Ever since getting here I have been feeling progressively worse daily. At times it feels like I’m coming down with flu or something and then it goes away and I feel ok again, for a little while at least. I thought it might have been our overly excessive lifestyle out here always on the piss and getting hardly any sleep. Since the Paddy Day blowout it’s been very quiet. Hardly done anything or gone anywhere. It’s been quite chilling and relaxing but it seems that’s not the solution.
This here could be the reason. An article by “FindArticles.com”:

“Environment: Tirana is now the most polluted capital in Europe, clogged by 300,000 vehicles burning fuel that is banned in the EU and pumping out PM10s.”
I’m getting a little concerned since I have actually been physically sick 2 days in a row, Yesterday I went down for breakfast feeling a little tired perhaps but nothing out of the ordinary since I had just woken up 40 minutes before. I ate my regular breakfast of eggs and cereal and some fruit juice. I sat there for 5 minutes talking to others around the table before I had to excuse myself. I went back up to my room and just in the nick of time. There went breakfast. No carrots though which was quite strange. When I had eventually parked the big white bus I felt ok again and off to work. I had little lunch just in case.
We finished work late last night after a long day so a few of us decided to go for dinner and a few drinks. I managed one beer and dinner and was too tired to carry on, We just went back to the hotel and I went to bed. At what I think was about 2am I got woken up by porn on my TV. ** I fell asleep with the music channel on that switches to porn late at night – but that’s a whole different story**. I switched the TV off and was just lying in bed when I felt this acid in my gut again. Whoh Boy! And I’m up driving that bloody bus around again! Still no carrots. Very odd. But I felt better for it and went back to sleep.
Now I feel a little hungry but I’m worried about having anything cos I don’t wanna waste any more money by chucking it up again. I have paid for 3 meals so far and gotten nothing out of it! Hey… This is better than weight-watchers. Come to Albania and lose weight, Bulimia style.
On another note: The project is getting delayed, morale is getting pretty low, irritation is setting in, everyone has their own personal issues at home they are dealing with and most are just getting sick and tired of being here I think. Lets hope things improve when we move out into the wilderness. Oh yes that’s right, we will be living in rooms 3m x 3m and having meals that will total the value of €4.00 per day. Goody. I cannot wait!
