1729 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN Originally posted by drfoodlove Originally posted by nicole14e Originally posted by drfoodlove Originally posted by bulfrog Originally posted by nicole14e Had a crazy couple of days with work. Literally involving kidnapping and extortion (not me, someone in another country is trying to get a group to pay them federal funds as bribes and locked someone in an office until they paid them...). So I drank a little last night, and had an early meeting this morning. I'm starting to dread this race I have coming up at the end of April. Really need to hunker down and get training! I did make it to swimming the other night though. Got in about 2k yds. Wow, that's a stressful day at work. We've got busy all of a sudden. But nothing like that. Did it all work out? This is like a normal Tuesday in Egypt! The "tipping" culture is ridiculous! I know a woman who lost 70,000GBP from a grant because it was paid into a ministry bank account (by requirement of the funding agency) and then one day the money was just gone. Never did figure out which set of pockets it lined. Yeah I've basically been told that this is normal and we have overreacted by sending it up the ladder. I strongly disagree, so feel good about my decision, but overall feels crappy nonetheless. I'm right there with you thinking this is unacceptable behavior. It is a classic disconnect between cultures that can very easily being remedied if there were open and clear lines of communication about the expectations on both sides. I mean...if you expect me to pay something over and above the permit fees I have already paid, tell me...in advance, in writing, and with willingness to provide receipts for the payments. Exactly! I get that I'm not in country, but it doesn't change how we handle ourselves regardless. |

| 1729 Baltimore, Maryland | Subject: RE: Beer Drinkers Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2023 Mentor Group - ALWAYS OPEN Ahh good luck to your team, Nat! Gretchen, solid month! As usual, totally impressed at your consistency, even while in a foreign country. Scary about the earthquake though! I had a really nice book club with my girlfriends at my house last night. It went pretty late though, so I struggled to wake up, but am feeling much better now and, if it's not raining, might at least try to get a walk in later. If not, I will do a Peloton ride or strength. I was a bit burnt out on my Peloton, but I'm planning on doing this upcoming challenge to get back into it and get ready for my tri in June. It was nice to take a break. Might have to start off with an FTP test though, ugh. |
