Teaching Job in Brooklyn
I'm 90% sure I got a teaching job at a college in Brooklyn..I'm pretty excited about the whole thing, it's out in this area called Manhattan beach/Brighten Beach..way out by Coney island, it's primarily a Russian area..it's pretty wild, all these tiny little smoky Russian restaurants.
One place called the Apollo theatre is an old movie theatre that they turned into a Russian restaurant. Then, once you get out to the beach area, there are these huge homes, it looks kind of like Lake Drive in Milwaukee. In a matter of a block it goes from crazy urban Brooklyn, with trash and grime everywhere, to old Tudor homes on a beach front.
The two women I may work with were these really wonderful women in their 50's. Art teacher types, sharp and creative with a ton of life experience..love it.
I was a little put off by the communte out there, but once I met these two professor ladies I was totally sold on teaching the class. Who you work with-for makes all the difference. Did I mention that the 70 acre campus is surronded on three sides by water? The Atlantic Ocean, Jamaica Bay and Sheepshead Bay. yep

Sara Bobo, is that you?
No, it's me, John O. What's all this who are you? who are you? stuff, Pam? You've got to remember that this is a PUBLIC SPACE, not a slumber party. Some of us choose to hide our identities due to our work in areas like the defense department and pornographic movies. Just because you are comfortable using your real name here, that doesn't mean all of us are, so please respect our anonymity.
Who you work with makes all the difference for sure! Let me know if any of those women are single!
You DID mention that the campus is surrounded by water on three sides. Only one side to go and it's an island!!!
