Adios Dania

Friday, Friday....

Long day, perhaps even longer than a normal Monday.

Not only do we publish the Daily Report, but we also publish "The Week in Review" on Fridays. Which means: no sneaking out early! In fact, I'm uploading the files to our website as I type these very words.

As soon as the homepage is updated, I'll pull the plug on the laptop, make the four-block mad dash home, grab a bottle of rum and....

NO, not chug it! Bring it over to the home of Dania, one of my co-workers so that we can...

NO, not get drunk! Celebrate her leaving Incidencia Democratica because she was...

NO, not fired! Offered an amazing opportunity to work with the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Team.

Yep, the great news is that she will be doing awesome work: interviewing family members who survived massacres, as preparation for the exhumation of mass grave sites.

The sad news, of course, is that she will be leaving us!

So tonight, we're all heading over to her home to celebrate her despedida ("farewell party").

Wishing Dania the very best with her new job. It sounds like a wonderful job. I know she will miss everyone there and everyone there will miss her....but knowing what kind of job she will be doing will help the transition of her leaving. Wishing Dania happiness in her new adventure of life...... Vicki and family :)
