The job from hell
By VictorM:How would you like the job coaching the national soccer team of Iraq? Can there really be compelling reasons for taking such a job? Wouldn't starvation and homelessness anywhere beat that gig? I would think so, but 3 months ago, Drillo Olsen, from Norway, accepted the job. Luckily for him, he's gotten fired:
"I have tried to make contact with the association down there, but haven't heard anything since Thursday," said Olsen, noting that he'd only heard of his alleged firing through the media.I tried to find an angle to blame the Bush administration for this, but I think they're off the hook this time. Although, thanks to the billions of our money going there, payments were not much of a problem:
Olsen also had initial problems getting paid, but now says he's received all agreed pay. He reportedly will also receive severance pay.All that and he's alive to tell about it. Now, that's what I call progress. (This article doesn't mention that the team doesn't practice or play in Iraq because it's too dangerous).
