Guns and Roses

We had scheduled a meeting with the provincial governor at 1000, but had to cancel it yesterday evening. Something had come up, and there was a shura (gathering or meeting) to attend. I used the opportunity to work out at the gym. In the afternoon we met the chief of NDS in his office. It was a routine meeting with only a little new information. But their rose garden is now in full bloom.


This picture is actually from behind the governor's office, but the NDS' rose garden is about a hundred times bigger.

The interpreters are arguing about their working hours again. It drives me mad: The one thing that I wanted the new IP's to do when they started their rotation at the PO, was to be able to agree on their leave and rest days between themselves, like grown-up people. If they continue acting like 14-year-old kids, I guess I will have to start treating them accordingly. My only comfort is in finding out that they lie to each other, too.
