Switzerland: First Day at the World Health Organization

8:45am- Arrive to get badge
9am- Meet supervisor in lobby
9:01am- Get a cappuccino with my supervisor
9:10-10:10am- Chat over a cappuccino
10:10-10:45am- Tour of WHO
10:45-12pm- Complete my first assignment: “Go to the library, Liz, to check your e-mail”
12-1pm- Lunch
1-2:30- Wait for a speaker to arrive
2:30-4- Listen to speaker
4pm- Go home 

 Yes, it’s true. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into my first day on the job. Not everyone can truly influence global health policy all in one day’s work.
