Job Search

Okay, things aren't looking good, job-wise, so I just spent the last couple of hours searching the classifieds. Unfortunately, it hasn't been panning out well. At least I found out that I don't have to work in September to keep my health benefits up to date (phew). For those of you who don't know, I'm listed as a substitute teacher for the Los Angeles School District, and subs have to work a certain amount of time to qualify for benefits. And once we do qualify, we have to continue working to keep our employment status as current. Sounds complicated, I know.

Anyway, I think I teach English well, but I'm not much of a go-getter. I get a little sheepish when it comes to selling myself. I think that's what I'm going to have to do this week: swallow a confidence pill and be my biggest cheerleader. Wish me luck!

What I'm grateful for:

Japan

running water

an indoor toilet

toothbrushes

opposable thumbs
