Tuesday, 26th June:
I started work on my new Greek project – on top of trying to finalise the bits and bobs related to my Greece Assignment too.
My EBT was still a bit up in the air, and I also had to try to deal with this – all I wanted to ensure is that I don’t get screwed by my team in terms of “money” that was rightfully mine. I had to calculate all of my cash expenses versus what the per diem monthly allowance should be, and see whether I am under or over my allowance! Under would be my aim, as I wanted to also profit from the work secondment – I didn’t want to be over, and then simply receive the cash difference! Although this would be mean I have “broken even”, I would feel I wasn’t in control of the expenses, and would have lose out on any potential profit! Apparently, my leader could be in trouble because of this – as has severe tax / liability implications to the company. If I had a VISA, I could have been told to come back on the next available flight – yes this cocked up! How embarrassing this would have been/
Athens was the hottest place on earth today – today, we reached 46oC – yes not a typo – 46oc (that’s 115oF!!). This beat the Middle-East's, Sahara's and mainland Africa's hottest temperatures today!! Wow! It sure was a struggle to keep my mental and physical (mind, body and soul) together!
