So compared to my ever so optimistic and happy last post this one will seem not nice…
Today was kinda an icky day… Jason is having a hard time traveling and it is hard to not be able to do anything to help him… the people who were supposed to pick him up in Dar es Salaam weren’t there… no one answered the phone number they gave him… he had been travelling for almost 15hrs and it was 11:30pm in Dar es Salaam… He had to find his way to a hotel that took credit card, very few did, and had to pay $150 for a cheap hotel room… He’s tired, exhausted and home sick and it really sucks to not be able to do anything for him…
It will also be interesting to see what the one call from Germany and the two from Dar es Salaam will show up like on our cell bill… UPDATE!! Just checked our cell plan.. it will be $4.99 for every minute from Tanzania… which is probably $30-40 so far and $1.29 from Germany which will probably be just $5-6 so far….
And because of dealing with Jason I was almost late to a meeting about subbing for next year… but the meeting was actually a good thing. We are switching to an automatic/online system so I can look ahead and take jobs… and tell the computer when I’m not available etc… It will be harder for specific teachers to request me though…
So thats life in a nutshell… I hope things get better for J… I would be so scared to be alone in Africa with nowhere to go and noone to call….
