Somewhat positive

Well, just to pretend i tried to update this week, I will say my current frustration for the day or week then maybe leave a positive note.

First off we got an entire truck of m nets, for malaria for global fund. This was expected, but they sent wooden pallets that the nets are required to rest a days before the nets. Well as sweet as it is, the pallets we needed are slowly getting here from Rundu, its just the nets came on time. The first 25-30 thousand we managed to fit with some creativity. (that was the entire back of a semi packed full, i felt like i was back climbing to get the first few bags out of the back as i had a toe hold and was crimping a spot on the side of the door). Then the second set of nets came.......... the next day, and they were just dropped to the middle of the floor leaving 25-30k packed in rows, and 25-30k in a pile the size of a house. Don't worry a quarter of the pallets to load them arrived late that day (6pm our time) and will hopefully trickle in each day.

Now yesterday I tried to figure out how we would get stuff sorted, cuase it turns out there are two types of nets in the exact same packaging. You have to read the fine print to figure out the difference, but unlike I figured, they were also not sorted before shipping. So that first days work of packing...... Yep need to re pack though too. I hoped they would send one type of net then the other but nope they were mixed up before we unloaded them, luckily if i wasn't worried about space, the Ministry showed up and dropped off about 700,000 condoms too. So right now my warehouse is a mess............ darn

Oh and for the good news, I get to get out of Katima on the 27th, its only a one day training (13000km there, and repeat the trip back) The best part is though the one of the BBall guys said there is a meeting, and they want me to go to WHK for the meeting on the 30th all expenses paid so I get free transport back and to spend a few extra days in WHK. I have a B-day party this weekend too that some people are coming over to Katima for, it should be a fun time. I will have to charge up my e reader and be busy (for I have read 4 books on the e reader and two that came with it as my distressing method)
