Got the gig
After a year and five month hiatus from real work, I'm now officially a foriegn correspondent. Yay! I'm looking forward to it, but I'm very nervous too. I have to get my visa changed too as journalists in China are on special ones, mainly so they can control where we can and can't go. But, with it I can get into government functions others can't, so that's good.

1. My dear HEyHEY!
Oh, Congrats! That sounds awesome. I know you'll have a ball doing this. I understand the nerves, but I suspect that once you get into it, you'll be fine.

Foreign Correspondent. That has a nice ring to it.

Have fun!

3. "Give me and expense account and I'll cover anything."
Mr. Powers: I'll give you an expense account.
Johnny Jones: Okay, What's the story?
Mr. Powers: Europe.
Johnny Jones: Well, I'm afraid I'm not exactly equipped, sir, but I can do some reading up.
Mr. Powers: No no, no reading up. I like you just as you are, Mr. Jones. What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind.
Johnny Jones: Foreign correspondent, huh?
Mr. Powers: No, reporter. I don't want correspondence, I want news.
