The last one
Now that two of you have arrived to your new duty station, I am the last one waiting to settle. Octover is the last month for me to work in this ministry, and the idea of leaving this work soon, in fact, helped me emerge from my rather-prolonged depression. I think I have discoverd that my capacity to pay attention to details ,
or to be satisfied with attending to such details is insuffcient to work in Japanese bureaucracy. In other words, I would probably be happier (at least work-wise) in the field. Not a very good discovery if I want to have a stable, comfortable family life, but what to do....
Hope I am ill-fit only to Japanese buraucracy but not to international buraucracy... Chara, your report on the latter will be waited so much!!!

my dear, what can I tell you about HQ burocracy...more efficient than burocracy in Monrovia, that proves that UNDP Liberia was quite hopeless but still a big burocracy...but it's the feeling that I've nothing to do which is killing me, added to the fact that my personal situation sucks. Weird to say, when I read from Inger's e-mail that she met Raffaele, Yasir, Cory and she is preparing to be deployed to the most remote place in Darfur and I can imagine how much challenging work she will have, I feel a little bit nostalgic...

Well i am so far unable to meet Raffaele properly... We just met briefly on road side, few days after I arrive. But Today we are planning to meet, and cory would be there as well...
Chiara it is too soon for you to be depressed, alot is becasue of personal life, but be positive. Listen, this will be over soon, do not worry. As far as challenge is concern, take dealing with burocracy as a challenge and work your way up... may be you reap better satisfaction that field, you never know it might be much more satisfying :-)
