Its hard to believe it is 1 July and that already half of 2009 has gone by.  And, it is amazing how fast things can change work-wise.  Although some folks may not think much has changed (I’m still in Indonesia) … this time last year I was busy working away as a Controls Advisor thinking [...]

And so, the Indonesia government has publicly advised that H1N1 (swine flu) has been detected in Indonesia.  To date there are only 8 confirmed cases.  Reportedly, essentially all cases are associated with Australian tourists in Bali (after we left) or folks visiting Australia or Singapore.  Reportedly, there have been no human-to-human transmissions here in Indonesia.  [...]

Survived another weekend although I am not nearly as rested as I should be … nor wanted to be.  Of course, still fighting a cold.  Came home on Friday night at my currently “normal” 845pm.  Ate dinner and went to bed.  I was up bright and early (4am) and in the office by 630am (on [...]

Yesterday Chely, Decy, and Thasya met up with Samantha and Jordan.  After having lunch together they went to a place that had an indoor slide – which was about 7 floors high.  After doning safety equipment (helmet, knee pads, partial body bag for keeping their legs together) each took off down the slide.  Decy bought [...]

As it turns out – what I have is a BB Bold 9000.  Thus, Thasya nailed it on the head – she said it was a “Bold”.  So, I guess I do have a “hot BB”.  But, again, I’m not sure I will be able to take full advantage of the BB.  After all, it IS [...]

No doubt long hours and fatigue take a toll on one’s body (Chris – watch out) and now it seems like I am catching a cold (or it is catching me).  Yesterday my throat started feeling scratchy and I started sneezing.  Guess I better start taking cold medicine.  Urgh.  I don’t need this right now.
I [...]

Yesterday (Monday) was a bit of a nightmare as I came out of the weekend very tired.  Couldn’t hardly wake yesterday and then didn’t have time to eat breakfast.  Got to work and laid down under my desk for a little bit.  Then …. hussle hussle hussle until 8pm.  At about, which time, my blackberry [...]

After 10 days of approx 18 hour days it probably comes as no surprise that I was DRAGGING going into the weekend.  We closed out the weekend by joining Terry / Samantha, Bart / Andrea, and Steve Erbstoesser at the Darmawanza (sp ?) hotel for cocktails and dinner on Friday.  It was a very good evening [...]

For all intents and purposes there is Nothing to Report today.  Yesterday was another blur and my head is still in a fog.  Left the house at 530am … started work at 6am … finished at 945pm.  Home at 1030pm In bed sometime around mid-night.  Up at 315am. Ugh.
Ciao ciao. GBU.

Ah the joys of taking three days vacation (plus a weekend) … then getting to work six 18 hour days-to-back.  Made it home from Aceh at about 11pm on Monday – in bed by 1215am.  Alarm went off at 4am … on the way to the office at 445am.  First meeting (with Houston) at 630am [...]
