The Mystery Meeting

The Louisville folks came by Orange Grove this morning and toured the camp. Frank showed them around and I kinda just followed behind. Then he took them down to Pearlington to see a more "normal" camp (since the headquarter staff don't stay there.) and to visit a house the teams were working on.

I ran to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple things and then Don picked me up and we drove to Olive Tree. Shortly after getting there, I went to the Project Homecoming office with Megan to pick up a projector screen for the presentation.

We had little sandwich quarters, chips, and salad for lunch. Then we had the presentation. It was insanely long. We were there for 3 hours and then headquarter staff had to stay even longer. It was sorta boring and extremely tense. There were a lot of unhappy people. The Louisville people have made some changes in how we spend/get approval for spending in an attempt to cut down on how much we are spending. The petty cash fund is going to be called the emergency cash fund and will only be $50 instead of $500. If we buy anything over $50 (with the exception of Sam's and gas) with the corporate credit card, we have to get approval from Frank. The corporate credit cards are going to be issued under our names instead of our positions. I think that's all the major changes they made.

Anyway, then Don drove me and Chris home. We stopped at a bait store so he could get crabs for his fishing trip tonight and then we briefly stopped by his house. We got back to camp just in time for dinner. And that was today.
