You don't accept or reject the secondment, you are endowed with it by your Creater.

That's just profound enough to make me want to take a picture of something with a wine glass casually placed nearby.

I was offered a 6 month secondment in Paris.

It would start in 3 weeks or so - but tomorrow I am leaving for 1 week holiday.

I would need a passport for my cat.

Should I accept?

My mother says I should go as long as I don't get killed by a Muslim terrorist.

I still have to discuss it with my boyfriend(s).  :ph34r:
:mad: I was going to spoof derspiess's thread myself.

6 months seems an odd timescale.
Too short to properly settle in and begin to really enjoy but too long to be just a holiday/business trip.

It's not like they're sending you to the moon. Id agree that if the company thinks it's a good idea it probably is.
And if paris is as crap as it seemed when I visited / meeting parisians suggests, you're rich enough to go home on the weekends

Hell yeah. A six-month secondment to Paris would pretty much sort our all my problems right now :hmm:

You were in Japan too long if you suffered such severe Paris syndrome :P

If you can't live vicariously through a narcissistic gay Polish lawyer, then it's not really living, now is it?

I went when I was 13/14.
Before I'd ever been to London actually. :ph34r:

Apparently, I'll be going on vacation to the same locale at the same time as Marti. Should I be re-thinking my life choices? :hmm:
