Well I’m back in Nyanga and working away. The soil samples came back!!!!!! I have the results after what seems like months it’s done and I am now drawing the structural plans of the building. I’m going to say that again I am now drawing the structural plans of the building! I love that I am drawing, getting back to what I’m good at and what I know. Even though I am doing manual drawing, which I love anyways, it’s calming for me, I pop in a movie, turn on the computer, sit down and just draft away. I was up until midnight drawing and I didn’t even notice the time, I was just in heaven. It’s just soothing and relaxing. I forgotten about my drawings because I have been working in all the other aspects, making sure this person had the right information and that person was doing his job and reading and researching about plumbing and electrical and the latest in HVAC systems so that I understood what was going on when I talked to them and could ask questions. There is a reason that contractors are in the 30’s or 40’s and not their 20’s. By that stage of their career they know these things so they can do what needs to be done. I’ve learnt so much and I love it but I had forgotten that I also had drawings and calculations of my own to do. When it comes to my job I am a perfectionist, I want everything to be right and perfect and everyone to be the same. My roommate also tells me I am a workaholic and it makes her look bad (I think she works just has hard as I do) but the thing is I never seem to be caught up I seem to always be a few steps behind, I thought things in Africa happen slower, maybe it’s just me. Anyways I am back in Nyanga for a while which means less interruptions so this is good.
