Tonight, at a very important meeting for my company, I was "cornered" with the possibility of being promoted to take a position in the sweaty banus (the 'taint for you uninitiated) of the United States known as "Mississippi".

I would be running customer service that would connect Japanese transplants with their American customers, as well as have a significant role in finance/operations.

Has anyone here taken a large location change before? How did it work out?

I expressed my concerns of being some tootheless fucker stuck on a rocking chair, and told them that I would do only so if I had a good exit opportunity, especially one overseas.

What do y'all think?

Good job. But...Mississippi.

I'd say if you don't want to be in that place they better offer you some pretty hefty compensation.

What's the point of working somewhere you hate?

Ask SHM perhaps, he made his own major move in the last year also moving from a more urban state to one less so.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't move to Muzzsuppah for any amount of money.

If it was a stop on the way to Thailand, Japan, or China, I could easily hold my breath for two years...

Maybe I'm biased. My people aren't exactly welcome there.

Do whatever it takes to get where you want to end up.

You asked for it, I’ll give it.

You are an asshole.

You’re welcome.

well DAMN I read the meaning of the Topic wrong again. But congrats on moving up the ladder of success! Try and keep some safety measure otherwise the fall down will hurt like hell.
