Secretary?

Today proved to be exciting again at work, but in some new ways. We have a "shortage" of staff this week due to 2 of our pilots being in the States ferrying an airplane,one of our pilots being sick, and several of our national staff are on vacation. That said, I was the secretary today. This involved answering the phone, talking on the radio to our pilots and other villages, handling the "jungle mail," taking money, reserving flights for future dates, and whatever else needed to be done. Needless to say, at first it was a bit intimidating, and of course it was all in Spanish. It turned out being pretty fun, and learning that side of what we do will surely come in handy. I will probably be secretary all week until some of our staff come back. Also, tommorow we will continue to be short staffed as the father of one of our pilots passed away this morning, so he and his family will be leaving for Iowa tommorow. You never know what a day holds!
