Meanwhile...Back in Sudan...

Saturday, March 18, 2006

Just think...I could be stuck in a cubicle!

So let me introduce you to the infamous Southern Sudan Center for Census, Statistics, and Evaluation (aka: 'The Center'). It may not look like much in terms of size, but I can assure you this little building sees almost as much activity as the local cattle market. To date, one of the biggest challenges has been determining which people actually work for the Center vs. which ones are random drop-ins who stop by to finagle free internet time, to get a document typed up, or just to visit for the heck of it.
Currently, my main responsibility is to create an organization chart for this new institution. Imagine my surprise when I realized that 2/3 of the people I assumed would be filling the 40-odd positions we're creating, don't actually have anything to do with the Center... It's gonna be a fun year!!

Welcome to the Corps, and to the "blogosphere", as they call it. As one internationally minded sandlapper (Columbia—go Cocks!) to another, I look forward to reading about your adventures in Sudan. You guys are the "core Corps"; I'm sure you'll have much better stories after it's all over than we do here in cushy Eastern Europe! ;-)

Keep up the good work.
