I was hired in Sidney, Australia! The interview process took a long time. First there was a group interview then a second interview when I had to make a lesson plan for any age group then a third and fourth interview two months later. Finally I was offered a position but not guaranteed the location.


I only know of Sydney, Australia, or as the Aussies call it Seedney.

[color=yellow]

At first I was hired to start in April but then the company called me and asked if I could start in January to replace a teacher who has to return to her home country.

How am I a troll? And what is usual about people from Sidney?

Bat person, if you are indeed from Sydney you certainly spell it in a curious manner...

David W, its not your call whether or not a poster is a troll, its the moderator's. If your entire purpose of posting is to simply point out that someone is a troll, it doesn't make you any better than they are.

Recently you also alleged that I was also a troll, on a now deleted thread. Yet every comment I made was an honest one. It only became a rant when others incited me. Just because you might have a job and lots of security in life doesn't mean everyone else who posts here does.

Both of us might be inclined to believe that bat 'girl' is a troll, but ultimately it is the moderator's job to do anything about it.

And bat individual, if you are honest in your posts and not here merely as a joke, all I can say is (as a non-religious well wisher):
heaven help you.

I think Bat Girl meant that he was hired whilst "in" a guy named Sidney, who happened to be in Australia at the time of the interview.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you referring to me? If so you must have me confussed with someone else. I have not posted anything on any other thread so I never alleged you were a troll or anything else! I completely do not understand why you wrote anything to me. Is there another Bat Girl? Nothing you wrote makes any sense.

I just want to get an idea of Japan and their attitude to people with my type of lifestyle. I never wrote anything bad about anyone or any place!

Now I think I understand you were writing to someone else. Still I can't understand why you think I am a troll. I have not written anything about anyone.
Why in the world did your write heaven help me? God made me what I am so why in the world would I be punish for being as God wants me to be be?

Bat Girl

I think the main subject of your post got lost somewhere in the shuffle of people inquiring about your interesting spelling of Sydney (Sidney) and someone calling somebody a troll. This is not an uncommon occurance.
I don't think King of Babylon was not referring to you as a troll but to someone else that shall remain nameless.
To get back to your initial question...
...Don't worry about other people's ideas and perceptions of right and wrong, normal or abnormal. Try to focus on our own perceptions of people and the world that we live in.

Take care of yourself and intern you will take care of others.

From one superhero to another... Very Happy

Bat:

My last post was not only to you, but to someone else. I was actually being supportive of you against another poster whom I find very arrogant.

This is not to say I am not suspicious that you are a troll. If you are who you say you are, you are certainly lucky to be alive. If a man dressed as a woman tried to pick me up and (I highly doubt I'd be that stupid) succeeded, he'd soon bite the concrete. And not all men out there are as compassionate or merciful as myself.

That is why I said 'heaven help you'. In case you didn't notice, I added (as a non-religious well wisher). I am an atheist, always have been, and am relatively open minded. But there are limits.

Good luck in whatever your pursuits are, but don't think it'll ever be an easy ride. My advice is keep your lifestyle a well kept secret.

Anyone who lets himself be pick up by a dragqueen subconsciously wants to be picked up. I have seen some very beautiful dragqueens but can tell they are not women! The throat and feet are physical signs. And no matter how much I and other drag queens try we will never be able to move our hips just like a woman does. Never!

Anyway, I still fail to understand how I can be a troll. I have not said anything about anyone. I just wrote about myself and asked how will I be accepted in Japan.
Thank you spidey for the kind and thoughtful post!

All right Bat, you're the expert on drag queens. A confusing bunch...

It was hard to believe you mainly because of how you wrote about yourself, it just seemed like even your own life is all a big joke to you. You certainly provided a bit more information than you had to, which doesn't do very much for your credibility.

As they say, even Alexander the Great was bisexual...
Its really up to you how to live your life, but some people just sound fake, as if they're just here as a joke.
It gives the serious ones a bad name too.
