Hey: Just read online that there is an FT in a major city in Shandong doing 1 to 1 classes for Y40 per hour, groups for Y80 per hour.


Could be that he's doing whatever it takes to survive while perpetually on the run...

I think it's those ever increasing office hours combined with the new demands on the modern EFL teacher that pose the most serious dangers - to the FT's sanity!!!
Here we see a loyal FT in a large chain company trying to write yet another million word post to tell us how good his life is - he's just praying the company doesn't go over to sponsoring beefburgers since he thinks yellow suites him more than that shaggy yak look the company designers had been promoting during the last staff-meeting.

Sorry Jeff you'll have to look in the stud magazines to see pics of me - my pro name is "The stallion". But looking through my FT archive I have found one that I'm sure is you -

Your boss seems to illustrate a professional danger - as does the frantic expression on your face!!!! Was this pic taken at Kings or the car factory???

Where, I am enthralled to ask, do you get these pictures? They are wonderfully pleasing to the eye! True art!



No, they're not considered art per se unless the artist died an artistic death.

Just to illustrate, Vincent Van Gogh painted �Crows in the Wheatfield':



Shortly after painting it he shot himself in this field at the crossroads where the black crows are landing.

I plan to off myself one of these days... Do you think I should take up painting first?
