Ups and Downs

Just a quick list of things that have happened this week: Some ups, some downs.

  1. At an all employees meeting, I confirmed rumors that the company is for sale.
  2. MTB thought she may have not renewed her license to practice medicine.
  3. MTB found out that her license is still valid, no problem.
  4. MTB and I spent 2 hours at an office of the Secretary of Education to start the process of validating her degree in Medicine, so she can practice in Mexico. After two hours, we found out we need more documents. And we had to smile and say thank-you.
  5. A government owned aircraft, carrying the Secretary of the Interior and a former federal prosecutor crashed very near the presidential palace in Mexico City. Most people believe it was a sabotage by drug cartels, since the two government officials are in the center of the war with the drug cartels in Mexico.
  6. MTB and I taught Institute on Wednesday night. We have wonderful students and it is always a positive experience for us.
  7. The USA elected its first minority president.
  8. I found out my boss will be visiting us on 1 December, my first day back from a 2-week absence from the office.
Life is all about ups and downs. We've had our share this week......

Brandon brought up a good point; JFK was the first minority president. He was irish and catholic, which was a big deal back then.

When are you leaving for 2 weeks? is that for thanksfiving?
