Breakneck pace
After my quick trip to the States a couple weeks ago where I spent 4 days on the ground and 5 days in the air I came back to a work load that I was not looking forward to. The first curriculum that I just finished up took me about 8 weeks to complete. The next one I have to do needs to be finished up in about 3 weeks. The reason for the hard fast deadline is simply that a container is leaving November 1st from the States and both curriculum’s need to be on it. It’s that simple. To make the deadline even a bit more challenging I’m heading up our annual Youth Camps this year where we’ll have around 450 kid with us over 9 days.
I know it sounds like I’m complained, but I’m really not. I don’t mind tough deadlines. To be honest it’s those that I usually hit. As for the camps. I don’t really enjoy all the preparation, but I know I’ll be having a blast once the kids arrive.
Well, that’s it for now. Time to get back to work.
