Bearable Bob Reporting for Duty?

I’m done bitching. I received an email this morning from a federally contracted agency that is soliciting past and present US Government consultants for interest in 90 day contracts for emergency help in the Katrina-ravaged gulf coast. I requested a 90 day leave of absence from my job this morning. I’m waiting to hear on whether my job will let me go. If so, I’m responding to the solicitation with a very quick deployment date. I hope they hire me. I am great under pressure and crisis and have superior organizational and project management skills.

This isn’t bullshit. I’d want others to do this for my community if it was devastated. I’ve consulted in Mobile Alabama before. I’ve sat on the brilliant white beaches of the gulf shore and sipped frozen rum drinks and swam in the bathwater warm sea of the Gulf of Mexico. Time to put up or shut up. Time for prayers to put on boots and hit the streets. Time to make a difference.
