Good evening :)
I don't have much to write just yet, just still getting into good habits now!
Today I started training a few of the people who will be covering my responsibilities while I am off to Bangladesh... it's a little nerve-wracking! On one hand, I am worried my boss won't be getting the support and immediate response of someone dedicated solely to making his job easier, and I am very stressed out that I will be coming back to an office full of banking coordinators who resent me for taking so much time off in such a large chunk and making their lives more difficult, but on the other hand it is nice that most of my backup is cheerful about helping out while I am gone, and my boss is supportive of me going for this amazing opportunity. My bank (thankfully) is very big on helping out the community and helping employees grow, and I definitely appreciate it!
Other than work, still just lining up my ducks! I have an appointment next week to get the Typhoid vaccination, and I just had blood drawn yesterday to make sure I have enough antibodies left from my first round of Hep B vaccine I received when I was a kid. I am only at the stage of looking online as far as bringing gifts for our gracious hosts, and still working out my banking and legal situation while I am gone. Somehow leaving to go to Bangladesh for a month is taking more energy and preparation than moving to Australia for a year had...
Thinking of gifts, and not even of the Christmas variety (although Christmas is less than two weeks away... Yikes!), I think I need to bring back little somethings for the wonderful ladies who are making sure my boss and our department continue to run as smoothly as can be expected... guess I will have to wait and see what kind of goodies I can find in the markets over in Bangladesh!
Signing off,
Stephanie Babb
