Chuck & Kathi's London Sojourn

A Diplomatic Coup

On Thursday, December 16th, Kathi started working at the US Embassy in London. It's taken a long time for them to process the paperwork, security clearance, etc., but, finally it's happened. Being home for the last 5 months had its good and bad sides and she was ready to have work that kept her busy -- besides the laundry (which with British mini-washing macine/dryer combination appliances takes a loooooong time)!

She is working in a job that is way below her level of competence, but it serves the main objective of counting as civil service longevity time. She is working as a general administrative support person, meaning that on any given day she may be asked to work in any part of the embassy where they need extra help or have someone who is away for some reason. One of the beauties of the job, too, is that she can say that she'd rather not work on a given day, making it possible for her to accompany Chuck on the occasional trip he has to take for work.

So, with Kathi at the Embassy, look out for a significant improvement in US foreign relations!
