A little bird told me about someone at work that is considering not going on a 2 month trip to Europe with a wonderful, smart, funny, beautiful woman because he's been offered a challenging job assignment.

Few job assignments have ever been so good, so intellectually and creatively stimulating and pay so well that it would be worth missing 2 months in Europe for.

No job assignments have ever been so good, so intellectually and creatively stimualting and pay so well that it would be worth missing 2 months in Europe with an amazing woman for.

No one has ever looked back and went "Wow, that temporary job assignment was so worthy of missing out on time with people I care for."

Sometimes, I just want to slap someone. In this case, someone in particular.
