'Coffee isn't just about the caffeine' : A Military Spouse's Reflections on the International World of Work

As I used one hand to dexterously position and operate the Keurig in my kitchen this morning while checking my work emails, eating a bagel and playing 'Simon says..' with my 2 year old, I had a fleeting vision of my morning coffee in Italy 2 years ago.

Hello Melanie,

I remember you as well and it is so good to hear from you! I have been in the states since June of last year, spending time with my grandson, getting my youngest daughter settled into college and casually looking for work. Jeff is currently working in Bahrain and I'm giving some thought to joining him there. I would appreciate any information you have to share. Thank you very much.

With Kind Regards, Enid
