Fun Mission Story

My wallpaper on my computer flashes through mission pictures... this one made me laugh.

One time I went to see an investigator, and there was a large dead cat sitting on their driveway all mangled. The kids were circling the "gato" on their scooters laughing, so I went to the woman of the home (Maria) and said "Quiere que saque el gato?" "Do you want me to get rid of the cat?"

She said "Si" So I proceeded to ask for a pala (shovel) and scooped it up. The question then came to mind "Okay, where do I put this nasty thing?" There were no trash cans around, so I decided to go chuck it in the neighbors yard by the fence where he wouldn't see it. Unfortunately, right as I tossed the cat into his property, he came outside and said "Don't put that cat in my yard!!! Es grosero!!"

I then had to resort to Plan B: Dig a grave, and bury the cat in the backyard.

Here is a good picture of the moment. (Click to enlarge and witness the mangled creature. Karina, look away).

Six Flags is tempting me...

Okay, so I mentioned earlier that the family needs to go to Six Flags this summer. Well, I am upgrading my suggestion to the level of requirement.


You can now ride the Superman BACKWARDS. They haul you up to the top, FACE FIRST, and then SHOOT YOU DOWN!! Life couldn't get any better!

Oh.... and not to mention an entirely new zipper-like ride called "The Green Lantern".

Random.

Sometimes I play Justin Bieber radio on Pandora. No big deal.

I have the best job EVER.

I got a new job!

I am the Vice President of Engineering and Technology Startup over Venture Factory.

Venture Factory is where innovators can present new ideas, and if they are good enough, they can receive funding in the form of student teams who will help them build their product and develop a business plan.

I organize the weekly presentations by working with the innovators on their ideas, and hosting each event.

I also get to sit in on the leadership meetings where we decide whether or not we are going to fund the ideas.

I feel like a venture capitalist! It is awesome.

Just wanted you all to know....

It will be sad to leave the MTC, but this will help me in my future career for a long time coming.
