So bad

I have been lazy about posting lately. Maybe it is because I have less time, or less to write, or something else. I am not sure.

I have been looking into other jobs. I have a feeling that the place I am at now may not be open for much longer into the future.

I have an offer from one place, but the pay is TOO low. It is just going to start up soon, and I am kind of the "head" teacher, but the pay is really too little for the position. I told the guy I was talking to that if that was the pay offer, there was no way I could accept it. So, he offered me a part-time position, paying by the hour that is about the same as what I make now. We shall see about that one.

There is a lot of potential there, and he wants me to meet with the CEO/Datuk who has started this up. That worthy fellow owns and runs a university here in Malaysia. If I meet with him, perhaps I can get myself the wages I need in this new, and certain to be stressful, position.

I have also applied for teaching positions in Dubai. There is a need for native speakers of English to teach in Dubai. The pay is really good (double to quadruple what I make now), as are the benefits. I will have to send out more résumés quickly!

Otherwise, Felix is growing fast. He is walking very well! He is actually trying to run now, and getting himself hurt because of it. He has taken to trying to go very fast, which often results in tripping to the floor. Houses in Malaysia do not have carpet. The poor boy is accumulating a lot of bruises!
