Jumping ship
I jumped ship (left teaching) and found myself in a sea of bad jobs. I don't want any of them. Interestingly enough, pursuing advertising is more difficult than I thought. There is "diddly squat" here, so I'll either have to move or skip that idea and find some other dull employment --- more likely, rather than diving lower hoping to find air.

Accent, schmacksent; I'm a SOB
I was asked from where I had my accent. I don't have an accent, but instead, I speak proper English, as for that I am marked as a foreigner. The most telling word, "water", pronounced with two syllables. No one, and I mean no one here says the word separated by syllables, but raher by hushed grunts, "wa(hushed "t")r" in one syllable. Moreover, general speaking they are left with wonder -- "I can't quite place it" is the common phrase.
Accent? That isn't an accent; those are correctly spoken words.
You were naughty to make me think you were a foreigner. I will have to punish you good.
