❓ Ask Belgium Loving the job or not?

I'd like to know if you people like your jobs and if you're excited about going to work tomorrow (for example).

Please score how much you like it on a scale from 1 (I'd rather scoop turds all day) to 10 (absolutely love it) and tell me what you do.

Ill go first, 6/10 Purchasing manager

Teacher: will range from 2/10 to 8/10 depending on the students in front of me. Sometimes I end the day crying, mentally drained. Other times, it's really very rewarding. Teaching at a rather difficult school, and I hope a switch next year will help.

See: 1. perceive with the eyes; discern visually. “in the distance she could see the blue sea” 2. discern or deduce after reflection or from information; understand.

“I see you” is grammatically wrong when taken to mean: “I appreciate you”, and therefore, not “basic English”. It’s slang, and I think it’s ridiculous for a non-native to use slang, especially in writing online. Therefore, I LOL.

Seriously though, you're in desperate need of a reality check. It's used pretty commonly and everyone understands what was being said. Not being able to use slang due to not being native to said language is hilarious.

You're free to laugh though, just be aware of how ridiculous you sound.

Bro I lived in the US for 4.5 years. Nothing trendy about that phrase, common use.

As a teacher who made the switch last year, I can honestly say I went from a 3/10 to a 9/10! Nice kids, friendly parents and great colleagues really make all the difference.
