We have a "teachers meeting" at Guitar Center this morning. I have to be there at 9 AM, instead of my usual 10 AM on Saturdays.
Of course, we are paid for attending, so I will make an extra $20 this morning. I don't know if I'll be asked to speak about my experiences there, or just chill.
I think we make about $20/hour when we are not active with a student, and about $38/hour when we are active with a student. Most of my time there is with a student.
One of my students today is Christopher, the Autistic kid who sings on key and has an excellent intuitive understanding of music. I am actually teaching him Fur Elise, and trying to help him spread his fingers out. He likes to play everything with his index fingers.
He always brings a "transitional object" to his lessons. His singing cactus is his favorite right now. But he knows to turn it off when its singing gets in the way of our lesson.
Wish me big happy joy joy today at Guitar Center.
And no, I will not spend my extra $20 all in one place.

I'm not expecting more money here in mylot. I'm just hanging around here because I want to share my feelings and thoughts here online. I need to chat with someone to make me feel better and to start my day right. I also have another enough money in another website. I have another online paid work to do also.

We had another good lesson today. He makes direct eye contact with me. We share or own jokes. Today, I asked him if he was going to torture me by using the "pitch controller" on his piano. He said "yes" and laughed. He knows I cannot stand that thing.

Extra money is always a good thing. You will never hear me complain about extra money, even if it's a tiny amount. Heck, I got excited when I realized a dime my dad used to scratch off a lottery ticket was left on my dining room table when he was visiting here. Nice. I feel rich!

@TheHorse You're very welcome. One of the things that she did was drive both cars. They really needed to be driven.
