Jogging

Before lunch, I started writing some new job descriptions by demand of the Finnish national support element. When I didn't feel productive any longer (which was the case about only 30 minutes after I had begun writing), I went to work out on the cross trainer for 35 minutes. The rest of the PO staff had the possibility to go running today: the rose garden behind the NDS compound is approximately 400 metres long and 100 metres wide, and there are good footpaths all around it. I went inside to talk with the chief of NDS when the others went jogging. The weather was exeptionally warm today, even though it's the winter solstice. The weather here can be really odd: we were told that it was 7 degrees below zero in Kabul, and in a valley in Baghlan it was almost thirty degrees. When we came back to the PO, MOT D and MOT Z had returned from their long range patrol. Then the Swedish CPT (close protection team) and an officer from G2 branch came over for a visit. My day ended as it began: sitting in front of the computer, typing. This time it wasn't job descriptions but the report from the NDS meeting.
