Nothing to see here.

I haven't blogged in a few days, because nothing very interesting has happened.

After coming back from projects, I've had four full days at Fieldbase, and I'm off out on project again tomorrow for a few days, back to La Cangreja, where I went for the PPV.

So the past few days have mainly been about making sure there was content for the corporate blog while I'm gone again. There are no interesting photos to go with that.

Apart from blogs, I had radio training for when I'm on radio duty, which I was a couple of days ago. Radio duty lasts from the end of the morning meeting until the end of the following day's morning meeting. It means you're the person who answers the phone and radio when project groups are checking in twice a day, or any time in between, meaning you're quite glued to Fieldbase, to the extent that you sleep in the bed in the Comms Room, which is OK because the bed is far more comfy than anything in the sleeping quarters!

Being back at Fieldbase has also meant that I'm on the rota for chores. Yesterday I was on lunch and opted for the humble sandwich for everyone: cheese and tomato; tuna, mayo and sweetcorn; and ham and mustard. Keep the menu simple, just like Gordon Ramsay is forever telling the morons on Kitchen Nightmares. It went down really well. People had obviously forgotten just how good sandwiches are.

Today I was on dinner with Sarah and did as I was told.

That's kind of it. I've been thinking about what I'm getting out of Raleigh. Even though my approach was not to have any expectations about expedition and to just go with the flow, I still knew what I wanted to get out of it. Having been here almost six weeks, I can say that I am getting what I wanted out of it.

On a professional level, I'm earning bragging rights for when I get job hunting, by creating and editing content with high engagement levels for a global organisation, as well as learning more about leadership and making me think more about the kind of organisation I'd like to work for.

On a personal level, I'm seeing and doing things I never thought I'd see or do, and I've enjoyed it. I'm not sure what that's doing for me but I like it.

I also write a personal blog and stick some thoughtful stuff at the end. You know what else had thoughtful stuff at the end? He-man and the Masters of the Universe. Just saying.

Until I return from project...

Pura Vida!
