An even bigger triumph will be keeping the pressures of your new office from eating you alive. Even President Clinton recently admitted there was a huge learning curve to running the country. Also, create separate spaces for working, holding meetings, and reading. Wait 90 days before prosecuting or pardoning President Clinton.
