The Russians
Yes, they are here, and I'm exhausted! When I took my job at VCWA (Vermont Council on World Affairs) as Admin. Assistant, I never imagined myself driving a HUGE van (which scared the hell out of me- and if you know me and know how small I am, you'll understand)full of 10 people from Russia and an interpretor to Montpelier. I guess this falls under the category "other duties". It was quite an experience! This week has been insane. I have only been in the office 1 day this week, and am very behind on things. I also have the car of the program director (we're switching off van/car) and she's a heavy smoker. Yuk.. I have smelled like an ashtray all week! It has physically made me ill. So, I'm so stressed by the week, and we go out for drinks and dinner. We have flatbread (pizza)... I eat a lot... It is very yummy...Roasted tomato salsa, black beans, corn, cilantro... But, alas, bread is bad for me. Wheat is bad for me. This morning I am very swollen and sick from the once yummy flatbread.
