At Peace Corps. Many times throughout my service have I felt that maybe working for the U.S. Government wasn't the greatest idea ever, but today I have been reassured of that thought. Am I just being cynical? maybe. Am I just upset? of course. Totally frustrated with life? yup!
When PC decides to jump the bandwagon on becoming completely reliant on technology to pay its volunteers, problems happen. When problems happen, PCV's get angry that they changed a perfectly working system in the first place, leaving us to hitch rides to town, beg our landlords for vegetables, stay at home when we could be working in the community and eat bread sandwiches.
So today, I will eat my bread and butter sandwich (for the third day in a row) and curse some person sitting at some fancy desk in some fancy office, situated in some comfortable air conditioned building in some first world country that has failed to pay its little worker bees at the bottom of the food chain.
