I feel rotten today due to lack of sleep and late sleeping hours for the last two nights.

But I've joined the working world again. The "normal" working world too.
I spent Tuesday preparing and took the bus at 7:30 from Plaza Duque to the Parque Empresarial Nuevo Torneo. It was like any other business park - sets of towers and nicely designed-up plazas with coffee shops and papelerias. You even press the button for what floor you want to reach and the console tells you what elevator will go to that floor. There are no buttons once you're inside the elevator.

They widely varied in levels of English, and I gave them a "placement test", so I could map out exactly what grammar points there are problems with and what each person is good at. I didn't get time to do the rest of the long lesson I'd planned because they sent me another group right away. There are two companies that want lessons.

There are two or three that have confidence speaking. A few others know a lot and have excellent grammar but are shy to speak. Then there is a whole group who are kind of in between and a few who don't understand much.

The oldest man in the group was 38, and also the only one dressed in business attire. He is from the assessoria. I think that means tax stuff, law stuff. The rest are a range from 22 to 34, with Fran's guys being all in their 20s.

I went and had a coffee and media tostada (half toast) in one of the coffee shops at the bottom of the towers. It was slightly less characterful than the traditional bars in the city center, but it still had a nice feeling that the Spanish give their bars, with the patrons all standing around chatting while they take their coffee break, and the interactions with the bartender who is all business and fast, and has none of the tacky Starbucks fake professional mannerism. I sat there in the sun, having finished two hours of work before 11 am, and being among a bunch of productive business-y type people.
