The last few weeks have been all about getting a job. I managed to get two:
1. as a telephone salesperson.
2. as a teacher's help at my school.
Me working at the phone job turned out to be a match made in hell. I'm trained as an advisor/consultant from my previous work as student's counsellor, so this job disrupted my night sleep so badly the first two nights due to ethical second thoughts that I decided to quit it yesterday. I slept like a baby for 11 hours last night :)
I'm starting on the teaching job tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to do this, since this is what I'm best at (at least better than doing sales over the phone). The course is "Digital Aesthetics and Communication", which is what I've working with the past two years at school.

I tried the new EyeToy for Playstation 2. It was quite funny, but my nephew of course only allowed me to help him instead of letting me try it alone - maybe another time. At least I for once didn't leave a console game with numb thumbs.
