Currently in process. Cinco de Mayo. Corona Extra.

Also the anniversary date of my current employment. Six long, hard years. But I have to admit the steady employment has been good in these relatively hard times.

I remember many years ago watching a TV documentary on Korea, and how hard the typical Korean worker was willing to work. Time frame was probably in the 70's. They showed this girl who got up at 5:00 AM to catch the train into Seoul in order to work 10 hours somewhere under fairly intense productivity supervision. Then she caught the train back and had only a few hours to do things on her own. I can remember thinking to myself "that poor third-world girl".

Now I am working like that person. Except I get up at 4:00 AM.
