In which Gainful Employment finally beckons, to the relief of some.
So what do travelling (unqualified) English teachers do once they get back to the real world? Well, they teach English, if yesterday's informal-chat-followed-by-job-offer is anything to go by! Yep, from Monday I will be back in the world of The Employed - which in my case will be the world of The Unemployed, helping other people to become Employed, by teaching them basic English and Maths.
Consequently I will also be back in the world of Having Money (hurrah!) albeit not much of it, as I've still got Beatriz to support:-) She's doing well, generally enjoying the Sheffield life (curry, rock climbing, pub quiz on Tuesdays) although she's feeling frustrated that she hasn't found work for herself yet. If anybody out there wants to give a Work Permit to a highly skilled, experienced Computer Systems Engineer from Argentina, please let me know!

My name is Carri. I'm a screenwriter in Los Angeles, California doing research for a TV program on the sleeping habits of children all over the world, ages 6 to 12. I'd like to include children from Argentina. I'm wondering if you could help me. I'm specifically looking for where children sleep (In the same bedroom with other siblings? What do their rooms look like? What are their bedtime rituals? What do they dream about? Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction and provide some colorful anec-dotes? This is meant to be a sweet piece on children, for children.
Please email me at ckaruhn@msn.com.
thank you.
Alex, I really hope you weren't sleeping with children in Argentina...
Anyways, CONGRATS on your new job!
Hi The Alex,
Congrats on your new job. I do a bit of literacy support too.
Here are some literacy websites I like.

Hi Alex, this is your long lost friend, Nina, from Mendoza and I will sign a sworn statement that all the terrible things you say about Argentinian food are absolutely true.
As for as the children and their sleeping conditions, the children of parents (and by children I mean those up to at least the age of 29) sleep in twin beds in the same rooms as their siblings until they get married. And no they don't have tvs and computers in their rooms. there is only one tv in the whole house.
