Home Sweet Office/Home

I live approximately 10 steps and 10 stairs from my desk. My boss, the Country Director, lives down the hall and the "Durable Solutions" advisor lives next door. We're a very happy Tunisian-Canadian/Russian/Texan family, though Kamel (the Country Director) describes himself as "a monk" and Igor, the Russian Durable Solutions expert, has a passion for unicorns.

I think I'm going to adapt the current laundry drying location which strategically places my underwear in our living room where my co-workers watch TV. Slightly more mortifying was when I saw our housekeeper, Hanah from Liberia, putting my laundry in a pile on her head to carry downstairs to iron... I could just see her parading through the office with my bras on her head, but she thankfully just tucked the underwear into the other clothes and took off.

I have a room of my own with air conditioning and my own bathroom. There even is a little patio balcony overlooking the backyard with a pool. I'm living in the lap of luxury compared with the basement in Georgetown with no air conditioning. YEA!!
