05-31-07 Work continues

We have fallen into our groove. For those readers not familiar with the standard day for us…We begin our day with a small breakfast that we arrange for ourselves in our hotel. By 8:15 a.m. we begin our 15 minute walk to the museum where we meet the museum staff, sometimes for coffee. We are usually well into our work by 9 a.m. After our work day ends around 2:45 we usually walk to Al-Shamiat restaurant for lunch as a group. After lunch we usually split and take care of our personal business. Some pay a visit to an internet café, while others run errands, and some take naps. I usually fight the urge to take a nap. After visiting the internet café I try to edit the photos that I took during the day at the museum. This takes a few hours each day. Depending on everyone’s circumstances we sometime gather for an evening snack and drink around 7:30 p.m. This leaves a little time to finish up work before going to bed. I have been falling asleep very quickly so far.

I have been trying to read “Right Ho, Jeeves,” by P. G. Wodehouse, but have not had much luck due to exhaustion at the end of the day. In the plot-line as far as I have read, Jeeves has promised to help Bertie’s friend Gussie Fink-Nottle in his attempt to woo Madeline Bassett. If the story progresses in the standard fashion of the Jeeves stories, ultimately Bertie will attempt to interfere with Jeeves’ plan, but Jeeves with be two steps ahead and solve the problem, usually by means that lead to Bertie’s embarrassment or humiliation.
