The first picture is an ad for the Argentine release of Horrible Bosses which I got a kick out of. Rather than just translating the title directly, they've gone with a literal explanation of the plot... 'Quiero Mater A Mi Jefe" which means "I Want to Kill My Boss"!
The second picture is from a building that is being built a few blocks away and is something I've noticed anywhere they are doing construction in the city. Rather than having scaffolding they build these temporary sort of balconies of 2x4s and plywood/sheet metal that just sort of hang off the building. I am sure they are stable, because they are everywhere, but I definitely don't envy anyone who has to stand on them, six or seven stories in the air!
Day Two of school went well and I have decided to sign up for 4 more weeks of classes at this school. Then at that point I will decide what I want to do in terms of continuing with lessons or trying to do something else. It seems that as long as you are a native English speaker there are teaching opportunities available, even if you aren't TEFL certified. However the pay is never more than $8-10 / hour, which is about what I earned babysitting in 1998, so not sure if it's worth it. I am also going to look into some options for volunteering, if any place is willing to accept a very poor Spanish speaker.
