Puerto Rican Livin'
Hola Amigos,
Okay, so here's the scoop. After dumping WGI for good and promising never to return to such a frustrating company, we kissed, made up and got back together.
Yep, I'm here in Puerto Rico working on a much less physically threatening (and much shorter) project that previously in the Middle East. True to form, this is also a much different standard of living. Follow along -
I am living in the Marriott Courtyard on Isla Verde, which is here in San Juan. I have cable TV, a king sized bed, and a full size bathroom. We have a free breakfast buffet daily, and my office is not walking distance from the hotel. I don't wear my ID on my sleeve, wear work boots, or carry a flashlight. I shop at the mall, and there is no PX/BX to be found. No one wears BDUs or carries automatic weapons. It is a strange world indeed. To round out the experience, I take a trip home about every three weeks, so it's not that bad.
Okay, for those of you still living in Iraq, just disregard all of the above as the rantings of a deranged lunatic because you know that there can't be a better life than that provided to you in the desert. I'm talking to the civilians that don't know any better.
Anyway, I figure with a new job that is was time for a new webpage, so here you go. I'll start posting pictures soon enough so be patient. Alas, staying at home was just not yet meant to be for me. There is just too big of a world to be built.
Adios,
Pooh
