Blame it on sickness...

Thursday, Sept 10, 2009

Okay, it's been a long day so those who are reading are lucky because this wont be a long one.

At the end of today, Margaret and I were introduced to the Jesuit Refugee Service staff and office. We were quickly shown around, covered some basic inquires and then were handed keys to lock up for the night.

We decided to get groceries before it got dark (which it did while we were out). Did some running around with the JRS guard/handy-man, and returned to our accommodations to find the door locked. This wouldn't have been a problem if I had taken the keys with me but I had left them locked in our room! Fabulous. Seriously, how is it that I tend to embarrass myself to such extent on the first day, or first major meeting of our "employer?" Typical.

We ended up having to switch SIM cards with the guard to get the number of our supervisor, got picked up to stay at her place for a while, then got an extra set of keys from someone else, and found our way back here. In total, two hours of the night was shot to my carelessness.

Final words: I'm tired, my sinuses and my body are too sick to stay awake any longer and so I'm heading to bed after this post. Hopefully others are having better luck today :)

Goodnight all!
