I suppose it wasn't such a crappy day, but a very stressful one, and I don't feel like taking on this stress anymore. I feel like I've given enough. It started with rushed plans for a spur of the moment press conference, to contain some story that had leaked, accompanied by a lot of scrambling to put together a press release and media advisory, and translate both of those. All this was done with my stupid cell phone ringing every 2 minutes. I had to deal with the stupidest Embassy workers ever, who got pissed at me because I had the audacity to say that they should make the hotel reservations for their diplomats, and that no, I didn't have the space to welcome a team of 7 people to work in our office. There are limits to our courteous I'm willing to be for good political relations between my office and Burkina Faso.
Then I had to deal with my boss who wanted me to remember all about a private conversation he had with another person. I know that last sentence doesn't make much sense, but believe me, it didn't at the time either.
I actually had the time to make a few phone calls, finally, to moving firms. It looks like my move will cost me around $2 000, which is just great news, really.
There's a big chance that I'll have to go and play nice to the Burkina team tomorrow, which thrills me to no end.
I guess it was a crappy day after all!
