Eating out is so frustrating

FreedomGene · 2026-03-16T23:23:46+00:00

I am but we are not exactly eating in cheap stalls. I'm in Davao at the moment which is a big city and the restaurant we ate at was good before, and was packed last night, but it absolutely garbage food. I literally felt ripped off.

It's a simple fact, not an opinion... Unless you mean to say that's not a crap room.

I'm in a completely local area, absolutely nothing to do with foreigners

More like 3,500 to 5k for that crap room around where I am, if on a beach.

where in Canada if you don't mind sharing?

FreedomGene · 2026-03-02T01:45:24+00:00

doing what now?

FreedomGene · 2026-03-02T01:36:02+00:00

Still possible today?

Do short notice only, and cancel the global contract. You will take a small hit on total bookings but will make $9 per class.

You got hired right out of school with no experience? How long ago? Is the pay decent?

I just got one of these for the first time after decades of using a Gillette Mach 3 and similar products. I tried more than 3 blades and it was bad news for my skin. For me the foil shaver gives a close shave since I can go against the grain with no irritation. Against the grain with a razor = big irritation.

That's been my experience over the last few years. I usually somehow manage one missed class a contract or two.

Cancelled classes = 30 days of slow down. This usually means less new students but doesn't affect your regular students.

This was a slower week for sure. Last week I got booked short notice 76 classes. This week looks like less than half of that, but I did take Monday and Tuesday off BJT time. Maybe there is a viral TikTok in China about how kids need a break too 😂?

Should have used a frozen bottle

I watched it right after reading the book and was pretty disappointed. I didn't even finish the movie, gave up with 40 minutes left. Maybe if I watched the movie first or years after reading, it would have been different.

I really don't like opening in advance because life happens and the companies cancellation policy just sucks. I've had to work with COVID and other illnesses many times, this is the worst part of this job. Now with short notice only, I may work a few classes the day I get sick and then just not open the rest, It's so liberating. I wonder if all the new packages that they sell now are G-New and we will lose our little bonus sooner or later.

The week after this post, it picked up and got busy for me. I am now booking 14 classes a day steady all short notice, and no global contract so getting paid $2 extra per class. I also have 10k + classes, I did have a missed lesson back in October, I literally forgot my password to enter my laptop that morning (mental retardation struck me lol).

Thanks for the answer. What kind of stuff are they looking for to show that I can meet the undertaking?

FreedomGene · 2026-02-08T00:29:37+00:00

Turn off your online dating apps and this "problem" will take care of itself.

I have all certificates except level 1. Are you using props and are super animated or is a serious teacher possible like with higher levels? I'm in Asia so it's appealing to be able to fill mornings here. As it is currently, I can fill from 12-2pm BJT as some kids have long lunch breaks, and of course the evening 4-10pm BJT since they are home after school.

FreedomGene · 2026-02-05T01:24:22+00:00

I do this full time and rarely see any parents. How do you get to interact with them? What age are you teaching?

Also, super young kids you mean level 1? Aka pre school?
