So much cleaning, so little time...

Today we put our poor office back together after the battering it took during the pre-meeting for KICK-OFF (a National Conference consisting of 20 facis, all of whom worked here during 2 days and some of whom slept in various parts of it!)

Now it looks good again (ready for tomorrow's visit of Christine Weber from Zurich Financial, for the Annual Report workshop). There is just one part that is not finished yet - that is my desk and its banlieue

Having started that mammoth task this afternoon i realised the bigger problem coming up - over the next 7 weeks i have to move out of my flat, my office, and Switzerland. When is all the packing supposed to happen? More worryingly, when am i supposed to do any real work?!!!

Looking at the mountain of papers in front of me i could spend the next 6 weeks just filing (today i started 2 completely new files, it is very exciting! Oh God, this is really getting to me, isn't it...?)

Oh well i will survive somehow, coz i don't really have a choice! And the next few days will be a masterpiece of logistical coordination: tomorrow morning i need to go home (i am sleeping in the office, missed the last tram 10 mins ago...), do laundry, pack for the weekend (see later) and then come back to work. At 6pm i am taking a train to go the wedding dinner of Stefan's (boyf.) brother in Brig (pretty town in stunning landscape but irritatingly far from Bern). On Friday morning i will take a train at 7, still wearing my suit as i then have a company meeting in Zollikofen at 10. After that i will race back to Bern, collect my luggage, take the train to Geneva and (hopefully) fly back to the UK.

Oh shit! Now i have checked my mails again & discovered that the meeting is in OERLIKON at 9!!! This makes things a little complicated. Hmmm. And the SBB website is down! I love moments like this... Looks like i will be taking the train at 6:18 :o(

Oh that has killed my mood. Now i guess i should go back to tidying my desk... Good night!
