It’s day 3 of this week (if you work on an American calendar where weeks start on Monday that is). Hump day for most. But that’s only if you work a 5 day week. I have to work Saturdays so I guess I only get to hump at midnight!
The last few days have been pretty testing. Someone I care very deeply for is going through a pretty tough time at the moment back in South Africa and it is so difficult when all I want to do is be able to hug her and tell her that everything is going to be just fine. I know from the bottom of my heart that the process will complete one way or the next and all will be revealed and it will be wonderful. Easy words I know when you are not in that situation. I just keep placing myself in her position and I know exactly how I would be and how I would feel. She is stronger than me in that regard and will succeed wonderfully. Only she can decide which road to take and I will back her on whichever 100%. Comfort from a million miles away can be difficult but I know that SHE knows that I do care!!! No matter what! I’m here. As always! Please just think good thoughts and send her huge prayers! I know she will appreciate that!
On a project note, people are starting to move to the job sites out in the mountains. That means there’s going to be less and less people for me to play with after hours. That isn’t the end of the world though. It wont be the first time I have been on my own. I think it will be quite lonely walking home on my own to an empty hotel room and getting the same old room service. At least I will be able to catch up on sleep and do some reading. Hopefully it wont be for very long though. I think I am still scheduled to move out there in the next couple of weeks. The actual date keeps changing depending on who I talk to.
I had a good dinner with big boss the other night. We seem to see eye to eye on many if not most aspects so I think that I will be able to succeed in doing what I came out here to do. If that is the case then there will be no need for me to stay longer than 6 or 7 months. I do find it quite amusing though that every project I come out to I effectively have to try and work myself out of a job. Once the systems are up and running or fixed then I am supposed to be out and off to the next one (if one is there and in need) but I always end up staying so much longer. I think after this one I will go and kick back in Indo-China somewhere and just get lost for a while. Go and find me again and just sort my head out
Yes I know! I’m 32 years old with absolutely no direction in life. Everybody keeps asking me when I am going to settle down. I just don’t know. It isn’t going to be something I plan. It will just happen when the time is right. Maybe that time will never happen. Who knows?
I’m going to go and get lost in some work for a while. That seems to speed things up a bit.
See ya!
