The ups and downs of life as a volunteer in Uganda

• No internet or office phone, nor promise from provider to solve it any time soon.
• Feeling fat.
• Sophie (junior) didn’t turn up to work, nor tell anyone she wasn’t coming in.
• Patrick isn’t in as his kids have all got malaria.
• Enid has been telling me about the frustrations of Uganda – inefficiency, protecting their jobs, saying sorry but not trying to address situation, refusing to give name of supervisor, not returning calls, blaming other people etc etc
• Simpson not here to cheer me up.
• The sun’s gone in!
• I have no plans (yet) for the w/end.
• Ken the painter didn’t understand me when I called to explain he needs to apply damp proof paint on all the walls inside the wardrobe (so I haven’t been able to unpack properly yet).
• It’s Friday the 13th which is cool cos maybe that explains everything?!Feel a lot better now I know why I feel pissed off!
