Today was our first day back to work, and our first day in the office since we have been out documenting the crèches and senior centers in the townships. Matt and I had a really productive meeting with Helen Liberman and Ishrene to discuss where we currently stand and where we see ourselves being at the end of our project. After that meeting, we had some stuff to do in the office to progress our project. It’s kind of nice to be in the office for once, things are slower and not as hectic as when we are out in the townships.
We had a guest today at lunch; Michael decided to join us at The Kitchen, as he had a slow day and was bored. If you remember, The Kitchen is where Matt and I used to eat everyday when we were in the office more (they make the amazing sandwiches with the tomato and basil pesto on them). We haven’t been to The Kitchen in awhile, but I am proud to note that the food there is still just as good. Michael is now also a fan.
We also made some headway today with the Microsoft Access database that we had constructed. Matt and I spoke with David Blake, the IT consultant, over the phone and he walked us through how to use the database that he made. Now that we know what all of the fields and terminology he uses means, we feel confident in our ability to use the database going forward as we continue our work here. Aside from that, it was a pretty slow day, just the type of day you need after a long break.
It is also worth nothing that the weather outside is beautiful today. It would be, on the one day we are in the office all day, haha. The last few days we were in the field were really wet and cold, and today it is warm and beautiful. That’s Cape Town for you.
Tonight, we are going to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There will be a review of that later, as well as a review of Tailgating, Sacks, and Salary Caps. Stay tuned everyone!
