V late to the party but have some assorted ramblings to put down. Got another CVE conference this weekend and I'm not sure if this is a conference thing or a Kosovo thing, but if the point of the conference is evaluation of the strategy, why did we leave that til the last day of the conference which is in another city besides the capital and most people are just gonna ditch the last day because it's a half day anyway?? but my boss is throwing me an easy bone and having me do a small speaking portion to thank certain international groups for their contributions and also to introduce me as the Secretariat's point of contact for internationals so that's good. Albanian is a stupid language. Why would you put your definite article at the end of the word?? DUMB. I've been back into lifting pretty regularly again. Not every other day like I should be but 2-3 times a week which seems to work just fine for me. Weird things happen in gyms though. Yesterday I was doing squats and this guy wordlessly came over and strapped a barbell pad to the bar while I was resting?? because I'm a gal presumably?? it was weird. there was also a golden retriever jus chillin minding his own biz. had 2 interviews yesterday for jobs back in the states. biffed one and aced the other which I wanted more anyway so a win overall i think doing a really shit job at maintaining my blog. things keep building and happening and i like to process a bit before writing which just means more things happen so i have more to write about and more to process. kind of frustrated with myself and i know my family is probably more frustrated because people are probably asking them all kinds of questions they don't have answers to
