i started strong the second week. Sunday at Owino Market: buy paper and bracelet wire, entebbe: pick up jesse. I bought myself new sunglasses. Strategizing and asking questions. We'll interview everyone. What is your favorite color and why? Can you tell me about a happy childhood memory? Buying snacks for them and lunch for us and a generator for the lights. Had the serious conversation about bonuses and salaries - the kind that make me sweaty. Calculated and distributed paper and beads. Yelled about dyed seeds, but they came out ok in the end. Went rafting and got caught in a whirlpool - my first time, so i was scared. Bloody toe.
I repeated all of the questions again the third week. And distributed more paper. And negotiated rent per month prices and scrap per kilo prices. Picked up the aunties, more seed and bracelet wire purchases. Distributed paper again. Answered questions for myself. More sweaty discussions. Adding accounting: double buying, rent here, rent there, half month salaries, extra work, shipping, car rental. Happy Birthday baby of Lillian! We actually found the gold paper! That's right, watch out, its coming! Making samples. Broken beads again. More questions, more pick ups and drop offs. Goodbye Jesse! Make us look good. Aunt Sue? Where are you? Can you hear me? Another 24 hours in Kampala. Ate a great piece of meat. Ate some brownies. Stared at the pool.
