Which, after much hemming and hawing over light and time of day for recording a teaching demo, I did. I wanted to make a better demo, but given the tools I had to work with and the time constraints, I went with making a demo period. The point of it is to show I am articulate and personable. In that regard, I think I did just fine. I would have loved, however, to wow the powers watching the video and induce them to pay me more for the online instruction I've signed up to do.

Oh yeah. That's what this is about. Online instruction. Specifically, ESL. I need a remote job with a steady income and flexible hours. I need to not have to work outside my home during this pandemic. And I need to not work on my feet full time again like I was doing pre-pandemic (and pre-foot injury). In short, there's a lot that I need. I don't like taking shortcuts to get there, but I feel kind of like I did.

Could I have wowed? Yes, maybe, but again, I did the best I could do in the time and with the tools given. Now I wait to see what the fates decide about my voice and face.

If wishes were crypto . . .

Anyway, I'm here to say good job to me. I did a thing. It was a thing that was hard for me. Not for the reasons I expected, but still difficult. And now it's done. That's great!

Further, I popped on here and remembered to put up my Sunday hello. That's what this is. This here ramble. So, hello! And happy Sunday.
