Working Lots

June 15 – Day 65

It’s hard to believe that I have passed the 2 month mark in Ireland! My first visitor is scheduled to arrive next Saturday and we are planning a road trip around Ireland and a weekend in London as well as meandering around Dublin. My friend is bringing a suitcase that my mom packed with lots of stuff from home that I can’t get in Ireland and I’m looking forward to receiving it. Right now I’m just working lots. The girl that I work most closely with on my work project is on Holiday for 3 weeks, so I have to take over her role on top of my own. I have now completed 2 weeks and 1 more to go. She and her husband are relaxing, hanging out on the beach in Florida and enjoying Disneyworld. She even packed 2 empty suitcases for shopping because compared to stuff here, even Banana Republic and Ann Taylor seem like discount stores. When they go on holiday here in Ireland, there is no contact numbers left, no checking in, no voicemail, they do it right and just escape totally and completely! However, I am very excited to have her back to share the work load. She returns June 25 and I’m counting down the days.
