Many people have been wondering what exactly it is that I do. Well, here is a picture that illustrates exactly what I do for a living:
I got paid to go indoor rock climbing on Thursday. Sure, I taught some English along the way. But whatever, right?
Okay, so I don't do that every day. I do other things, too. This weekend, I got paid to take salsa lessons. Twice. I also got paid to watch "Desperate Housewives" and to eat Japanese food.
A lot of times, what I do is awesome for totally different reasons. Last week, I got paid to lead the activity called "The Birds and the Bees", during which I guided conversation about sex, culture, and values. Along the way, I also taught my students absurd euphemisms and slang, and that wasn't even my idea: it was written into the material I was teaching. Phrases like "hot beef injection" and "riding the skin bus to tuna town". I'm totally, one hundred percent serious.
So, in conclusion, my job is better than yours. Probably.
