Thursday - June 14th

Thursday, the Consul’s secretary walked in at 11:30 and asked me where the draft was for the speech the Consul was giving tomorrow. This was news to me. The speech I had been assigned was for a function next week, and I had already turned that in. Apparently there is another event tomorrow at which the Consul is speaking and no one had written the speech yet. So I spent my morning drafting a last minute speech. The real kicker? Our computer systems were on the fritz today. No internet and no resources for research. So I got to write the speech from thin air. I was given a topic. I’ll have to wait and see how tomorrow goes…
