TIA

I am doing a drunken entry……

This is why:

Its all a little bit shit really.

Seriously you just wouldn’t believe the level of incompetence I am faced with. I mean I’ve come from the NHS, which we know is run by a bunch of arsewipes, but some days this is on another level.

I mean can you imagine in the UK actually sending a text to an MP who is a complete and utter stranger inviting him to a national policy launch. Now I admit it is “lean” but still, a bit fecking mental. Even more friggin bizarre is the they answer. Whats that about??

AND THAT IS THE GOOD SHIT!!!

The bad shit is when a man, a high ministry official, with a Ph feckin D from a BRITISH university is so stupid as to  believe that a document will telecommunicate itself to the fecking printers from the other side of the country. Oh there will now be no actual ‘policy document ’ to launch, so, that just makes it a party then yes?? Well I suppose it is my birthday after all…..

Also somewhat bewildering was this man thought it was important to invite someone from water sanitation unit to a policy launch on rehabilitation. To be honest, that greedy lazy bastard should be out trying to manage the cholera epidemic which has just broke out, not having a free lunch at an event that doesn’t even share the same language. Oh yes the water guy has ‘kindly accepted’ the invite. The knobhead.

It was bad enough when this arseholes assistant told my project staff that he was going to the bathroom and did a runner. Worse still that I then had to send my project manager to support the project officer to hunt the twerp down. But now that I’ve learnt that the tosser has planned an official launching when key ministry official are out of town and they’ve suggest a VSO volunteer officially launch the national policy, then I start to loose it a bit. I mean a VSO volunteer!!! WTF

My favorite bit in all this is that those thieving bastarts, who will be out the country while some random bloke off the street (OK that’s unkind he is a professor and ex international health consultant), introduces their national policy – and in effect doing their job, will still insist on taking their allowance for their part in the launching!!

There is an expression amongst expats who try and live in this environment:

T.I.A.

 Now half of you reading will already know what this stands for in medical terms. Transient Ischemic Attack, or a mini stroke to the other half reading

Here is means ‘This is Africa’ but I’m not sure there’s much between it really, same difference actually……

But I’ll tell you what the rub is shall I…

It’s that to cope with this monstrosity I obviously have to drink myself into oblivion and to top it all THIS WINE TASTES LIKE SHIT!!!

Rant Over.

Good night

(now will I regret this in the morning???)
