“Ethan,” I says. “I quit.”
“You quit what?”
“I quit Hawley Enterprises.”
“You quit doing what exactly?”
“Well, I was hoping you could help me out with that. I’m having a lot of trouble with my ‘Letter of Resignation’.
“What brought this on?” says Ethan.
“I’ve decided I want to be a sheepherder.”
“A sheepherder.”
“Think about it. The sheep is not a very fast animal.”
“Do tell.”
“Yeah. I figure I could virtually watch the little bastards disappear over the horizon, and still catch 'em in a jeep like an hour later.”
“Possibly,” says Ethan, scratching his chin. “But you would have to protect the sheep from predators too.”
“Oh please,” I says. “The only other animals I ever see around sheep are cows, and cows are pussies. My sheep will be combat-trained, hardened bad-asses.”
I drift off for a second.
My sheep will have leather jackets.
“What do you think ‘Sheepherder’ pays?”, asks Ethan.
“$40-$60 thousand a year according to this Devry University brochure. Next semester –Satellite Tracking, GPS and Radio starts in three weeks.”
“Really?”
“It ends in four.”
