Today I had Jrn with me as Stfn is still absent and will now probably come on Monday.
He is from Netherlands and is an English teacher in Mz's group.
He is an easy going guy and seems pretty keen on keeping his job safe uppermost, so much so that he can stoop and lick the ground. Of course everyone has a right on wanting to be safe and I am not at all criticizing him for it but his servile attitude, his unassertiveness, his eyes seem to say I know you are a fool and dog but I don't care. I am happy to call you my king because my job is in your hands. And how true! When everyone in this school has been fired due to just one reason even when they were badly needed for the school this lone fellow has been able to retain his job even though he is now technically not needed.
I love some of his qualities which typically only guys have and girls can never have. He had the guts to come in unwashed jeans and a chequered full sleeved shirt to a formal dinner in a highly posh restaurant where the dress code had been clearly specified and we all team members had been detailed and warned well ahead in advance. He also prides himself on his mobile phone which is old enough to belong to the bronze age and so broken that it has to be sticky taped to stay together. "It does everything I want it to do," He declares with a singular pride; "I can make and receive calls and sms to anyone I choose to, I have no fear of it breaking even if I drop it from a twenty story building, and no fear of it getting stolen ever. What more can a man want?"
