High Expectations

Wow. I'm posting again. Except, I'm taking a short, short break from work. So this will be a short, short post.

Just had a meeting with the Operations Manager here in Senegal. Showed him my work plan and my action plan. Both seemed good to him, and he and I both realize that I have a much clearer understanding of both what I want to do and how I want to do it. It makes my work become almost a little exciting!

Just a few thoughts:

Going to the washroom takes on a whole new meaning when there is no longer any toilet or toilet paper. Still, if I am to survive in the villages, it will require I adapt . . . ha ha ha ha ha. I encourage anyone wanting a change of pace to try it.

Temperatures here remain similar to back home. So, I'm rather enjoying myself, not dying too much of the heat.

I'm gonna have to get used to silence soon in the evenings. That, and earlier bed times. Often, there isn't anyone to talk to, and with the American lady downstairs leaving for 2 months in 1 week, I'll certainly be by myself a lot . . . I'm hoping village visits will be filled with good evening banter.

I'm off now to go shopping for food in Kaolack. Should be a good time (a wider selection of vegetables, fruits, and hopefully meat that can be trusted . . .)

Thanks for all who post. I love the comments.

And again, happy birthday to all those celebrating this week.
