Today I have to give an interview to advertise my elementary eikaiwas (language class). There are a couple things that I disagree with here.
1) My job description does not include doing these elementary eikaiwas, in fact it is illegal to have these classes without a professional teacher present. Which I am not.
2) The interview itself only has one question about the classes, the rest are all really dumb and really personal. In fact, one them was what was my biggest surprise or what I was in trouble with in Kimobetsu (the direct translation). I told my supervisor that my biggest surprise was my long drop toilet and the toilet crickets. She said I didn't have to answer that question.
Now it could be that I am still on a cultural low, or something. But all the no and wrong bells are ringing in my head. I do not want to advertise for my already full classes. And I don't want to just read off these dumb lines that a lady right now is writing beside me.
Okay, sorry for that delay. It has been translated. I have spoken my part. The lady seemed really friendly and excited, and she played back my little bit. I sound like the most boring person alive, or unenthusiastic. I tried. However, it is hard for me to act excited and enthused about something so ridiculous to me. And this really is the pinnacle. But it is done, and it will be played at lunch today. Yippee f----in skippy.
So stay tuned to your radios for my great part about the classes I shouldn't be doing and that I don't get overtime for doing, but come one come all...
sigh.
