one hour. I lasted ONE HOUR, if that, at my "fun job." Maybe Mr. Temp Agency was right, maybe I do belong in an office. I am not a hustler, and hustling is what New Yorkers do best. I am a teacher, I want to help, to love, not coerce, beg or hustle. When the other new kid they paired me up found out I was a teacher he told me, "teaching IS hustling." He exclaimed frantically as if he were trying to sell teaching to me, "You gotta convince those kids that you have the information they want. y'know?" Maybe so. The difference, however, is that if teaching is hustling, then at least I'd believe in the product I'm selling.
