Shane left a few
hours ago. I will join him on Friday in Niger. We will fly to Niamey
and on Saturday to Zinder. |
5:39 PM |
9-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
Then we will
travel to villages around Tanout doing an assessment. Just a short
initial assessment. |
5:41 PM |
9-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
I miss
'@inepdShane already and can't wait to see him in a few days. |

.'@cynan_sez You
just gave me a brilliant idea: we need microcredit-derivatives markets
for developing countries. '@inepdKelvin will love this |

InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I know it's late are you still up. |
7:23 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane Yes Shane I'm glad you tweeted I was worried about you. I
tried to called the office in Niamey a few times but you were out. |
7:24 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I was running around all over Niamey today making
arrangements for the explo. The change in weather is a bit tough. Low
40s |
7:27 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane Have you been able to get all the permits and find staff. |
7:28 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley The Country Director and staff did a lot of work before
I arrived and the logistics coordinator has been great. |
7:29 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley The only problem is vehicles. We only have really one
reliable vehicle up country for the explo. |
7:30 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley It also looks like '@InepdMercedes is come to the same
location with a celebrity. |
7:31 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley So I might have to leave a day early to if I can borrow
or hire a vehicle that is suitable for '@InepdMercedes. |
7:32 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane The celebrity visit is a big deal in the office. I have
never heard of Michael Tomasky. He is coming to the office tomorrow. |
7:36 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane I hope they don't get in the way too much. We are on
pretty tight schedule to get the assessment done in time. |
7:38 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley It will work out fine. We always manage to make it
through some how. |
7:42 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane Do you remember our explo in Afar in Ethiopia and we got
completely lost. |
7:53 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley Our Thuraya broke down and we didn't know our
coordinates anymore. |
7:54 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane We just keep on the with the mission and assessed the
wrong area. Then we followed up with a vaccination measles campaign. |
7:56 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley We only found out a few months later that we vaccinated
the wrong area. That had been done 8 months before. |
7:57 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane You were so stubborn, you insisted you didn't need an
interpreter since you had spent 3 months there in 2002. |
7:58 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I was stubborn then. I thought I was something special.
The vac camapign wasn't really wasterd, the 1st one had low coverage. |
8:00 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane We didn't get in too much trouble from the Country
Director. |
8:02 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley No we were lucky, then we went on holidays to Asmara
after the mission. Just watched TV for a week lying in bed mostly. |
8:04 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane I think it was the best holiday I had. We talked so much
about everything, changing the world and that we had to do more. |
8:05 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley We were so clear then on what we should do with our
lives. |
8:06 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane We move so far away from what we were back them in Asmara
by following the teachings of de Waal. |
8:07 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I agree. I feel embarrassed by what we did and thought.
It was if we lost our purity. We were foolish and arrogant. |
8:10 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane I feel that this explo mission is making amends for that
dark period of de Waalanism in our lives. |
8:11 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley We better both get some sleep. I will call you in the
morning from the guest house. |
8:12 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShane |
@InepdShirley I thought I would leave you with a song:
http://bit.ly/ey0sQ I love you so much. You are my life. |
8:14 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdShirley |
@InepdShane That is beautiful. I love you more and more each day. Talk
to you tomorrow. |

The buy back of
Inepd Derivatives is going well. We have to dip into our current
account and some reserves. |
8:21 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
We have all our
Time Poor Donor Assets in play now. We are setting up a large sell
next week with the expected media coverage we will get. |
8:23 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
On Howard and the
LSE MBA interns projections we will be able to cover our DFID debt and
our program expansion for the next six months. |
8:24 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
In total we have
around 16 million pounds expected to come in. Such an amazing
turnaround in our finances in few weeks. |
8:25 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
I had some
opposition from the finance department on Tuesday in our management
meeting on the buy back. |
8:26 PM |
10-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
I'm confident I
have made the right decision for Inepd's future. Opportunities like
this come only once in a lifetime. |

Just about to
board my flight to Niamey, Niger in a little while with Gema my PA and
Michael Tomasky. |
5:45 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Michael had a
great briefing today. Fortunately most program staff were traveling
this week setting up new Forward Accountability programs. |
5:47 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdMercedes |
Most of the time
Michael spent with the Marketing and Communications department and it
was obvious he was more comfortable in our company. |
5:49 PM |

I will be
traveling again tomorrow, so won't be tweeting much. Please follow me

Bit of a difficult
day with our Board of Directors. A complaint from finance was made
against our Inepd Futures buy back strategy. |
6:04 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
I suspect that
Gary from Accounts was behind the complaint. He was never happy with
using Time Poor Donor Asset derivatives. |
6:05 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
Then he got wind
of the Inepd Futures buy back strategy earlier this week. I guess
Howard and the LSE MBA Interns couldn't keep it quiet. |
6:06 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
Today I had a very
tense meeting with the BOD but in the end was able to reassure them
that Howard and his team strategy was sound. |
6:08 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
They were
particularly happy at projections that next week we would likely cover
the DFID debt. Particularly important for our brand image. |
6:12 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
I believe in the
scheme so much that I would happily buy Inepd Time Poor Asset Bequest
Futures myself! |
6:14 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
Just remembered
'@InepdMercedes asked me to promote her field visit to Niger 10am
Sunday GMT. |
6:16 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
Her visit is to
promote our Inepditude Campaign (Inepd Campaigns with Attitude)
"Forgotten Conflicts , Where are They Now!". |

|
|
|

@InepdKelvin Your
strategy is extremely risky. You should diversify your investments.
You just have to much invested in Inepd Futures! |
|
|
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@Gotliepsen Howard and his team have left for week to have a well
earned break. Even if I wanted to I couldn't reverse our Inepd
Investments |
6:32 PM |
12-Mar-10 |
|
|
Gotliepsen |
@InepdKelvin It is
of the utmost urgency once futures trading starts on Monday you
diversify out of Inepd Futures. |
|
|
|
|
|
InepdKelvin |
@Gotliepsen That is exactly our plan, to sell high Monday!!! |
