The woman who approves our federal grant is going to China. Very cool!
I remember talking to her before the possible government shutdown, back when Congress and our Pres were having some trouble approving a budget. And instructions were issued from federal agencies about an orderly shutdown. She told me about the time back in the mid-90s where they actually did shut down, which was followed by a snowstorm. Feeling badly for taking pay when actually she didn't work for close to a month.
I tease my colleague about taking Chinese names. That is the first step. Like back in high school French class, where we took on French names. Only this time names are a first step. Given the Chinese government holds 25% or more of each dollar our federal government spends.
Well names are the first. I suspect she is going to China to scope out possible employment opportunities. Wouldn't you? I mean, running a large state owned enterprise, she knows how to do that. Will have to ask her what her Chinese name is when she comes back. I told her to come back. I mean, maybe she'll come back. Would you?
