Work here is progressing...like a snail...swimming in molasses...in December...in Idaho. The project is massive and has so many parts, there is a lot to organize, but then we are also working in Nepal. Now, I am going to be as fair as possible, and I acknowledge every system has its pros and cons, but I have found working in Nepal to be one of the most frustrating processes of my life. The government is still in its infancy, the cultural differences, the language barrier, there are so many obstacles! I am incredibly lucky that my project is under HSI and that they are dealing with all the bureaucracy. It does affect my project though and I am not doing what I had hoped to be at this point. I need to remind myself that it has only been 2 weeks and eventually snails make it to the finish line. Has it really only been 2 weeks?!? Wow, I feel like I've been here longer than that. I've made quite a dent in my peanut butter jar in just 2 weeks...should probably slow down...or buy another jar when I go shopping today.

That first sentence though... I literally laughed out loud!
ReplyDeleteWell, you especially, know how crazy busy I like to be. You probably found it funnier than others because you really understand the struggle for me.
