while reading through the 128 page health and safety manual, that was emailed to us about a week before our departure date, i came across some invaluable gems:
1. a tip to stay warm during the -25 degree winters, "being dead drunk in the snow is a bad idea".
2. "don't forget to look up! icicle hazard."
3. "the large number of unreported cases <of HIV> makes careless sexual activity in Ukraine extremely risky." noted.
that's as far as i got before i was distracted by other PC tasks. looks like i won't be getting through that manual before training begins. it also looks like i won't be getting through my packing before training starts. i've spent the past two days trying to pack (in reality i'd organize for 10 minutes and then spend the rest of the hour running around doing other stuff i forgot i had to do before leaving). for instance, i needed to insure my brand new macbook that already has a 1/2 chewed through power cord thanks to my dad's cat, streets. but it's 1230am and i need rest because tomorrow my dad and are going to the zoo! plus i'm getting my haircut, have three "goodbye" appointments around the greater cleveland area, a trip to my office to tie up loose ends and i need to find a flipping mini osu football and buckeye candy for my future host family. all of this needs to happen tmrw. the following day i'm supposed to have a day date in cleveland and then head off to su's wedding. my goal was to be completely packed before i left for the wedding. looks like day date in cle is going to turn into packing date in streetsboro.
