Jesuit Volunteer Used To Organize Political Protest?

The last week has allowed me to prove to myself countless times how utterly unqualified I am for the myriad of projects that I have decided to undertake. I poked and prodded at compost, researched endlessly Maritime Northwest gardening practices, and contemplated harnessing the 37 inches of rain a year to flush our downstairs toilet.

At work I am redesigning the Real Change Organizing Project website, developing a new logo, and creating a new organizing strategy for the Greater Seattle Area. It should be noted that I don’t even remember the last time I organized a birthday party let alone a thousand person protest.

Regardless I have taken to diving headfirst into every project. After a week the compost is a pile of garbage, the garden has yet to be built, and there was 60 day stretch this summer without rain. The logo is little more than a couple of rough sketches, I am reviewing website tutorials because I don’t speak HTML, and the executive director of Real Change shot down most of our organizing ideas. So where does this leave me exactly?
