...as long as it's MTA-compatible. Have you heard of any openings?

Things are slowly loosening up.

Positions seem to fall into 2 categories:

Good job, decent pay in return for flawless experience and work record:

OK or substandard job for lowered pay for everyone else

But Manhattan is not the dead zone is was a year and a half ago.

I'm not ambitious at the moment, I just need to pay rent, buy food etc.

You can take my job. I've had enough of 7th and 8th grade crazy Russian children with attitude who won't be quiet and hit on me outside of class.

Just finished a teaching gig.

Hitting on you? In seventh grade?

You were teaching in Brooklyn, no?

No in Queens.

You mean this happens in more than just MY school??
I don't understand. The kids know I'm older than them and not interested in dating a 13 year old, yet they still hit on me!
Why G-d WHY???

Thou shalt not question adolosecent male's hormones.

Is that one of the Ten Commandments?

Yes, my child

Oh man! I should go back to school. They didn't teach me that one! They've been lying to me all this time!
That one about "bearing false witness" never did sit right with me.

Isn't it a little disturbing to have a 13-year-old anything thinking he's found a chance to score tonight or something?

What on earth do they SAY?

<snickers>

Mostly its "harmless".

Sometimes they walk up behind me and put their arm around my shoulder - that's always fun. I yell at them for that.

Its also fun when they ask if they can brush chalk off my shirt. Even more so when they ask if they can pay me to brush chalk off my shirt, and then proceed to take out some change from their pockets.

My favorite was this week, one of my students was talking to me as we were leaving school... so far so good. It was harmless untill he said "Morah, you know I was thinking about you over the weekend when we wern't in school..." At that point, I say, I'm sorry we're not having this inappropriate conversation and I walk away...

Thats not something you EVER want to hear from a student.

Maybe you should explain next time, instead of brushing him off. He'll probably respect you more.

That's not as bad as I imagined it, but, yeah, the inappropriate conversation bit was definitely something you want to nip in the bud....

that's nothing. wait till they're in college

Bump.

when i was a junior/senior in high school i used to hit on substitute teachers. havent done it since then.

but if politico were my TA then maybe...

why just the subs? at least with the real teachers you might get a grade bump out of it

join the club

my french teacher had a crush on me and my dad always said i should have slept with her so i wouldnt have to take tests. i hope he was kidding.


where does it meet? do they sell posters?

Your DAD?!? DANG!@! Had my father ever said anything REMOTELY close to that ,I would have gone into shock!

of course they do - i'm a pinup TA

yes my dad did say that.

and politico- can i buy it online?

if you can find it

oh and to whoever is looking for a job, you could always be a jigolo.

A female gigolo? Do I get to drive a pink car and stuff?

huh? do u know what a jigolo is? its a guy who lonely women pay to go out with them. soometimes dance with them. hence JIGolo

A gigolo is a male escort. JIgolo is not a word.

I think they do more than just dance.

I'm sure he knows. I think he thought he was talking to a BY Toronto girl

blue- what areas are you interested in, and what not?

Dance? How can they, if they're not married?

MS went to BY of Toronto.

hey watch what you say about Toronto girls!

it's with a g, even in the nick cannon song. i'm pretty sure it's from the same root as "gigue," a type of triple-time dance (as in pachelbel's "canon and gigue").

I'm still laughing over the Jake's attempt to explain it to me

Got a problem with Toronto girls?

At current exchange rates they are only worth 80% of an American girl.

So canadians are not 100%?

not at all. i love them so much that i felt i was too beneath them to even consider marrying one of them. then again, i'm from the 905 who would've wanted me?

they should really start a tv series called the 905, like the OC or BH 90210 - follow the trial and tribulations as the kids struggle over which BY to go to (C"VS they would consider Ulpanot) and NIRC vs. ... well, nothing. it'd be fascinating.

905?

you've been posting in every thread over the last 24 hrs. and you haven't come across the "905"?
read the BY bashing thread.

1. Found job
2. I must say, I love walking through Williamsburg on my way to the bus home. It makes me miss Israel.

YOU WORK IN MY HOOD????? PM ME QUICK

I do. No time to run off and meet people in middle of the day though...

Invite her for dinner.
