could work fine, probably better. LOL.

I got it. I just haven't flashed it to the mod.

I know that at least for SS, the coefficient was too high. So I trial-and-error experimented and found the right setting for my build. I'm in the sweet spot to sweeten all spots right now.

Gonna do some more reading on it. The webpage that attempts to explain what changed is near gibberish.

It looks beautiful. Not sure I would want to be there during a hurricane watch though

It’s just a little bit of a storm. More wet and bluster and bother than anything. Bored out of my gourd though. I’d rather be out walking on the beach. And Hubs is ready to resume surf fishing

Oh that sounds so stressful. I hope it all works out in the end and you find a job that you can enjoy. Just think of it as a trial run!!
