About me:
I'm a public relations manager and I work in Pasvalys Marius Katiliskis Public Library. My workplace is at the computer in a library office. I write about library activities, I send emails to people and I make posters. I also organize meetings for English learners in the library. I don't like my work at the computer but I love English meetings. I want to speak English very well. I don't have a husband or children. My mum is retired, she doesn't have a job, she is a housewife. That's all.
a poster [pouste] - skelbimas, skelbimas; library activities [laibrari aktivitiz] - užsiėmimai bibliotekoje; mum [mam] - mama; a housewife [hauzwaif] - namų šeimininkė; that's all [thats ol] - tai ir viskas.

Note:

Janina parašė: But he wants to have money.

It is correct, but I think it is better (geriau) to say : He needs money - Jam reikia pinigų
