I’ve been on this journey for a week now and there’s not been a lot of blog-worthy post material. It’s been busy and that is a blessing. boredom and loneliness are the enemies. As long as I can avoid them the time will pass quickly, I’ll get a good amount of work done and I’ll leave feeling it was all worth it.
My roommate and replacee left yesterday leaving me in my own CHU (hut, bunk, whatever). It’s not home, but it’s better. The days here are 12 hours of work and meals, a few hours of recreation and/or relaxation, and sleep, rinse, repeat. It is a grind but like I said, it helps to make the days go by quickly.
Unlike last year, I’ve got wireless internet. That means that I have connectivity in the office and the bunk with a wide open connection. It gives me enough bandwidth to make a Skype call and slow web pages. And posting to the blog, of course. Most everything else is just how I remembered it – Hot, dusty, dry, and hot. Did I mention hot? Most days are running 110 to 115 in the shade. Thankfully the air at work and the bunk works pretty well so comfort isn’t a big deal
I made a poker contact yesterday. Come to fine out there are games 3 nights a week. I’ll check out my first real action tomorrow night. I’m not sure how much poker I’ll be able to handle with the compressed sleep schedule. I’m thinking 2 nights might be doable. I’ll know by Wednesday.
Time to get back to work. Thanks for stopping by.
