My deadline on Wednesday has unterrified me, as it turns out it is actually my deadline on next Monday. Phew. While it’s still going to be tough, not least because I have to extract information from dozens of reluctant individuals, at least there are enough hours between now and then that it is theoretically possible to meet.
A person, foreign, at the office took my breath away today. The person was supposed to provide a fairly meagre document, three weeks ago, and still had not. Today they came to me and said they couldn’t do it because they had no Pakistani staff to do it for them. Shameful.
