Do the office shuffle




So yesterday, I (Heather) go to the office of the Red Nacional de Comercializacion Comunitaria (RENACC), where I think I will be working. There is a formal presentation and welcome for me, lunch, meeting -- very nice. Then I find out I will be working at a different office with a women´s economic foundation which is a member of RENACC. OK. So, I´m off to my new office in a few minutes. But... apparently it´s only for a month and a half. I will check in again at the end of August to update you on the office shuffle.

POST SCRIPT, 1 week later: Work is going very well at Fundacion Uñatatawi and I really can´t complain at all. I have a desk, computer, internet access, and helpful people around me. Some of my Canadian colleagues are working quite a bit from home and internet cafes where they have access to the web. It´s not ideal from a teamwork perspective, but I can see the reason for it. Flexbility is a job requirement... I think this is a lesson for me!
