Logistics

I flew back from Edinburgh last night on Easyjet, the devil's spawn. My flight was delayed by over 1.5 hours. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but since my flight was supposed to be at 9:20pm, and because I flew into Gatwick, an airport for which you need to buy a train ticket into central London ahead of time in order to get cheap train tickets, I also missed the train I had already paid for. So I paid more money for a more expensive train to get into central London, but by the time my "express" train (which took double the time advertised) arrived, the tube had already closed. And, of course, there were no night buses that go to my house and I was essentially forced to take a taxi. £25 later, I finally was home, close to 3am. Did I mention I hate Easyjet?

When I woke up today I had a message from the HR woman at this project, asking me to call her sometime this morning. It was noon her time when I got the message. Oops! So I called her and she officially said they want to offer me the position! Yaaaay! So now we're looking into logistics, such as what vaccinations I have versus which ones I need, whether or not I need to go see a travel doctor, malaria meds, when I could leave, etc. It sounds like she would like to get me to Haiti by this weekend, at the latest, so depending on how smoothly things go with the signing of the contract, etc, it looks like this is probably my last week in the UK! It's sad, scary, and exciting all at the same time. Will update as I learn more.
