This is great!

"Can't I just sell you my soul to get access to this? It would be a lot easier on me."

I can so hear him saying this.

I was having fun with the whole "the devil and dr. mckay thing.' I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, wow! That's great. I'm so glad you hit the whole H1-B visa thing, because I think it's something a lot of people ignore. I really enjoyed this, because...dude, I've WORKED for that company.

Honestly? So have I. ;) I'm glad the H1-B bit worked for you, as I wasn't 100% certain on the details, and just had a general outsider's view of it; cool that it rang true. Thanks!

oh, how i feel for and with mckay...jumping through 15 kinds of hoops to work in a country i'm not even sure i like...

beautifully done!!! i love the lack of options and the no nonsense approach to rodney's lack of life and why that's an asset here... [and his bad naming ability *g*]

thank you!

Oh, neat! I'm glad you liked it. I was wondering how he ended up with Simmons after I saw 48 hours, and their relationship felt weird to me; Rodney is so desperate to be believed, and so helpless about being able to change or control anything, which leads to all their weird stuff with Sam. So that was all perking in the back of my brain, and I guess it finally found a focus. Thanks!
