Day 7 - Survived!

So my first week on the job is over and we all survived...barely. It's been pretty long days with lots of information to take in and decipher, but it's been very productive. We've had a couple of set backs where we think we can move forward one minute and then the next minute we find out we understood and/or translated something the wrong way and we are back to square one. But that's all part of the process I guess. The work that NACC does is just unbelievable and incredibly inspiring. The operations of the facility in order to feed, house, and transport the underprivileged children undergoing cancer treatment is just astounding. They run like a well oiled machine. On the back office side it's a different story, but then again that's why we are here to consult and help them.

So on the home front, I received a Skype call at about 5PM U.S. time, which I found odd as my husband usually doesn't get home until later. I thought maybe he got home early and just wanted to chat. Imagine my surprise when I answer the call and it's my 3 year old son, Jackson. So apparently, Jackson somehow got a hold of the iPad, tapped on Skype and saw that mommy was 'green' and pressed the call button! Just unbelievable how these kids can manage technology today! It was quite the treat to get to chat with them! When I called last night, I could not talk past the total chaos that was bedtime - I asked my husband if he gave them each a shot of sugar or something because it sounded like a Super Bowl stadium at the house (which is how it is 99% of the time)!

The entire CSC group is off to a team weekend trip, so I will (hopefully) get to actually post pictures and tell you all about it on our return on Sunday.

Have a good weekend!
