One more day

Tomorrow is my last day of work at the Ministry of Economics. Basically, I am cleaning up my office, getting rid of 2.3 years of accumulated paper, and saying good-bye to my great view of the Russian Embassy from my window.

These past years that I have been working at the Mexican Government, I have realized that public service is the most uncertain job ever. When you get to your office in the morning, you could easily find:

1. A dead cow hanging from a flag-pole and two thousand litters of milk poured in the entrance of your building by angry milkmen
2. A letter of an unknown man from Oaxaca state asking the President for a house and 20,000 USD for providing confidential information about a secret gold mine in his backyard
3. The cleaning lady has eaten the chocolates you left inside your desk

It has been a really interesting and exciting experience. However, it is also an almost-karoshi adventure. With several more pounds, fewer hair, and many bureaucrats in my friends' list, I say good-bye. Nomorekaroshi. Nomaskaroshi.
