July 7: Mission within a mission

We head out of Yaoundé.

Yesterday’s derailed schedule continues to affect today’s. Things that need to be done before departure could not be completed by the time the office closed. Marcel returned to the office at 7 p.m. and was unable to complete his part. I was not aware of all that needs to be done, so end up waiting this morning. We pick up Annie. I discover that she is no longer coming. She bails out saying that she has a headache and then tells Marcel and M. Lobe that her boss assigned other work for her. I suspect it is because she is scared of all that I demand of her. I saw the seething anger in her yesterday evening when I kept her at work until 6:15 p.m. A pity for her, but really of little consequence on our mission. M. Lobe, on the other hand, seems to revel in the knowledge he has garnered over the last few days and seems ready to put in some good work.
