So I said to myself “ok I'll add this new title to my CV, it means noth<strong>in</strong>g but it looks good on <br />

paper”!! If I remember correctly Carl left approx with me hav<strong>in</strong>g 6 months left to go on my <br />

contract before it came to the end, I carried on daily with my job which I was enjoy<strong>in</strong>g <br />

especially after Carl left, I was always treated by the rest of the Canadian team with suspicion <br />

as I was now officially the spy <strong>in</strong> their camp which they did not appreciate or like after los<strong>in</strong>g <br />

their boss <strong>in</strong> such a way. <br />

<strong>The</strong>se follow<strong>in</strong>g 6 months went very, very quickly and I thought I must give the tourist board <br />

plenty of warn<strong>in</strong>g if I wanted to renew my contract for a further period or go from this very <br />

<strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g scene. <br />

To all my contacts, I then sent a second CV, tell<strong>in</strong>g them of my promotion. <br />

Two months before my 2 year contract came to an end I heard from various quarters, Ch<strong>in</strong>ese <br />

whispers, or sorry, should say S<strong>in</strong>ghalese whispers, that a German who is based <strong>in</strong> a hotel <br />

tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g school <strong>in</strong> Kabul, Afghanistan, was com<strong>in</strong>g as the pr<strong>in</strong>ciple to take over from Carl. I <br />

was not surprised to hear it because if they can get his services without pay<strong>in</strong>g for it they are <br />

go<strong>in</strong>g to take him, irrespective of myself be<strong>in</strong>g there. I was <strong>in</strong> a difficult position to decide <br />

now after hear<strong>in</strong>g all this?? <br />

Should I stay or move on. . . . . . . . . . . . <br />

I chose the latter. <br />
