There is someone out there who will take it. The person will probably either be incompetent or always have one foot out the door.

- So where did you see this advertisement?
- Got a link to it?

- I may fire them off a resume - just to see what nibbles I could get.
- Could use a free plane ride about right now. Think I have a few days of vacation I could use.
Wonder if they will let me stay a few extra days and provide a rental car so that I can scope out the area?
