Brain shutting down for the weekend...

Hola amigos,

Week 2 was very tiring but very interesting. It's crazy to think we are half way through the month already.

My team has conducted 10 interviews of groups of 2 to 5 people about various security and process issues within the Queretaro Police Department and the Department of Public Safety, while also completing research into areas none of us have ever thought about before.

I'm currently documenting the I.T. infrastructure of the Police Department as best I can in advance of a weekly debriefing with the head of IBM Queretaro.  The chief I.T. administrator here is truly worth his weight in Tequilla. They should double whatever they are paying him.

Tonight all fourteen of us are supposed to cook national dishes that represent our teams in the Hotel canteen. We're making a vegetarian pasta dish and cashew chicken. I've agreed to chop whatever I am told to chop. We're not sure if we are meant to be cooking starters or main course, but we are not losing too much sleep over it. If it turns out that we are meant to be doing the starters then everyone can eat smaller portions. Problem solved! This is the type of initiative and problem solving ability that led to me being accepted into the CSC program.



Now, if you will excuse me, I need to look into flights to Cuba for when the assignment is finished...

Hasta luego..
