The Concept of Time

Our office at STP has been pretty quiet this week. We're coming up on deadlines and Aban, Donnacha and I have a lot of research to go through and documentation to put together. Additionally, we have to give Candra, our project assistant, time to translate the documents into Bahasa so everyone can read our findings, recommendations and expected outcomes. I'm finding myself sitting at my desk for long stretches of time without getting up for breaks. This has become easier here in Indonesia because we have a constant supply of hot tea, bottled water and yummy treat boxes to keep us fed throughout the day. I have to remind myself to get up and take a break.

The time really has seemed to go by fast. It feels like we have a bunch to do before Tuesday (our final presentation to the client) and Thursday (our final presentation to the Mayor and other stakeholders). It's hard to believe a week from now we will be finished with our projects and the final documentation will be handed off to our client. There is a lot of pressure there to make sure we are meeting the scope we have agreed to.

Besides the work time going by quickly, so has our social time. There are still places we want to go and restaurants we want to try, but between such a short amount of time being left and the fact we will likely be working some in the evenings it;s not a guarantee we will get to all the places. A week ago it felt like we had all the time in the world. Today it feels like everything has sped up and our time is almost over.

We've been making the most of everything. Now, we just have to continue making to most of everything (and maybe up the ante for a week).
