An office is an office

So, as you can probably tell, I have been sitting in the office a lot recently. So nothing much to report. I am working on two projects right now, one is Legal Empowerment of Women and Disadvantaged Groups and the other is Free Election and Institutional Reforms Project. Both are pretty interesting. The legal empowerment project is just winding up and I am working on finishing up some manuals for NGOs. The election group is really starting to get going again on a new chapter. Voter registration is finishing up, and we are gearing up for the first elections (City Corporation elections in 4 cities). Really, we are hoping to test out our civic and voter education systems and our election monitoring stuff on the smaller scale before having to go all out with Parliamentary elections in December (hopefully). 

Other big news - John and I move to a flat today, which will be nice. We are moving in with a colleague and his family. He lives in the nicest part of Dhaka, in amongst all the embassies. It will be about a 15 minute Rickshaw ride to work everyday, but that's fine, and the Canadian Club is pretty much the halfway point. So that is exciting, plus it's the weekend! I know I am still working 5 days a week, but ending the week on Thursday seems like a nice little luxury. So, yeah, an office is an office, but hopefully get out into the field next week. Hopefully I will have a fun-filled exciting weekend and have lots of Blog stuff. Until then....

Oh and for all of you who are trying the press 219, I am sorry if it doesn't work. Riz, I don't think Foxy will get the hang of it unfortunately, she's smart, but the lack of opposable thumbs is an issue.
