So the reason I didn't post last week was because I had dengue. Dengue is a viral disease that you get from mosquitoes much in the same way you get malaria. It is nicknamed the "bone breaking" disease. They call it this because it makes your body ache all over. Luckily, my case was a seemingly mild one and I got away without too much pain. I didn't however get away from the energy sapping portions of it. There is no treatment or cure for dengue. You just have to wait it out and even now, 2.5 weeks after it started, I still feeling tired from it. I am slowly regaining energy but physically and mentally I'm drained by about 8 each night which is quite an improvement from a week ago when reading a book would exhaust me within minutes. That my friends is my excuse for not posting last week.
In other news, I have had a job change as well. I have been asked if I would be willing to take on the role of F&SS administrator. F&SS stands for Financial and Support Services. I have accepted this role and will be moving to Dhaka. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this job. On one hand, I hate to leave Bogra but recognize that I would be doing that in 7 months anyway as a result of getting married. It will also be more work and responsibility at the same pay! Lol, I find it amusing that I even think about pay. On the other hand, I recognize that there is a need for someone to do the job and it is a very good opportunity for me to get some management experience. The end result is this, I told the powers that be that to be the F&SS administrator is not my ambition in life and should such a time arise that I'm not needed in that role, they could feel free to ask me to step aside with zero hard feelings. The fact that my timeline should force me to choose a new direction in 1.5 years actually is one of the reasons I work out for this position to begin with. As far as I can tell, it is a match for both sides that has to do with taking advantage of opportune situations. I guess that's all most people really ever hope for in life...
