Well. What fun. The meeting went well for us this morning. It was scheduled conveniently through most of lunch so cookies were provided (mmm!). We got out just in time to make it 3 minutes before they lock the door at the DFAC.
We also received the news that Jen and I will be performing the analysis again (remember that thing I was talking about a quarter ago!) It's unfortunate because it will cause Jen to leave for R&R late. :( Poor girl. She's a real trooper. I'm not so sure I would have taken the news as lightly as she did.
I also received an email through my blog this morning that irked me a bit:
"Do you think you guys should leave this country, in order to quell all the bloodshed. I mean, all those innocent students going to college to better themselves, slain........its truly sad. Do you think you making a difference here?"
Do I believe I am making a difference? Myself alone - no, but the organization certainly is. We have managed to rebuild schools, hospitals, bridges, roads, etc. all for the better of the country. I do feel it is sad that they blow up their own people - but all their doing is forcing their people to be scared or leave. I'm not sure how killing innocent students - their future leaders - is helping make their country better.
My husband and I WERE contractors in Iraq supporting the reconstruction effort. We’re still on the program, but now from the good ol’ USA. We continue to keep this blog updated on a regular basis for our family and friends. Welcome!
