Saturdayyyooo. Daylight come and I wanna go home.
It’s been a relatively good week. Not too much stress and anger. We are having issues at the moment but it’s out of my hands so I feel there’s no real point getting worked up about it. The camp is becoming more bearable. People are becoming more relaxed and there is more of a social environment growing amongst the people. Every night there seems to be something going on which is good.
I have a guy living down the hall from me that plays music loud in his room all night but I’m glad because I love music and he has good taste. Good old rock! I can sleep to that no problem. Sometimes when I’m working on my computer late at night I will just leave my door open so that I can listen to it. I think people are generally being considerate about others feelings and even though these walls are paper thin I think people are mostly aware of this now and take that into consideration when having conversations on phones or walking down the hallway.
The biggest issue we are having right now is the heat! My God it’s hot. These rooms really are just big plastic boxes that are sucking in the rays in the strong afternoon sun and that heat doesn’t dissipate until well after midnight. I think I might have mentioned before, there is no airconditioning in the accommodation blocks. Many people will sleep with their door open and have their fan aimed at the door with the intent of pushing air out the door and hopefully sucking cooler air in from outside. It’s a great theory and one that does actually work to some extent.
Food is still the same so no comment but we have been assured that it will change soon. My shower still floods the bathroom but I think I have realised the main source of the problem and I don’t think it’s too difficult an issue to sort out. I can do it myself and plan to this weekend.
There will be no Tirana for me today or tomorrow. I really have too much non-project-but-still-company work to do which at the end of the day is beneficial to me so it’s in my best interest to get it done. I think that’s what I will be doing all day Sunday. This will officially be my first weekend in camp and I don’t mind because it has been my decision. Things might still change and at a last minute brain fart I might just commandeer a vehicle to get the hell out of dodge for a while.
Have a great weekend. Take it easy. Have an ICE COLD beer for me!
Nice song (as always)… I just had visions of that old movie Beetlejuice when I heard it. LOL.
You do seem pretty calm and relaxed for someone who’s working the whole weekend. It beat working while being p-ed off!
Lou - You know, I have never seen Beetlejuice…. lol. It’s always better to work in a positive frame of mind so I am just hoping that no one pisses me off from now until close of business today. Holding thumbs… Take it easy Lou. Have a good weekend

Only God knows how much i really love weekend, and now with all the heat and power cuts weekends are less enoyable. I am afraid that even a cold beer at Iri…can’t address this problem. So may be is not that bad idea to stay in camp and get things done…i’ll do the same tomorrow in my domestic camp..hahaha…Have a good weekend
WL - It’s 23hr:33min:39sec on the weekend and you manage to type. It must be a quiet night without me in town. Im sorry. Maybe we can do lunch. Tell your people to call my people and lets sort this out…
U2 for Dorinana being at the Irish and all…. X
