First off, congrats to your daughter!

Second, one thing I didn't know about until recently was the extent to which undocumented workers were hired for rescue efforts and clean up around ground zero after 9/11, yet were frozen out of getting help for the health effects.

Third, I don't want to paint with a broad brush but the workplaces I've been a part of that were led by women tended to be the best to work at.

Gracias - I cannot believe I'm old enough to have a married daughter but here we are.

Oh yeah 9/11, Katrina - it's awful and it's still happening. I was in a hearing last week and the Army Corps of Engineers had to admit that they have zero idea who their main contractors sub contract with.

I mean we can be bitches too as bosses. lol
