So there I was, sitting in my 10' x 10' office in the epidemiology center on a sunny morning, taking advantage of the internet to call my girlfriend on Skype. I'm chatting with my headset and camera turned on and just barely into the conversation, a herd of people come knocking on my door. It turns out that it's the dean of the medical school, the director of the epidemiology center, and the Swedish guy who founded the epidemiology center and hasn't been to Nicaragua in 10 years and is doing a tour to see how it has come along over the years. Then of course, there were a couple other people who came with the group, for maybe 6-7 people total. I minimized my Skype window and let them in. They showed the guests the office I'm using explaining the various features, like how they have internet here. Swedish guy asked me if I'm talking to my girlfriend on Skype. I sheepishly said yes. Ironically, Meredith and I had actually planned on talking about some of my research during our conversation, but hadn't really gotten to that part of the conversation yet. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention this point in my favor to the visitors.
However, the bosses didn't really seem to mind, mostly because it was a Saturday, after all, and I don't have to work weekends. Whew!

It's a good thing we got so much accomplished after they left, you know, solving all of Nicaragua's bowel problems and such. I love you!
