The Offer

Matthew Lesko’s official website claims his government grants book can get you “$50 Bags of Money For $3.”  True Story.  This is wonderful news, since now I don’t have to worry at all about leaving my job, or working ever again.  Yesterday the team contacted me and gave me my offer.  I wont exactly be making it rain per se, but I’m happy with it.  The deal they worked out for me is they are going to take care of housing and my flight to and from Germany, which leaves me to pay for food and anything else I’m (beer) going to need there.  I think I made out well.  I  ran the whole situation by my parents and I’ve had the official stamp of approval from them, which as a bonus gift, came along with pessimism and many long talks about how bad of timing this was with today’s economy.  I don’t think they’re thrilled with the decision, but after seeing me for 15 or so years spend 2-3 hours a day bouncing a ball off the side of our house, and not on the computer practicing my excel macros, I think they know where I’m coming from.  Plus, I don’t think they realize that the government has been giving people bags filled with $50 cash, so once I tell them about that it should ease a lot of their financial apprehension.  Now I just have to tell the team, to make it official, and I’ll be on my way.

I wonder if there is a government grant for leaving your job to play baseball.  I’d actually be happy if there was a grant to help pay for a punctuation mark suit.  A friend of mine went to dinner with his girlfriend at a fancy restaurant in DC and sat next to Matthew Lesko.  He was wearing the ? suit.  True Story.
