May 13, 2008

Today we had some of our potential employees come by the office for some hands-on training. The three who came stayed almost all day and seemed excited about the work. We are continuing with the classroom training tomorrow. As we were talking ot them in the morning Felipe was translating for Jack and Felipe said he wanted to tell them something. He wanted to tell them that one of the negative things about working here is that we don’t have “shima” for lunch and we usually have sandwiches. Shima is the main staple here and is kind of like a big ball of cream of wheat (without the sugar I usually put on it). He said it jokingly, but you could also tell he was kind of serious about it.

We went out to dinner tonight and received our food in record time… 55 minutes – they must have already had a chicken running around in the backyard to use.
