Africa is the same old place. Nothing really has changed. Everything is covered in red dirt. The clean things of this place would be hideously dirty to many people I know. Lots of geckos, lizards, mosquitos, and other fun bugs.
I did see for the first time these tiny little frogs...they were kinda interesting.
This trip I am focusing on training the guys on a new accounting software. I am excited about the software because it will improve a number of issues that I am currently having with quickbooks. However, it is a slightly more complicated system and it only operates over the internet. I was nervous that the internet would not be working and all my plans for this trip would not work out.
Yet, the internet is working fine and the training is going well. I think the guys will figure it out nicely...I even had one turn to me and ask was this on an SQL server bc many of the commands looked like SQL. I was floored...he knew about SQL...well, yes it is on a SQL server and I am very impressed.
The hardest part about this trip is once again how lonely I get. I am a stinkn extravert. At night, I am alone. On the weekends, totally alone. I have brought TV shows and books...but they only last for so long. I have done fairly well but had a few tears fall on Monday after too many days by myself and the internet had gone down so I couldn't even call someone.
Tomorrow, Bob comes. That will be nice to have someone around at night and weekends (and he speaks english)...but Bob is an introvert and needs to be left alone...Yet, that is way better than nobody around so I am still excited.
