RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Sleep....)
I live in Argentina, (GMT-3) and teach English online to Chinese. Shanghai, for example, is GMT+8, a total of 11 hours difference.
This means I have to do much of my work between 3am and 5am local time, which plays merry hob hell with my sleep patterns. This is compounded by the fact that local custom is to eat dinner around 8-9pm rather than the normal 6-7pm of most working Americans
Mostly, I try to nap in the afternoons, but it doesn't always work.
It sucks, but it pays the bills.
Wow, that is some messed up sleeping hours! Do you do the teaching one on one? Over a video link?
No, mostly I have to teach the students in groups, but yeah, with a webcam.
The pay isn't really all that great, either. But given that Argentina is in a deep, deep financial crisis at the moment, and I see people literally eating out of the trash cans every day, I count myself one of the lucky ones. Thanks for the reply :)
Hope things get better down there... I didn't know that Argentina was also suffering economically as well.
