Working for a living - #funkyframefriday
I took a job, a non software related one. And maybe I glommed on to a job, when I do the math I am pretty sure there is no net profit here for me, but such is life, and that is more than just a sum of transactional occurances.
But, I'm on the road again.
On this trip I expect to gain:
- Additional experience and observations on tourism, culture and development
- Fun pictures for my blog
- A nice experience with my wife, and supporting my wife @ecoinstante in what she is top-ranked at: birding.
People come from all around the world to see "birds", berracos pajaros por allí, as some of us say locally, and there are those local "experts" in birdwatching that serve as guides, both physical/logistical guides, as well as interpretative guides.
I am a simultaneous translator, so I know a thing or two about "interpretations". And let me say that in the "world of birding", its about more than just language.
Like any other specialized type of field, there are words, jargon, and culture all built up. Being an interpretive guide is not reading a script, you don't say the same things every time, or even in the same way.
Its a job, for sure. But, it can be fun. Plus she is literally playing a points based game called "eBird", which I can strategize and feel like I'm helping her "win". For science, or something.
Additionally, despite the inconveniences of travel, there are some bright points, sweet spots on the road, like where we found ourselves last night, above el Parque San Antonio, where a travelling man played me a song that made my heart burst.
Flaca,
No me claves sus puñales
Por mi espalda
And of course I through down my billete de dos mil, heart felt donation to the power of live music. And then I thought of the Funk master @powerpaul, and his Funky Frame Friday contest - and tried to snap a picture to capture the beauty of the moment.
I'm not sure I succeeded.
If anything, I have some days of hard work and heavy focus in specific moments, and lots of time outside my comfort zone to meditate, think, hopefully write, and generally "reorganize" all these thoughts.
We've passed our 4 month "anniversary" at Team Mithril, and we are still committed to attempting to "do everything, but in the right order". We think there is a path for us to walk: fun, fruitful and fulfilling.
We have met tons of allies along the way. "We" has grown and widened. Everything needs doing, "we" will do those things in such order as to be the most sustainable. Sustainability goes beyond software, into our lives and into our visions and dreams.
Working with others solves a big problem, which is "there is too much to do".
But if we all work together, some day soon it might not even seem like we are "working for a living". Everyone, with their different skills, doing what they love and contributing to a series of happy and healthy ecosystems.
In this way HIVE supports what we are "already doing".
I love you both so much!
Not everything has to be profitable, sometimes you gain good times and beautiful memories, and if we help our loved ones in the process, that makes it all worthwhile.
And about the non software related, I always remember Choi:
A hug. 🤗

you have to enjoy every moment

have fun mi amigo
Colombia es hermosa. Saludos amigo
Absolutamente hermosa!
Hola @ecoinstant, como sé que hablas español te escribo en mi idioma.
Sabes, me alegra mucho que tengas la oportunidad de trabajar con tu esposa en esta experiencia.
Llevar a los turistas a ver aves, a lo mejor, no es rentable económicamente, pero sí es una experiencia grandiosa a nivel emocional, que deja muchas amistades y permite el contacto humano, con personas de otras culturas, lo que de por sí enseña mucho.
Creo que es importante este tipo de experiencias, y sé que le vas a sacar el mayor provecho, además de que te dará buenos aportes de estudio en tu carrera.
Le deseo lo mejor y espero que disfruten los viajes al interior de esa hermosa tierra que es Colombia.
Hi @ecoinstant, as I know you speak Spanish I am writing to you in my language.
You know, I'm really glad that you have the opportunity to work with your wife on this experience.
Taking tourists to see birds, maybe, is not economically profitable, but it is a great experience on an emotional level, which leaves many friendships and allows human contact, with people from other cultures, which in itself teaches a lot.
I think this type of experience is important, and I know that you will get the most out of it, as well as that it will give you good study contributions in your career.
I wish you the best and I hope you enjoy the trips to the interior of that beautiful land that is Colombia.

Come get MOONed!
It's just like that, if we want to work, we have to walk after work, hang out with our friends, enjoy ourselves. When the mind is relaxed, we will be able to work harder.
I wish you immense success and indomitable success, my friend. Y'all are certainly flowing well I'll say that. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
