GSO staff observations

I went on a picnic with many of my staff at a temple outside of Kathmandu. I was the only woman in a group of 50 guys. It is the first time I realized there are only 4 women on my entire staff, when you exclude me. Odd, but driving and maintenance do not attract women professionals yet here. I hired one more woman for a purchasing job, so now there are 5. Anyway, the picnic was fun, and I had the chance to dance, laugh, eat and drink for a day and remember that my staff loves me, despite the fact that they are not getting ANY raise this year because of budget cuts.
