This is either a joke, or the anthropomorphization of self loathing.
Or the long awaited surfacing of that underground movement aiming to keep FT salaries in China low. |

It's probably someone Chinese trolling. How many people who haven't been to China would consider using the word 'so-so'? It's such a typically Chinese word. |

robynn probably succeeded in sorting out his confusion over where Dongjing is; he found out that it's not in China but in Japan - hence the pronunciation is Tokyo! Thus an urgent need to delete his post. |

Basically it said something along the lines of:
I am a so-so teacher working in Dongjing, Japan. I really am not a great teacher. I do not want a highly paid job I just want something I can do coasting along without too much being expected of me."
It is fairly certainly some idiot from the CHina Daily with a grudge against FTs. I didn't pick up on this straight away of course, annoyingly. |

Even if it is a spy: the easiest jobs are poorly run adult language mills. You may not: always get paid on time or in full, get joy in the work, get along with your coworkers, like the students, be respected or care.
You will usually have mornings free. |
