Hi Everyone! (Although I'm not even sure if there will still be an everyone out there! Maybe no one will be checking my blog anymore, since it has been so long since I posted! :-( )
Oh, well, in the hopes that I still have a few readers left, let me update you all on my life. The reason that I have been so busy is that there are a bunch of new North American trainers that have come to work at our office with me. One is here on a year contract like I am, while the other three are here on a temporary basis (though there is already pressure on them to stay longer!) So, I've been spending most of my free time helping them get adjusted to India-finding the things they need, teaching them how to get things done, and translating (well, Log gets to do most of that!)
Basically I have realized that our company has learned absolutely nothing from the original group of NA trainers that they brought here. These new trainers all had similar stories of being picked up at the airport by a company driver who didn't speak much English and dumped into an apartment with no information on how/where to get food, change money or the like. In fact, there were originally 4 temporary trainers, but one has already decided he couldn't take it and jumped at the first opportunity to go back.
I, however, am happy that they are here. I didn't realize how much I was missing Ralph and Tim after their respective departures...and how alone I felt. Therefore, I'm doing my best to help them get settled here so that I will have company for the remainder of my time here.
Anyway, I have lots of stories to share-including a trip to the hospital! But you will just have to wait a couple of days for that one.

Golly girl! I check your page daily and and after you zeroed out for more than a MONTH, I began to imagine a variety of different horrible fates that might cause your bolgosphere absence. Welcome back! Your public has been anxiously waiting.

Oh, how I wish competence was easier to come by in the US.

I dropped my blog here due to so many ignorant comments and have stayed with my original blog elsewhere, but I have you bookmarked and always check in to read. I'm glad to hear you are well and I like the new layout! - juni
