Wow today has been all about waiting. Uzbek time has smacked me up-side the head.
R and I ended up waiting an hour in the embassy so that we could get authorized to cash checks and then I went to the Insitute for my 11 o clock meeting that didn't start until 1 and lasted all of 5 minutes.
UGH!
I was trying to feel zen about it, chanelling the whole waiting is...kind of spirit but when it comes down to it I am too damn American to be content to be kept waiting with nothing to do for 2 hours - it drove me crazy.
On the upside, we got our comissary privileges today. They were out of peanut butter, but we now have non-Uzbek wine, Captain Morgan, pesto sauce, muesli, and barbecue sauce in our house. Life isn't all that bad after all.
