On a Long Day

The day after the 4.4 earthquake that woke me up was so full that I'm only now registering all that occurred:
  • A three and a half hour donor meeting (in French, of course) in which i tried to look engaged while a fever made me hot and cold in alternating waves.
  • A presentation on our work by Emmanuella in which she did a very nice job in front of both the donor and our visiting Big Boss.
  • News that Haitian citizens hoping to visit Trinidad and Tobago (even for business) must have the personal endorsement of Kofi Anana, the Pope, and Queen Elizabeth.  Or the equivalent.  Setback on our trip there.  
  • Meetings that kept me from my computer during the entirety of the working day
  • News that a friend of a friend with whom I had dinner just last week was hit by a car while on R&R in the DR with her boyfriend.  She was killed and her boyfriend is in a coma.
  • Dinner with Boss and Big Boss that went really well.  I'm fortunate to have bosses that are motivated without being micromanagers.  I like them both and the conversation was both diverting and productive.  Also: the food was nice.
Can't wait for the weekend.

  1. And I clearly need to figure out what to do with my blogspot ID name. This isn't working.
