Yesterday was one of the longest working days of my life.
Every year, for 3 years now, OIA, the Office of Israel Affiars at the BWC has a reception for dignitaries and ambassadors and stuff at Naw Ruz in Jerusalem. Every year I have had the honour of being able to attend in multiple capacities. The first year, I was one of the Northern GArdens Department representatives - I drove a truckload of plants there and back and helped with the set up, and then during the reception I was a host. Last year, I was an NGD person and a performer, with Dillisk, the Irish group.... THis year the same. But this year is a bit different since it was the day before my last day at work. It symbolises my last big work project.
For the past few months we've been preparing for this. My part in general has been pretty small. Nomi in Haifa Gardens came up with the design, which includes lots of lights, stone ballustrades, a fountain and of course, a jillion plants. My job was to help get the plants ready, flowering and there....

I'm such a procrastinator. Is that my nature? Is that the genetics of my particular situation? Or is it something I can fix? Is it a habit? And why does this keyboard suck so much?
How do I leave here?
What do I do with 2 and a half years' worth of accumulated stuff?
Why the heck is there so much paper???
How do I not be affected by the fact that I'll leave and things will continue as if I were never here?
How do I divide my time in my last days?
Is everyone else acting weird or is it me?
How do I leave here?
