The problem of the moustiquières

It's almost 10:40 and we're not at the office yet. It's been four days and our mosquito nets are still not hung. The holdup? The guy at the atelier hasn't come by to drill holes into the ceiling. The first day we got here, the atelier was closed. The second day, it was closed. The third day, he was gone for the day after we got home. Finally, I told Mbacke, I have to have my net hung today. He said he talked to a kid at the atelier who said they would come by at 9:00 AM to hang the nets. At 10:00, we walked over there ourselves to talk to them and they said they'd be by soon. We're going on 11:00 AM now and no sign of them.

While I am anxious that we're missing a day at the CCA, with a workshop for young artists going on, and lots of stuff to do, today my priority is hanging this forsaken mosquito net. I will not stand for any more nights of mosquito biting!
