My Humble Abode

Welcome to the place I call home. It's hardly 5-Star, but as far as Rumbek accommodations go, you can't beat it. I've got my own shower, an internet connection, and a functioning air conditioner -- all hot commodities in Southern Sudan. And best of all, I get to share my trailer thin wall space with Kirk! We can converse quite happily without ever leaving our rooms. It just doesn't get any better than this!!

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!!

How high can YOU jump??
This picture is for all of you folks who didn't believe there was absolutely nothing to see on my blog. Have a lovely day!
