I turned in the company car this morning. The low fuel light came on as I was parking it. (Sticking it to The Man, I am.) No eggs for breakfast this morning. So I am down to cheese and crackers, and I note I am down to my last dozen crackers.
Timing is everything.
How about Paul in Italy ? They could do with more teachers. And they won’t shut you in a single apartment block.
Paul_in_Qatar:
Her I am in the third richest per capita country in the world. No recession here. We are about to go on summer holiday and my contractor guy came around to tell all thirty-plus of us that we are fired. “The Qataris are cutting back.” I bet you a dime they are advertising for our replacements.
So anyway, back into the job market I go.
How was your day?
Bummer!
you landed on your feet before. you will again.
I got home, there was a message for me. I am off to Houston on Tuesday for an interview. Anyone need anything.
Texas, eh? So it’ll be Paul in Purgatory.

I was just thinking… Since Paul has been in tropical climates for several years now, maybe he would like a change of scenery, like :
Paul in Chamonix for example or maybe Paul in Stockholm ?
I’m hoping for Paul in a Hot Babe .
Hell, I’m hoping for FriarTed in a Hot Babe .
He could move to Florida and be Paul in Port St Lucie .
Hey, welcome back to the U.S., and good luck in the interview! Hope it goes very well for you, and that you love your new gig.
Sorry guys, I just got the job in Saudi. (What was that fired to hired in 2 weeks?)
Wait. WAIT! We hadn’t even reached consensus on your new username yet!
Seriously, though: congratulations. That’s amazingly fast in this economy.

So is it Paul in Saudi (Again) or Paul Back in Saudi ?
Congratulations! What’s Arabic for “rebound”? Have we discussed Paul of Arabia as a Dopername?
Nope. He doesn’t like the South. Too many racist cops.

Well good on you. Makes my 5 months of unemployment look pretty pathetic.
