“Ive been doing it a long time actually. When I was younger I used to teach kids to read… And then everyone knew how to read so I started teaching math… It’s just nice to help people.”
“Oh cool. It is really nice to get out there and help people. There’s something really satisfying about being of service to others.“
“I guess.. But it’s really nice you know, teaching. I just hope I can keep this job for longer than a ear this time”
“I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying teaching. It seems like it suits you really well.“
“I don’t really go to shows.. Too many people. I can’t handle it” he sighs “Yeah! I promissed him that if he gets good grades I’ll give him the number of some guys I knew when I worked for radio. Never seen a kid study so much. The key to teaching is bribing”
“That’s fair. “A sympathetic sigh. “Ohh very cool. Haha I guess giving an incentive certainly helps motivate people.“
“Sounds fun. I wish i could go some day. And yeah… it’s good. One of my students has a metal band. They are edgy and cool”
“Yeah. I hope you make it out to a show or something. Hah nice. It’s always good to see a talented metal band. Makes for a fun time.“
“Oh man” he laughs “It’s been so long I haven’t gone to a show. What did you see?”
“I went to see some local rock bands playing. It was really fun and I was proud of seeing folks continue to create and enjoy good music.“
“Nothing much– just giving classes and doing nothing. As always. You?”
“Nice. I’ve just been working and hanging out. I’ve been to a few lives shows so that’s been nice.“
“I am the worst to discuss this with I have used the same name almost my whole life”
“Hah. No worries. It’s cool that you managed to stick with one for a while. But what you been up to anyway?“
“….. nah.. You don’t look like a Coralie. Samie works best”
“hah that’s what I thought. Works for me. “
“Huh.. I like it. But I think for you, you need a name like…….. with a C”
“Same.. Something with a C you say. Hm I’ll look into it. There’s Caroline, Coralie.. there’s not actually a whole lot of C-names I’ve found. “
“Do you have any names you like?”
“I’ve stumbled upon Saima which I do like. It’s not terribly different so Saam would likely still be a good nickname for it.“
