Electricity will be the death of me yet!

I am so terrible at this blogging business! Well I'm going to blame it on the hecticness of my schedule. Work has been crazy insane lately; I feel like I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. There are about a million programs all going on at the same time right now and trying to keep them all straight is just a task in itself. I have been busy organizing my training that is happening on Wednesday; overall the planning went pretty well but I have to say there were definitely a few gliches. Everything seems to have worked itself out now though so I'm just praying that Wednesday comes and goes without any major problems. Because everyone in the office is so busy people have been throwing odds and ends at me to complete. For example, on Thursday on the Programme Officers informed me that she is supposed to be attending an Annual general meeting on Friday for an AIDS Network organization but couldn't attend because she had a presentation to give at a training workshop so that somehow means I got to go and represent CPA. The organiztion is currently in the process of creating and adopting their constitution so everyone was given the constitution to read in advance and make comments on. I did this (the night before because that's when I was told about this) and was expected to go and make comments on behalf of CPA. This could mean one of two things; it could mean that they trust me a great deal to represent them appropriately or that I was the only one available to go and they didn't really care about the meeting so they weren't bothered with who they sent as long as someone attended. I'd like to think it's the first one. I have to say that it was an interesting experience; people spent ages aruging over things that didn't really matter in the least and it went on for ages!! People spent ages arguing about certain things that I thought were obvious and when I explained what i was thinking there were a lot of "ohhh's and hmmmm's and some yes I suppose people do travel don't they?" Overall it was an interesting experience but I'm really glad I didn't have to stay until the end because I had another meeting to attend. It's been a crazy couple of days! On top of all this I've been trying to get the second newsletter for the year out. I've managed to convience them to extend the deadline until tomorrow...it's nearly done but not quite there. In the midst of all this my training workshop was yesterday and it went very well; I think I did quite well for the first time. I'm just really glad it's over but now I have to write the report...god I really hate writing reports...they are the bain of my existence!!

Haven't had time for much relaxing lately so there aren't many stories to share other than other work related but on Sunday I went to the pool to spend a couple of hours relaxing; it was very nice. Hopefully there will be some good relaxing this weekend to make up for the last couple of weeks.

Anyway, I'm going to sign off before the power goes off. I actually wrote this post on Sunday but the power went off while I was in the middle of writing (surprise surprise) so I apologize if some of it doesn't make sense but I wanted to post again so nobody gets worried about me going missing! Hope all is well wherever this may find you!

Until next time,
