URGENT - READ THIS ADVERT, ITS FAT FREE!
Do you have a great sense of humour and an adventurous personality? Are you looking for an experience that you will remember for the rest of your life? Would you like the opportunity to truly experience Mexican culture with plenty of opportunities for travel? If you only answered yes to the first question then you should apply for a position with North Pacific English. If you replied yes to all the previous questions then you have to apply for a position with North Pacific English, or you�ll find yourself tossing and turning at night wondering what could have been.
North Pacific English doesn�t claim to be what it isn�t, but what we are is a small school where you will have the opportunity to personally interact with your students and make a real difference in their lives. Our class sizes max out at just 4 students so you�ll have plenty of time to get know how you can help your students reach their goals.
If you�re at least 90% interested apply and get the information package then talk to a current and past teacher and you�ll know why you�ll end up tossing and turning at night if you don't apply. Don�t let this opportunity pass you by. You're a mere click or two away so ignore that pain in your index finger and click-on.

And I'm a monkey's uncle.
I like how the second contract address has p overflow in it. Poo overflow is more like it... |

WORK FOR _________ LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN TURKEY
*The job doesn't suck! (exactly)
*Get those same humble conditions you're used to at any minimum-wage, high-school equivalency type McJob in your home country, but in an exciting, historic city where beer and cigarettes are relatively cheap!
*The job may get in the way of your social life, but not much!
*Learn to be a mercenary teacher by becoming skilled at teaching ANY LEVEL with ANY BOOK (or NO BOOK!) at a moment's notice with NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER!
*Visit thrilling and surprisingly expensive border towns in Greece and Bulgaria EVERY 3 MONTHS!! We promise we'll pay for it!! Trust us!!
*Meet really cool people who go away after a year, thus preventing the hassle of forming those troublesome close relationships
*Be the most popular girl/boy in the bar despite bummer personality, low IQ, or "an acquired taste" physical appearance!
*Learn an interesting but relatively obscure language that, despite what the natives tell you, is virtually useless outside of Turkey!
*Impress your friends and family with your blase attitute towards earthquakes, terrorist attacks, power cuts, or salaries that disappear to other countries!
*Sound like the job for you? Wander in to any of our centers throughout the many hearts of the city and we'll work something out!
*Experience, Qualifications optional. Pay starts at the same level for everyone, especially you silly Americans with suspect MA's from internationally recognised institutions of higher learning. |

I do try. Probably a bit too hard. Mostly I'm just putting off going home to do laundry. |

Intelligent laundry - what an awesome idea. Sometimes I wish someone would just come and do it for me. And while they're at it, do some dusting, clean behind the fridge (and hopefully discover the source of the foul and mysterious odour eminating therein), do some vacuuming, organize my closets...
Then of course I'd wonder why this person is doing my cleaning for me. What do they want? I just wish they'd leave me alone... |

that happens to me all the time.
I also bought a decafinated coffee table that didn't look anything like the real thing. |
