This was the dirtiest, most crowded clinic I've been to. Most of the clinicians -- maybe all of them -- were Filipino. I had the opportunity to get to know them more by hanging out with them in the break room. I learned a few noteworthy things: they work more than any group of immigrants (and are proud to tell you how hard they work!); they bring food and share it amongst themselves; they do not vote, claiming they don't know any of the candidates (to which I responded they should get to know them); they send much money back to Phillipines; and they are highly educated people working outside of their academic fields. Hmmmmm.
I stayed in a Residence Inn in La Mirada, and actually used the fireplace in the suite (and yes, the air conditioner was on some of the time). It felt homey. Had the opportunity to sit and talk with Michelle, one of my favorite trainers on the project.
On Friday, I headed back to San Clemente and will write more later.
