Well, finally got into the DSS office today. Your standard issue Botswanan seems to be a really nice guy (or, more often, gal) and these were no exception. However, since protocol demands that you get introduced to everybody, there are an awful lot of 'em.

Some funny things:

Botswanan names are really difficult to remember so often you're given a translation to call people by. In the DSS, Sit and Think share an office. Also, everybody gets issued with their own personal toilet roll because the ones in the toilet keep getting pinched; so I'm now the proud possessor of a Botswana Gov't issue loo roll (medium soft).

Not so funny:

In my meetings this morning it quickly became apparent that the work I've previously done, while it fits the requirement, won't be user friendly enough. I've undertaken to try and cobble a front end together (hopefully in Access) and retreated to Skillshare's offices to get some internet time. Ho hum.
