Plumber wanted

May 1st, 2006 by Roy Berman		 Mutantfrog

I get a couple of email newsletters on jobs in Japan. I noticed that today’s Gaijinpot has the following job listing.

Shin-ei is looking for a Plumber who has at least more than 5 years of experience. Must be experienced in welding and plumbing works.

Description:
Plumbing work for the American Embassy building facilities.

Salary is negotiable based on your skill

Working hrs:
08:30-17:30

Why do they need a foreigner to do the plumbing? Are they flushing classified documents down the toilet?

      Apparently the US-Japan relationship is further in the crapper than we realize….
