Well, as the song goes, "the thrill is gone"!! We are experiencing a shift in leadership which is bringing a great deal of chaos and if you were to know how chaotic this organization has been in the past, you can understand why it has become unbearable. It is too late coming and now that it's here, it's seems to be focusing on all things fun! We have new work hours and no swimming in the pool during the day from 0900-1800 which means by the time we get off work it's almost dark and too cold. We have to wear business casual and move in two to a room.
Of course that is not the only thing - it's the people really. I have met some great people here and we have done some amazing things in the 10mos I've been here. Things that people will not really believe - but now the new regime has taken over and some of the personalities involved are making it very difficult to be here. I think that things like this happen for a reason though, it makes it much easier to accept and often promotes change. I am so blessed that I have options. I am returning to my job in DC, many friends and to my apartment with all the comforts of home, and I'm starting to get excited about it. I am working on getting my Baghdad friends to move to DC and a lot of them live there anyway, so it is all good.
Not sure of my exact return date as I want to do some traveling before I head back, but it will be in the next 3 weeks.
I might still keep the blog though! See you soon.
