The Absurdity of the Prague Teaching Life

Today I was supposed to teach 4 lessons: 3 ninety minutes lessons and 1 45 minute makeup lesson.

Lesson #1: Actually takes place, good times, good lesson.

Lesson #2: Cancelled in advance because of trip to Kenya. Fine.

Lesson #3: Cancelled 4 and 1/2 hours in advance, meaning I still get paid.

Lesson #4: Cancelled 10 minutes after I show up.

So, in summation:

Hours paid for (45 min = 1 teaching hour): 5

Hours actually taught: 2

Hours spent traveling: 3

On Thursdays, for example, I teach for 5.5 hours and travel for 5.5 hours. Good times. Good fucking times.
