(OT - brag) Generally, I hate my job

[registrar]

Bingo Betgo. I'm not really the Registrar but that's part of my title because, when selling education, it's best not to use any words like 'sales', 'marketing' or 'profit' in your title. So my office door says "Academic Registrar" but no one knows what that means, least of all me, and that's how I like it.

You will have NO PROBLEMS with this attitude there [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

P.S. As long as you can handle a bottle all by yourself, that is.

P.P.S. Forget Immodium, bring Aspirin...

But I've just booked my business trip to Almaty, capital of Borathstan, for April.
If I was a pro poker player, I'd live a life without ever having cause to visit Kazskhstan. As it is, I get a fully expenses paid trip. Sweet.

Almaty is not the capital anymore. Not that it matters for your purposes, I imagine.

Oh yeah - that's true, isn't it. They're doing a Brazilia, Canberra, Washington, Ankara type thing. Presumably because of the precedents.

I find the opposite. The few kazak girls I met while at boston hate him and everything about him. And said how the gov't even went as far as to make a statement about the falsepretense of his jokes etc. They seem to detest him and everytime someone brings a joke of his up around them.

I bet that registar's only spoken to guys. After all, it's quite common knowledge that Kazak women have no sense of humor, while the men are connoisseurs of all things funny.

Pretty funny. The people in Kazskhstan will probably think that they are getting a degree from Oxford University or can pass it off as such in Kazskhstan.

Anyway, it is a lot more respectable than being a professional poker player.
