Here we go again, again, again, again.

My dear friends,
I am on the cusp of making a huge mistake. Signing on for my my fifth tour of duty to another prison camp assignment to serve as studio announcer for NBC Olympics.  Although I  get to travel on a Delta flat bed for the  11 hour charter flight to our assignment in Sochi, lubricated with gourmet food, they've already warned us about inviting our family members to visit these Olympics. Seems our Olympic Village will be 20 miles from the town of Sochi which appears to contain nothing. We have been warned that there are no Western-style medical clinics anywhere near this place. We have also been officially cautioned that if medical evacuation is necessary you're likely to die. Which has prompted our employer to have us fill out various medical forms that indicate we don't appear to be near death. This sounds like a ton of fun.
If I take this assignment my bitching will know no bounds. Also be certain that photographic evidence will be submitted daily. The mere flight times presented in our travel documents strike terror into my heart.
Plus getting off work at 8 AM will be a great start to our day. Considering we are working 12 hours every day without a day off for a month.
The air was much filthier in China but the hours were better... And so was the emergency medical care.
Please, someone reason with me and talk me out of this.
Love,

Mr.Announcer
