a few of the stories have had an impact. other times, i was simply helping my colleagues feed the beast, and trying to impart some advice about basic reporting skills at the same time. there's been a lot of ups and downs, but mostly, i feel proud of the job i've done, and grateful that i've survived!
but there's also been a lot of time where nothing was happening. ghanaians have a really relaxed attitude towards work, and some days, the agenda didn't extend much beyond lunch. i can't even begin to estimate how many hours i've spend in the yard just bs'ing with my colleagues. the slow pace of work used to really annoy me, but as i look back, those are some of the times i treasure most.
it's a lesson from university all over again. sometimes, you can learn more by about yourself and others over a beer! so, as all outgoing letters from luv end, here's a pictorial ode to some of the great times at work.
luvingly yours,
bren/kwaku
