Given the current headlines, H decided to use a few minutes of his spare time to look into how his company’s office in Egypt has been handling their employees amidst the protests and clashes all over the country and e-mailed me the below:
Dear Anonymous Expat,
Anonymous Company has evacuated all non-essential employees and families from Egypt. I however don’t fall under the non-essential umbrella.
Love,
H

At which point, I wrote back:
Dear H,
If we were living and working in Egypt instead of in Australia, and you had to stay, I would stay with you. Perhaps a good use of my time would be to join the friends of Zahi Hawass and help guards protect the Cairo Museum and other cultural sights with sticks.
Love,
Anonymous Expat
H’s response? He attached the below his e-mail.
and
To which I responded:
Dear H,
I’m sure Anonymous Company would ensure a supply of food and water and provide guards around the office and houses and for transit between the two. Maybe I could even have my own mercenary? Oh, how fun would that be? I want two mercenaries.
Love,
Anonymous Expat
To which H fired back:
Dear Anonymous Expat,
Don’t tell your Mother that, she might have a nervous breakdown. P.S. They’re called security consultants.
Love,
H
But H, how awesome would I look in this, waving my broom outside of King Tut’s tomb?
