Today’s Job You Don’t Want: Honest Mexican Law Official
We’ve all had crappy jobs. Whether it’s being a janitor at a truck stop, tarring a roof or working in a Christian book store.
Unless you’re Donald Trump’s kid, you’ve probably had a disgusting job you hated.
But at the end of the day, at least no one left a severed human head on your doorstep and told you to be a little less diligent at cleaning, tarring or filing assorted copies of the King James Bible.
If you’re a straight-arrow law enforcement official in Mexico, besides having to wear a uniform in 108 degree heat and earning less in a month than a Wal-Mart greeter, there’s also the small matter of having your life threatened.
I hope you don’t think I’m a wimp, but even at the best job I ever had, if somebody left a human head and a note suggesting I find another line of work, I’d have a fully-typed resume up on Monster.com within the hour.
At that point, I’d be fine with fully embracing my wimphood.
It’s not like the most recent story about the Oaxaca attorney general finding a head on his doorstep is unusual. I Googled “Mexican attorney general” and “severed head” thinking I’d easily find the story I read over this past weekend. Instead, Google had over 345,000 results other than the one I was looking for.
How bad is the justice system in Mexico? High-ranking law officials are getting threatening notes and body parts on their porch and they still have to listen to Lou Dobbs on cable.
That’s bad.
