It was a late one last night – well by Rwanda standards anyway, I wouldn’t call 10.30pm late at home but then I am also still recovering from that eventful journey and we were working right up until my head hit the pillow on today’s Open Day.
At least I got a cold shower this morning (the water was off completely last time I’d checked), always a bonus when you’ve got a full day of interviews ahead in a busy hotel in Kigali!
I’m just writing this speedily before I touch base with the Shared Interest office back home. It is company policy to let your nominated ‘travel buddy’ know what you’re up to – and it’s usually a good point to let off steam and hear a familiar voice.
Right, got to dash or I’ll miss my staple breakfast of lukewarm omelette, omelette and er...more omelette (more on that later!) For now I’ve got over 40 people to present to at the open day in advance of interviewing for the Shared Interest Foundation post and time is against me. Wish me luck!
