It's been a long month. I've really started focusing on a few specific things and this sustainable occupy project has really been received well. I should post the first draft of its concept and then some other things as well in here somewhere. We are having our first full meeting of it tonight. Excited. Sadly most of the crew I tried to pull in hasn't gotten to excited, but there still will be at solid 7 or 8 people there tonight, and that is about what I had hoped to start off with.
The Africa work is as well moving forward. Yapo and I have been emailing back and forth every day or two for weeks now. Making plans, getting things moving forward. It has been really tough now though as I'm flat out mannying 50 hours a week, had car issues that took away the free time on the weekends, and just started this farmers market job. The hiking place fell through. Amazing story. I said I didn't feel comfortable working for them until they could pay me and they responded by saying they were going to let me go because they didn't think I was committed enough to the company or working as a guide. As if everyone should work for free for the owners longer-term benefit... Crazy! But I think I'm gonna try to sit for the hiking guide exam in September anyway. It could lead to some doors that I might not mind being open some day.
Anyway, the Africa stuff is looking quite positive and with the other things bringing enough income in to live, I should be ok. I've got time to put into sustainable occupy and alternative systems research, and the development work in Sierra Leone, the two things I am really excited about right now. Things are going pretty well.
