Well, I won't be going to Senegal after all. Hope to hear something in the next couple of days about my new post, but for now I am forlorn. Was starting to meet some of the other Senegal HE/EE folks via facebook and they are a great bunch. I am sure the bunch I eventually hook up to will also be great. I am leaving my blog name for now, and will change it when I know where Ms Maggie is going. Luckily, when I signed up for this I signed up to go wherever they need and want me, so hopefully they still need and want me. sigh. sniff.
Meanwhile life at work is getting overwhelming. We are starting new projects and expanding services and they need me more than ever to focus on those things, but in order to finish up what I need to finish to keep things in good shape long term, I need to focus on other projects. The old "put out the fire now vs. teach a man to eat fish" Well, okay, that isn't the saying, but it is always the pull - do what is in your face or do what is the best thing to do.
The priority at home is to get ready for my Pieces of Peace Corps sales/party, where I am shaking loose the things I don't need while away for 27 months and don't want to leave packed up somewhere. It is a chance to gather with friends and pass some of my things to them that they might like, while helping me raise some money for the costs I will incur here at home during my service. We will eat, drink, be merry, and hopefully raise some cash for my homefront fund. Maybe by the party I will know what I am doing/where I am going. Yikes, and my passport sits at the PC travel office and I willhave to write a whole new aspiration statement, etc. etc. yes, we ARE having fun!
