Still in Athens...
And still no damn job! This despite Angeliki promising as in a direct quote being " I guarantee I will get you a job" NOT a happy little goddess here people. I mean, I like Athens nad all, after all it is my city but when you have very limited money and have done all the main sights and are rather quickly working your way through ALL the museums purely out of boredom it gets a but boring.
Went to the Cycladic Art adn the Beneki museums to day and the Byzantine museum for the second time yesterday although they did have a new temporary exhibit on ancient China so did get to see something new.
Am currently sending CVs off to any random school that's hiring both in and out of Greece. Had an interview with a school in Poland but need a work visa and have a feeling that I have to get that from NZ not Greece so Poland probably isn't happening. Have to call some director tomorrow for an interview and Angeliki is supposedly still talking to other schools for me... All the idiot directors are on holiday at the moment and Angeliki doesn't seem to comprehend that people from outside Greece don't necessarily come over with heaps of money and therefore have no problem doing nothing for a month while waiting for a) a job and b) for said job to start which is September at the earliest here since they go by the US school year.
The hostel I'm at is OK as far as hostels go but since there's no plugs in any of the rooms can only use my laptop for about an hr at a time before the battery dies and have to recharge it so can't even waste hrs playing suduku or solitare. Am VERY quickly getting through all my books which is very very not good since I didn't bring many with me.
BTW, before I forget and you start bitching at me, happy birthday Kaz. You'll get your pres when a) I buy it and b) I get around to actually sending it when I do buy it. In other words, don't hold your breath for getting it any time soon
