On assignment

The other day a fellow co-worker made a brilliant suggestion. After days of rain on end she thought it would be fantastic if the U.S. government assigned her an ambassador ship. I mean it's possible with all the current shake ups going on in the Bush administration right now. Perhaps she could win favor if she made lip service on some "moral" issue. Of course she realized that if that occurred there was the possibility that she would be assigned to Iraq or Iran or Mordor or some other place of current nastiness by mistake. So, she settled on the government creating inner-national ambassadors. She chose Florida to be her go-to state. I'm still contemplating. I'd either like to be assigned to Puerto Rico or Hawaii. I mean I know Puerto Rico is only a territory, but they still have K-Marts and Radio Shack's there. Of course there is the occasional hurricane, but I'd rather chance it than live in the constantly drab here. Of course if the government just had to, I guess I would pack my bags and live part of the year in a Pacific paradise.
