Jobs

So, as Robin's already mentioned, we're teaching English now, about 15-20 hours a week. Unfortunately, if you factor in Bogotá traffic, the 7 AM start time, and the 8 PM end to the work day, the life of a mercenary English teacher in Bogotá doesn't seem quite so glamorous. Still, the schedule's flexible, the job's easy, and it pays a very good wage, relative to what most people make in Colombia.

Starting yesterday however, I've been taking a working sabbatical from my English-teaching sabbatical. Until the end of the month, I'm going to work as a peace profiteer and help the local Mercy Corps office write a State Department proposal. In addition to going back to regular 40-hour work weeks, I'm also making twice as much as I was teaching English. Cheers to having a little bit of extra spending money.

Speaking of, what should we do with these extra funds? Invest in an herbal Coca tea export company? Pay for Lasik eye surgery for Jerry? Have a second wedding because it was so much fun the first time?
