so, Gene calls me this afternoon. “How would you feel if I got a 70% raise, tax free? 21 days off a year?”
“Drug dealing?”
“No.”
“Pimping?”
No. His employer is searching for someone to take a position…in KABUL. As in Af-fugging-ghanistan. As in a war zone – Mission Accomplished, my ass.
“But we’re not at war WITH Afghanistan! We’re at war along with Afghanistan against the Taliban.” (Who are located where, Gene? Afghanistan).
I wouldn’t go, by the way. DUH. I’m not concerned that this will happen mostly because Gene also told me that one of his employer’s government clients wants him to work on their account.
Seriously…what would I do without Gene for an entire year? (“They’d let me go home twice!”)
During that year would you travel to visit friends and family because he’ll be making so much that you won’t have to work!??? 😉
