Wow, that was a while ago!

September 18, 2007

It’s been more than 10 weeks since I wrote the last post. There is so much that has changed in this period of time, guiding the lives of my wife and me in a total different direction… and country.

The new job

My wife Barbara, a demographer, was recruited as Deputy Program Manager Statistics of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). For this we needed to move to Guyana, our neighbor to the west, where the secretariat of the CARICOM is located. She was very excited about this new job, because she will finally get to “get her hands dirty” with all those numbers and stats.

The preparation

For me it meant that I had to try to finish as much of my work as possible, since I didn’t want to leave too much unfinished while I wasn’t around. I went back to spending days and nights working. Unfortunately I still didn’t get to finish all I had planned to.

Barbara was also finishing up her work there. She still had some work at the university to finish and at the office she was preparing for her leave.

Around the house nothing much happened until the last week or so. We had movers who would do the packing for us, so there was not much to do. This was good, because we both had our hands full with work.

The move

Our household goods were sent to the movers to be shipped and we hopped on a plane in the early of August 25. Since we got here we are staying in an apartment, while we’ve been looking for a decent house to rent. Barb started working, and I was at “home”, trying to get as much work done as possible.

This was very frustrating, since it seems like everyone suddenly wanted their work to have first priority, since I’m no longer physically around. That got me back in the same vortex I was in 3 months ago, until last weekend.

I decided to get back to my schedule. Now I’m freeing up time to do those things I love. These include taking care of my blogs. I spent some time looking around, and now I’m ready again.

I have some nice projects I will be working on in the near future. I will try as much as possible to keep everyone updated about my quest of making money online, full time.
