I got my TEFL certification to teach English abroad. There’s always been a huge demand for native English speakers. It’s been a great experience because we get summer and winter breaks. Before the lockdown I went back home for Christmas and then spent January and February backpacking through Thailand.

My second uncle in a month died last night, so that's pretty awesome.
Overall other than having less options for entertainment we're doing just fine. I'm taking more time to get outside with the kids when weather cooperates. If it stops the drizzle shit this week I'm going to take the ones that want to camping for my boy's birthday.
As bad as things are, people can still get some positives out of this rona shit. [Reply]
It’s been awesome to see my two boys so much these last two months. My youngest will be around all Summer, but my oldest leaves in June. This is my last hoorah with him before he graduates College this next Spring. Cherishing these moments of quarantine Family time as much as we can. [Reply]

A lot less pollution has had some affect on weather. [Reply]
Well an employee where I work threatened myself and one other employee with physical violence. Problem is that his cousin is the VP and the HR representative and the VP is married to our supervisor.

Well, that sounds like a mess. Where'd the threats come from? [Reply]

He got verbally reprimanded by our supervisor. He thought it was because of the rest of us telling the boss. Well the one that did talk to the boss was not there. So those of us that were there got to hear about it and asked to step outside so he could settle it with us once and for all and took his shirt off and started marching outside.

That’s interesting. I know a guy that went to Japan to do that. I also know some teachers that do it online for decent money.
Why are you wanting out?

Did you laugh at him? I’d have laughed hysterically at someone ripping their shirt off. [Reply]

I was never going to do it for a long time. The other good part of this experience is that I’ll always be able to do this online part time as a side hustle when I get back to the states. [Reply]

No I told him he was a joke and if he was not related he would not be able to keep his job.
