new job, nothing to do
I started a new job at PSI Togo today (psi.org for more info). I'm still a Peace Corps volunteer, but now I live in the capital and have electricity, running water, a roommate, a dog and a 9-5 job.
This is what I did today:
- toured the office with my roommate, JT
- one meeting with Communications staff, which didn't concern me too much
- one meeting with my supervisor
- toured the office again with my supervisor, meeting most of the people I'd met earlier a second or third time
- deleted or archived more than 100 emails from my Gmail account. To do this, I actually read or at least skimmed most of those emails
So what I'm saying is that I spent all day playing on the internet. When I got up to go home around 5:45, the guy sitting next to me goes, "It's not time yet. Still 15 minutes." I was like, "Ok... but I don't have anything to do." But I stayed anyway. Here I am now. I thought work ended at 5:30.
Tomorrow I'll take some initiative and do something. For now... time to go home.
