Hello everyone, I must share my frustration about using the notes app on i-pads. I had a page long blog written up for the readers to enjoy and I pushed something that deleted the whole thing, this wouldn’t be a problem if there was an undo button, but there isn’t. So from now on when I write long blogs they will be from my lap top haha. So today I will continue to update you all on what I am learning and experiencing. Lately, at work I have been evaluating paths of egress for emergency safety. I was assigned my own building to evaluate. It’s an important job and I have been very excited to do it.
I skyped home last night and chatted with the fam. My Dad told me how excited mom had been from being able to bargain for flowers at the greenhouse and it reminded me how much I am like my mom because of this story I am about to share. A couple of nights ago we went to a computer market (the guys and I). My item of interest was an HDMI cable to watch movies from my laptop on the t.v. Long story short I bargained my HDMI cable really cheap and after that I was gun hoe on everything I could find. I found that I loved to bargain for things like; my external laptop speakers, new ear buds, a computer mouse for my laptop, an external hard drive, and a couple other items. Okay, maybe I got a little carried away, haha, but it was a great night. So now I need to talk about some things that may intrigue you guys back at home so here is part three.
Ramadan is approaching here. It is about a month long fasting period for the Muslim religion. Muslims can’t drink, eat, or work from sunrise to sundown (first night prayer). We will be leaving before then but the consultants will still be here. The consultants will take on night shifts from 7pm to around 3 am during Ramadan. There are just a couple of rules during this time like; stores do not open until 3 or 4 pm every day and you aren’t allowed to eat in any public area until dark, out of respect for the people fasting.
Random news- I was not awaken by the sounds of jack hammers this morning. They have finished excavation across the street finally. The rock here is very hard so it takes a long time to dig here. Usually the top meter of earth can be removed by a bulldozer but after that they must use jack hammer attachments to break the rock up. I believe it took them a month and a half to dig 5 meters deep on a plot that had dimensions of about 200x100 ft. That’s about it right now…. Until next time, Thanks for reading!
