          Colonel - if you moved to Japan you'd be just the right age to start that job, and you'd have 20 years of job security ahead of you to look forward to.

          A more succinct way to put it:

          Right age, wrong country, move to Japan.

              There's genres there where you don't even need it.

                  Au contraire, je n'en sais pas assez ŕ ce sujet.

                    I might as well have written that line myself...
                    “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

                      That's the office where the way-too-serious people work, the types who don't have any fun, and then enforce their no-fun way-too-serious worldview on everyone else.
