I am the panicky sort. Generally if things start faling apart, I panic. Well, that used to be me. Despite all the drama of last few weeks, I had this wierd calm that things were gonna work out. Dont be decieved though. I did have my down days when I thought the world was going end, but generally, I was suprisingly calm.
The problems were these: I lost my job, I wasnt paid, I couldn't sue, I have a holiday booked and no spending money.
Enter Nicky. I used to work with Nicky at my old bar that I ran in Juba (the one with all the animal rescues - We called it Bedouin Bar and Menagerie). She left her job there for basically the same reasons I did. We loved working together though. She has just got a new position with a company in Juba that caters and runs several camps AND she needs someone to help her set up catering sytems. Enter me.
I will be going back to Juba on Wednesday to do 18 days of work helping with costings, service procedures, ordering and stock control protocols etc. Wohoo! All expenses paid, and a wad of cash in my hand just in time for my holiday. Also, a possibility of a full time job should I want it after my leave. We shall see if I want to stay in Juba though. Anything could happen.
In the mean time, its a whole new company I havent worked for, new accomodation, new camp mates, and I just cant wait for the new stories I get to write in this blog. Bring it on!
Watch this space...
