Remeocharlie -
Yes you maybe right, it may have sounded harsh but i will give you an example of the hard reality.
I type this message sitting in an Internet Cafe in Nabire Papua because our new mess doesn't have internet YET, no 3G no SMS and no mobile phone signal.
Last night it took over 6 hours to download my emails and longer to send any form or reply which didnt leave my laptop until late this afternoon. I had to do this all at a different mess and leave my laptop their overnight.
We are very strict for sure but I have my reasons. The emails from yesterday were mostly text with half a dozen CVs with their associated attachments. but in total 32 emails and that was a quiet day.
I havent even been able to download todays email headers yet so i have no idea how many are waiting..
Welcome to working in Papua..
