I’ve been trying to get this form filled out for Peace Corps to take money out of my readjustment allowance to pay off a small school loan and need to get it sent in and approved asap. The post office is a long trip and the electronic pdf from PC gave us cannot be filled in on the computer. I tried e-mailing the information but was told I had to fill in the form – print, fill out, scan, and e-mail. Dear PC office, do you realize how difficult this can be in a small village? Miracle upon miracles I was able to get it working. It only took me a couple of hours too, which isn’t bad in the States and I had to contend with the power sometimes getting so weak the computer would shut off. I just hope they approve it quickly so my bill is paid.
I have a stocked chemicals room! I can’t believe it! Met up w/ my 2nd master and he showed me the lab and store room and gave me keys to them. The lab has sinks but no pipe from them to the trough in the floor. Something to think about when giving safety lessons. The storeroom has dozens of containers of chemicals so I made a list of them that I can reference when making lesson plans. There are also stands, burettes, flasks, and test tubes. It’s a veritable mecca of supplies. There are also various dead critters like crickets and lizards…and it’s not a biology lab.
Tonight I used some beans I cooked to create some bean burgers. They could use a little work but I didn’t use any egg to hold it together and they tasted great when I added Buck’s Seasoning. Good ol’ Buck’s. Kitty was playing with something and I thought he finally caught a mouse or small rat. Nope. Seems he caught a bat, probably the one that flew in the house last night. Apparently he likes catching flying things because he’s always catching insects and eating them. I’m still proud.
