Your robins are so cute! I am intrigued, though, by your lesson plans for a Python gig. That was a little cryptic and too interesting not to ask about.
I was asked to teach a year 7 class (11 - 12 year olds) an introduction to the Python programming language as part of the interview process today (Thursday) for a new post.
It was a great success. One kid actually stopped me at the end of the lesson and said.
Thank you sir, you have made me want to get back into Python!
This from an 11 year old 😂 cracked me up but was very nice to hear.
All in all a very pleasant afternoon.
They offered me the job. Now I have to make a decision?
The school seemed good on first impressions.
I had no idea that Robins lived such a short time. Do they live longer in the wild? They are an industrious bird and sign of renewal.
I think might like working and need to stay busy to stay content. Perhaps I am an exception to the rule. But I like what I do and that makes the difference:)
Howdy today sir molometer! oh, I get it..about Python..thanks for the explanation. I bet steemit could use you working with them on implementing features and programming.
the way people talk they need all the help they can get.
So true but totally wrong. Like any new startup there is never going to be enough people to do everything that needs doing but it still gets done eventually. We will get there.

Haha, not very cryptic at all really.

Indeed and thoughtful post here, Michael:)
Interesting point Pryde, if you like what you do and it makes a liveable income then it can be a joyful activity.
Some people work in jobs they hate just to survive.
The Robin works hard to survive because it knows no alternative.
I think that's the difference?
Many animals survive much longer in captivity as they have no predators.
Other animals die quickly in captivity for a number of reasons. Hence the poem. A metaphor for freedom.
Birds should be free to fly.
I agree. Seems cruel to put an animal that can fly in a cage.
Howdy sir molometer! Really good shots of the Robin and great words of wisdom as well!
Oh, what is a Python gig?
Thanks Janton, the Robin is a regular visitor now with the bird feeders full of nuts. :-)
Python is a programming language. I taught a class how to get started using the program.

I'm developing a few things for steem already 👍 still got a long way to go before I can roll out my ideas but it's getting there.
I do have a website up and running but that's coming down soon to be replaced by a new steem backed portal.
Howdy today sir molometer! oh, that sounds very good indeed, the way people talk they need all the help they can get.
So true but totally wrong. Like any new startup there is never going to be enough people to do everything that needs doing but it still gets done eventually. We will get there.
I'm so glad to hear you say that sir molometer, thank you! I was thinking that people are just way too hard and critical on the leadership.
Agreed, to be honest. I don't think the leadership knew how successful this platform would become.
We outperform some major publishing websites like hubpages.com by a country mile.
I like your robins better than ours. great photos!
Thanks Mel, they are super cute little birds. They fly so fast too which was surprising.
Congratulations @molometer! You received a personal award!
You can view your badges on your Steem Board and compare to others on the Steem Ranking
Sweet shot of it, I think it ccame to give your mind a break from working on the lesson plans
I think you may well be right.
Ohh yes indeed so I try and get a good balance these days for far too many years its was pivoting to far to the work side
