Extra Credit Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum I visited the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum located on the grounds of the Seattle Center on July 31, 2012.

A man, dressed only in a pair of wetsuit shorts, slept restlessly inside a glass cylinder full of murky green water. Repeated strong twitches ran over his square face, through his beefy torso, down his sturdy arms and legs; his whole body shook, then relaxed. After a moment of stillness, the man opened his narrow eyes. As cold, oily water filled his vision, he blinked several times, yet the blurriness pushed back, refusing to go away.

discussed is mainly from my personal experiences working in Military Treatment Facilities or MTFs. The glass ceiling issue is an interesting one and perhaps a tricky one in describing its existence. I’ve worked in Army hospitals for 19 years and have had many women managers at the mid level and a couple at the highest level within the facility.
