Unfair weather

God it is COLD here in the UK!! I am looking forward to escaping this snow and sleet.

We have set out some basic project objectives and tried to prioritize them based on current needs and what we know about the IT infrastructure currently. However, the whole process is an iterative one and we are likely to see many changes throughout my project schedule. The UK team has been very supportive and assured me that the program can remain relatively flexible based on my feedback in the field, the project needs, the girls skills and training needs, and how I am feeling during the travel – that means how I well tolerate bug bites, a dodgy stomach, and a potentially very soar rear end from several of the over 12-hour drives across dirt roads. The mention of the heavy rains and potential flood along in the Western district has me a bit concerned. I can swim pretty well, but my crocodile wrestling skills might need some brushing up.
