the sweetest deal of all time

An friend just im'd me (a former co-worker from the green mountain state, and past international travelling companion).
He had some big news.
His manager gave him permission to work remotely. (Working remotely is an elusive trophy for all corporate drones).

I was all like, "thats cool, dude"

Then he dropped the bomb on me.

He is moving to Paris to finish post grad education. So he not only gets to keep getting paid, but he moves to a fabulous city, and does not really have to go to work.

How cool is that?
