  1. COMEDIC OT SCENARIO:

    *rob*’s first day at Peace Corp assignment:

    Director: Hello, welcome to Equitorial Guinea.

    *rob*: Ok, what continent is this?

    Director: Never mind that, we’ve got a well to dig.

    *rob*: uhhh, no way! There’s like 300 goat patties all over the floor around that hole and I am not about to
    start digging a hole with this weather. guuroooossssss.

    …where’s the bodega around here?

    benson, congrats on the promotion, and based on the above, it looks like the financial potential is unlimited!

  3. “peacecorp sounds absolutely awful. coodos to those who could handle what sounds like a miserable experience.”

    Rob – I worked about 2 hours a day and took unlimited vacation and got free housing and got paid at the level of a rich Ghanaian. I drank 32 ounce beers that cost about 75 cents and a pack of smokes was like 45 cents. I partied on the weekends with a bunch of other pent up and young kids. Little kids thought I was a celebrity and wanted to watch me buy tomatoes.
