ya me estoy gustando

problems or opportunities. I suppose it's a matter of perspective. Since I have entered the world of work I have been more than amazed at how the hiring process often goes. What I would call an unreasonably large percentage of ex-bosses seemed about as qualified for their job as any fulano (joe blow) off the street. But yesterday was the first time that i have ever heard some one admit it. It was one of the garden projects that I am working at. I started talking with the teacher that is in charge of maintaining about future plans of what could be done and she ---she is new by the way. her predecessor that was equally trained only lasted about a month before being promoted to vice principal at another school--- so, as i was talking to her she interrupts and says "ok, yeah that sounds good, but i don't really know what your talking about. You see i don't really have any training to work in gardens other than this book that they handed me when i walked in" I tried to contain my laughter but i couldn't. she laughed too. then i SUGGESTED that we plant some of the tomatoes plants that i had brought in and she was in agreement. then she asked about which tool we were going to use and i said that today we are going to use the post-hole digger. her response "i can't use that chunche "thingy-" So i dug the first whole and did it slow and explained as articulately as i could how to use the thingy. then handed it over to her. by the third whole she had a smile on her face and when the fifth was done she said "ya me estoy gustando esto!" Success! Next week I am taking her on a field trip to my favorite organic farm. Her mind is ripe for planting new ideas and I get to do it!
