Going to Africa
I sent out a message a while back on a potential job in the Congo. Well, that fell through. Funding was not approved.

Now, I am going to do a 10 day volunteer job in Liberia in July. They will pay expenses but I need to take vacation at work. I have decided that if it comes to it, I can live on my protein shakes for 10 days. Since today is my 2 week bandiversary, I haven't really had much else anyway.

Gotta go get VISA pictures, dr letter of health, innoculations, etc

Work in Africa
I am a budget analyst in ND and prepare the Governor's recommendations for higher education, transportation, agricultural research, human services and medicaid. In Liberia, I will be writing narrative in support of the budget request for specific divisions of the country's budget.
