While I was taking out the trash, I realized I hadn’t written for a bit. Partly because we had a week long heatwave of 93+ degree days. Some days it felt like all I could do was refill the ice cube trays 😉

Thirty minutes ago, we submitted my visa request. Wow, that was an adventure in paperwork – including trips to an embassy, the ministry of foreign affairs and then to immigration – all while carrying actual pieces of paper back and forth. In ten days, I should get a response where they tell me how long they think it will take them to make a decision. I had started the process six different times. However, you cannot save your request. Each time you need to start over from scratch – usability experience, anyone?

All of us passed our certification for data science! Today is the day that it was officially announced! This is such a good way to close out my work!

I am not standing still long. I’m busy with all of the steps needed to get the new adventure up and running. Today, while waiting for one set of immigration papers to be approved, I worked with our soon to be IT Commander to diagram out the company’s architecture. Multi-tasking at it’s best!

I feel alot of responsibility for this new adventure, like people will be depending on me for a piece of their livelihood. No pressure there 😉
