One For The Road

I went to a nearby city with a colleague yesterday -- he was getting his Rolex serviced.

This is a guy I first met in Russia -- he's the reason I came to this particular posting in The Kingdom, as I had his assurance the administration was fair (true) the salary was good (true) and the work was easy (true.)

He's in his early 60's now, and has been here for about 5 years, but certainly occasionally misses the more lively days in Russia. I was showing him some pictures on my Ipod Touch of parties and girls that I knew.

He saw this picture and commented, "I think you had more fun than you deserved over there."


That about sums it up.

You are starting to sound like Forest Gump.

In 3 months time max, you will be dying to go back to Russia. If you're not already, that is.

from drunken partying with young women to man-dates with 60-year-old guys to get their Rolexes serviced. . . we see where your head is at.

In about 5 months time, I'll be starting my paid 2.5 month summer holiday, and will be free to go to Russia if I so desire. With loads of money.

Alright, I stand corrected. 2.5 months of holiday time?? That is insane. I would go bat-shit crazy with that much free time on my hands.
