Gospel music, interspersed with the bleating of goats bounces around my office walls as I try to concentrate. The printer doesn’t work. Bugs scavenge for pineapple, which is concealed in a Tupperware box in my desk drawer (oh, for a fridge!) The photocopier doesn’t work. Colleagues abandon meetings when we’re only half-way through the agenda - to answer the phone, go for a walk, who knows…? The phones have been switched off & the power’s gone.
Whoever thought I’d miss managers, momentum & order!?!
Every day, the sun shines through my window; my desk isn't cluttered; the resident chicken has a new brood; lunch only costs 2,000 Ush (less than £1); I'm learning different ways of doing things all the time.
Maybe it’s not so bad.
& other tales of Swann-ing around in Africa...
