Summer in Mallorca or just plain Anglobitch?

So I had my interview today for the job in Mallorca. It went well, and I think I got the job, but now I'm much less enthused than I was before.

Problem 1: She made it more than explicit that they live in the country and there's really nothing to do there. It won't be the Mallorca that you think of, she said to me. She said it's extremely beautiful but there aren't really any places to hang out.

My spin: I think she wants to dissuade party animals which is understandable. There must be at least ONE cafe or bar where I can meet locals. It might suck because I might not meet Teddy's friends who live in Mallorca and I may be all alone with no friends, but I assume there will be at least SOMEONE my age to hang out with, and if there aren't a lot of people, then they'll be desperate and won't be annoyed by my Spanish.

Problem 2: Although I'm supposed to spend 2-3 hours a day speaking intensively with the 10 year old, she wants me to speak English to everyone in the family, except the maid of course, as she put it.

My spin: I don't really have one. This kind of sucks because based on the interview, the rest of the family doesn't speak or understand English very well, which means I'll be talking really slowly and listening to very slow sentences. If I can make some friends in the village, I'll be ok, if not, I'm gonna be pissed.

The upswing. I only work 2 hours a day, and I make almost 30 dollars a day, profit, without paying for food or housing or whatever. That's amazing. Also, I'll have books to read and DVDs to watch. I'll watch Spanish TV, and maybe because they're rich they'll have satellite Spanish tv which will help my language level. Also, their house is on the beach and they have a boat, so I'll have all that too. I may actually get a real tan, not a farmer's tan. I'll make more money than I'd probably make working part-time in the states working part-time, except of course if I worked at the restaurant, but no one will be in the area, so I'd be lonely and bored there, too. Plus, with all this boredom, I'll have a huge huge huge amount of time to write, and that would just be amazing. All in all, I'm going a week from Friday to see if I click with the kid. I think it's in the bag, but who knows. She seemed surprised that I was interested in the position, which is definitely a bad thing, but I think she may not have known how to respond in English.

Stay tuned, I swear I'll talk about Bullfights and other dead animals next. I swear...unless something interesting happens.
