Project Engineering 101

I bet some heads perked up at this title. Yup..I am using stuff I learned in project engineering here. So what kind of things? Making sure things get done and on time, people meet commitments, they are enough resources and tools to get the job done, etc. Here in TZ they say sasa hivi which means right now..but really it is not right now as we Americans think of it, right now could mean 30 minutes to an hour later. The culture differs and the pace is different. Unfortunately I still have the American view of time as being important, but I hope to change that to adjust with life here. To learn patience and to slow down a bit..which is one of the reasons I am here out of many.
