So, the past two days have been filled with relentless demands on my time… for computer work. Considering we have no power, this is a problem. I keep telling people I can’t do anything to help them, but they still leave with expressions like: fucking white man, all I want is my _ fill in the blank _ and he wouldn’t give it to me… Sigh.
The sous-prefet died. He is the regional power here, and people seem to be running around like the world has changed. Apparently he has been sick for a long time, so this is no surprise, but there will be some heavy drinking this week.
