Good morning.

WOOOOHOOOO! I'm selling my office building today that I used when I was an electrical contractor. The equity should pay down my debt to the IRS to the point that in a year or less I'll have them paid off and I can get a passport. (If you owe the IRS over $5,000 the State Dept. won't issue you a passport. They don't want people going where they can't be extradited) After I get the passport I'm off to Iraq to do electrical work!

The recruiter that offered me a job five years ago told me. I hope it's something for new applicants and I didn't waste five years for nothing

That's true when you owe income tax but what I owe is employee withholding from when I was a contractor. They won't negotiate that and it follows you to your death. They even garnished my disability payments until I set up a monthly payment plan |shocking|

The job is on an army base where I would eat, sleep and work. Those chicken shits don't attack the bases very much, they would rather send themselves and their countrymen to Allah by blowing themselves up in the market place or with IED's on the side of a road. I wouldn't venture off the base and the only road I'll ever be on is from the airport to the base and I'm sure that's patrolled so much there's no chance of IED's being placed.

Five years ago I was offered 85K/year and at that time $79K was exempt from federal income tax. I'm hoping now it's around $90K/year and if I use my sister's address in Texas I won't pay state income tax since they don't pay any. I can't make that kind of money slingin porn and contracting wasn't paying that much. Also, since you work so many hours they make you leave the country every 90 days, kind of R&R I guess and they pay for most of you airline ticket. I could see Europe again or visit Australia, New Zealand, or the Mediterranean area. Too good to pass up.
