The post was in Saudi Arabia, a country that conjures up mental image of veiled women, sandstorms and a prison gang rape scene for smooth guys- daunting scenarios,but what the heck, I've been bum for the longest time, the ax is getting rusty and the village body count must stop. I should go, but not in coat and tie for crying out loud! the tropical heat is searing and the agency is located at the country's red light district, I dont want to look like The Godfather cruising around for hookers!
The whole building is cheek by jowl with Filipinos who are applying for placements abroad. Mostly hard labor (plumber,etc.) and domestic jobs. I felt awfully out of the loop wearing a rolled up smart shirt, a pair of tailored pants and patent leather shoes in a place where everyone was wearing simple shirts and denim jeans. I wanted to crucify everyone in the agency who insisted on the outlandish ensemble.
