Thank you to everyone who sent us wishes of success. We have had a great opening week so far. We are still working out some kinks in our processes but the staff is great and people really appreciate the work we are doing and the ability to get 15 minute results.
On a personal level, its been pretty exhausting. Managing a new operation like the testing center while trying to serve our consulting clients and get our a nightly news letter has been a pretty tall order. I apologize for not writing a column for the past few days. I will get back to that when things settle down. I have been managing to put together the key headlines, with the help of my staff, to keep you informed each day.
Be well and stay safe. We will get through this together.
