Underemployment

As you know, I have been unemployed lately. Well, things are looking up, cause now I am gainfully underemployed. I am starting a gig tutoring oral English to business people. The clients are mostly Korean or Japanese living here and wanting to brush up on their English for work purposes. It should be interesting. At least it will give me something to do and some income.

Other than that, today I kept on living the dream of a lady of leisure. I slept in until 11, believe it or not it's been a LONG time since I've done that. I then had lunch with a group of friends at a Chinese restaurant where were ordered too much - I think we had over 12 dishes for 6 people. The weather today is extremely nice so, now I am sitting outside on the rooftop deck listening to music, job hunting and breathing in the dusty, polluted Shanghai air. Later, we'll be grilling out on the deck.

Ah, underemployment, its underrated. (Not really, I'm just trying to make myself feel better.)

good samaritan

i did my good deed today when i was coming out of the supermarket with baby moc. as we were crossing the parking lot, i saw a man's wallet lying on the ground. i looked around and saw two men walking away from the area where the wallet was located. one man's back pockets looked flat so i ran after him shouting "sir, sir, excuse me, sir...". it took a few tries before he heard me and when i asked him if he dropped his wallet, he said yes. yay! good deed done for the day.
