I am a contractor, working for the US Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Here is a picture of an explosives robot retrieving beers at an US Embassy party here in Kabul. Most contractors here are automatically paid for 10 hours and day and paid automatically for 7 days a week. Most of us are making over $335,000.00 a year. What unfortunately happens is when folks are working and when they are playing sometimes becomes one in the same. In this picture, the explosives experts are demonstrating the prowess and dexterity of the explosives robot to the Embassy personnel, while everyone unwinds and enjoys the evening. Best regards. Tom
