Contrary to what many of you read, things in Italy are really tough for us. It seems as if we’re in constant limbo. If we’re not waiting to move to Italy, we’re waiting to find an apartment and if it’s not an apartment we’re waiting for, it’s a job. You get the drift. We’ve been putting in applications, sending out emails and checking the job postings on the net but it seemed like we would never get an offer. Even though we were told to be patient, as most schools do their hiring towards the middle or even end of September, it just seems like we’ve been waiting forever. Payments back home and provisions needed here are causing us much stress during this waiting period.
We decided that we must try to remain here by any means necessary. Armed with our newfound creed and an oncoming sense of desperation we contacted a guy about a job leading pub crawls near the Coliseum. Not exactly what we had in mind moving to Rome but if it pays the bills, then it’ll do until we can find proper jobs. So Thursday at 21:30 (9:30) we’re meeting Francesco for a pub crawl and if they like us and we like them, we will start working for him. Don’t worry, we aren’t planning to make a career out of this but to only use this as a possible stop-gap until we find teaching work. It’s just that it has been so long since either of us has worked it’s starting to get to us plus it’ll be fun to meet some new people. The pay isn’t great but we get free drinks! Ha ha.
