asked the bearded man with a cheeky smile on his face and a wink in his eye?

“I don´t know about that”, I replied... hmmmm....

“But, what´s stopping you, you are retired and have time on your hands? And, by the way, the money is very good”.

Ah, money, money, that was my biggest concern as I am not really allowed to earn any money – not officially anyway! – unless it´s handed under the table so to speak! scold

So, I had an idea, why can´t I offer my services for free, since it´s a job I very much enjoy doing and I would be doing it for humanity? dunno

Ok, says the bearded man," first bring me your CV and then we´ll discuss the money, and the hours"

........ fast forward....


Today I went to see the bearded man who seemed very happy to see me. I handed my CV in and he was very impressed. But, he still insisted that he needed me a few times a week because teachers of foreign languages were hard to find and I was the most qualified – and available – that he could find. smile

Moral of the story: This is all about being in the right place, at the right time, and with the right people.
I was helping some French friends to enroll in some Spanish classes at the local school when I was offered a job as a teacher for some little kids who could hardly put two words together. Since I didn´t want to be held responsible for their illiteracy, I accepted, starting in November. applause cheering


Now, for those with wicked thoughts, sorry to have disappointed you! scold laugh

secretagent09: I could but tomorrow you would hear that I'm in CS jail.
Only if you can see the naked bodies through the doors but...
If there is so much steam you can only see the shapes of the bodies.

That wouldn't get you in jail would it?dunno

And all this for Snowy? Is he really worth it..I wonder?roll eyes

I was wondering where your story was going Dani but i had a fare idea you were provoking abit laugh ..
There's no harm in making a bit of extra money under the table or off the books so to say, or not giving the govt their cut... i do it all the time here, and you will learn the craft of dealing with such employers.. me i push the bounders all the time and pretty much now i make at least half the conditions of my employment, i work when i it suits me.. not have the employer calling all the shots..

Now...I've had another job offer...

To train some vicious dogs!

But not from the bearded man this time.

This a true story: an English lady wants me to train her pit bull terrier. ..
And maybe others too. banana

Are you going to take on training that dog ? and what does she want you to teach it ? pit bulls are pretty scrappy dogs, it could be a mission training one of them.

Obedience training of course!
He's not a circus dog! laugh

He's only a 9 month old pup.
She's coming tomorrow.

What Do you think I should teach him for the first lesson?
To catch a ball or ...to juggle?laugh

michaelright: of course I know that ,,, although without doubt your thread was written and designed to net those who thought otherwise, which proves your naughty thoughts,,,
Well..you've got to bring a bit of fun sometimes. Threads have been too boring lately.

Who hasn't got naughty thoughts Michael?
I know you're not a saint that's for sure! wink

Had a little think about it Dani and maybe teach it to sit and stay first, there are a lot of things to teach a dog.. one of the most important things is to teach it to obey voice commands, there is nothing worst than having your dog bolting after a cat and running out on the road.. or having to chase after your dog in a park because its got no ears... and pit bulls are a fighting breed so teaching it to tolerate other dogs and animals (cats) mainly in cities, would be the best for the dog and the owner..
