Highlights: stayed at home, working on receipts
Efforts to work my travel vouchers through “the system” have been systematically thwarted for about 4 months now.
In an effort to get re-imbursed for about $9,000 of expenses to date, I am re-compiling all of my travel claims, assembling the litany of forms that need to be filled out, including receipts for every expense, printing, signing, scanning,,, so that I can take all the digital forms in one shot to the embassy tomorrow & send them in to Headquarters Marine Corps… so that finance & dispersing can look at them and decide whether they are going to pay me or not.
Getting all this paper-work sorted out was an 18 hour job today. I hit the sack about 4am Tuesday.
Today was the election in Aceh… Tanwir sent an sms & said everything happened peacefully and smoothly. Great! Official results will be announced in January, but we should get the exit polls tomorrow.
Lydia and her mom got home from their 2-week adventures through Manado & Bali, and by the sounds of it, had a fantastic time hanging out together (= Lydia’s mom is very cool. It was nice getting to see her again before she heads home to Alaska in the morning.
