And they did it again. At the start of the week I get yet another email telling me what I need to do; things not covered in the original job offer. Alas, I made it out. But the week or two of rest is now gone because this; the whole "taking things slow" transformed into yet another week of extremely hard work! But alas, we are young and I think I made it through the toughest stretch.
For sure, but the interesting offering rides on the PhD, so that is cool. I might have the opportunity to get some overseas exposure, and to do some "serious" research for an author based here in Cape Town as well. All linked to the PhD. So that is cool, but as we all know, plans can change drastically! But as you said, all is in the Lord's hands, we can merely listen and do our best.
I am super happy to hear that things are going good! Especially with the bakery as well. And I am glad that you can relay the information to Marian. My soon-to-be-more-than-a-girlfriend will be visiting soon (June/July) then we will definitely meet up again. Looking forward to it already!
Shame man, I know how it feels after time away and the mountain of work that results in the interim. But as you say, you are still young and great that you can pick up the experience now, as then you will be prepared for the much work that you will still have to do.
Things are looking up for you and the PhD will unlock many new doors for you. I look forward to calling you Doctor and of course then I will push you to become a Professor. Just take care that research for the author will not interfere with your work. It sounds interesting. And I repeat that you will be guided from Above.
Working on it all of the time as a sideline, even though Papillon will not make any money out of the bakery, as a part of it will be free to the communities, and the rest will have to pay the overheads.
I am still waiting for a wedding invitation !LOLZ
Looking forward to your return.
Blessings.
Thank you so much! I really will try not to take on too much, and yes, for sure, nothing should impede the PhD at this stage. It needs to get out as quickly as possible so that my life can move past this work. I do not want to still work on it when I get a job and so on. That would be an interesting shift, in signing letters and so on I will need to choose the doctor option! It will also be interesting to explain to clients that I am not a doctor in medicine if and when I open a practice in the future.
I am sure the bakery will work out. There is a need from people to learn how to bake, especially sourdough bread. I am not 100% sure exactly what your plans are, but I am sure it will work out. Bakeries are a gem that people always look forward to visit, especially if the breads/pastries are good.
Keep well, and we will send one very very soon!!
