As it seems now I am a short timer down here in Haiti.  It might be as early as monday my long haired ass gets to get on that jet and go back to the cold.  I have to say that I have enjoyed this messed up island but the customer made it extreamly unenjoyable to overkill that word.  Home fora bit is what i want after these four months away,  SO soon people soon you will have your Z back with stories to tell and beer beware.

Well here I sit with the future up in the air.  Who knows what is going to happen as I have not been writing much here the last month.  As much as I like this shit hole and the people i work with and the Security department.  So who knows

Well if you read this you kow I am working in Haiti.  As if you dont know you do now.  I am contracted to one of the major cellphone companies here. (there is only 2).  but anyway Well customer is at it again.  This site that they are pushing for us to do is one of these worst areas in this city.  The site itself is still under construction.  The shelter is ready to go.  There is no tower, that is no big deal the problem is that is it not secure.  It is in the dock area that is swarmed in violence and theft.  Which is why we need the walks to be finnished.  As the locals have talk to us about it, and where I and members of our crew have seen dead decapitated / burnt bodies.  There is no way the shelter can be safe for us with out the walls, door, and razor wire about the shelter.  Kidnapings are on the rise again as there still targeting locals.  As the owner of the Montana hotel was kidnaped but returned after they paid for her, also another influential business person was taken down town. 

Well the expats down here they have there eyes on as I am one of those people.  So this is the last straw I do belive for me as I was considering, well was going to come back here but i don't think that will be an option anymore.  So stress and all that it does to me has been a norm now but signing off for tonight cause I have to deal with this tonight.

Well as the tiem lingers on here it is getting harder and harder as the feelings of isolation set in.  I know every one has there own lives but like it has always been when i leave town i just get to distant.  Well the troubles incountry have gotten worse as far as the customer.  I mean well there becoming to unreasonable and causeing problems when we wont do what were nto getting paid for after they lie to us for weeks.  Anyway.. tired and pissed

IT all started with working all day and missing the first snow fall wich i do always love.
Well what I was freating happend.  Another one of my favorit holidays that i coudl have been with my loved ones missed cause of work.  Well this is the second one that it has happend but it was not only me this time it was also the 4 others that i am working with.  Well the co-workers and I talked to the hotel and got them to set up a buffet turkey day shindig for us.  With this all but 2 of the security department showed up as well and we had just a blast.  Food, booze was flowing.  Laughing jokeing and being marry was had by all until....

well one of my co-workers that we have gotten good freinds found out that his uncle who was like a father to him had passed on.  As those that know meknow how much it hurts to see those i care for go through that.  well as the night moved on as the somber moment lifted.  A few of us went to the casino next store to the hotel.  Well they were making the drinks strong and all were having fun until one of my other co-workes fell into an empty pool about 7 feet or so.  As those that dont kow every thing downhere is pretty much concrete.  Well sobered us all up quick and spent most of the night in the hospital with him as I only got 1.5 hours of sleep and worked 10 hours today.

so.. here i sit again pondering what is next in this ountry and only 3 more weeks to go.

Well i know it has been a long time but for me, The Z it has been a hecktic time here in Haiti.  Well only one day off in 6 weeks, but the cash is good.  Been burning the candles at both ends trying to get stress relife.  Notonly do we have to worry about not getting killed down here the customer is getting more and more unreasonable by the day and being incharege i have to deal with it all.  But i dont want to get into it as well im trying to just relax as it is getting harder and harder to.  I cant wait to get home and get a chance to just relax and see every one that I miss so much.

well till next time

A day

Well well well here is the Z again to those that actualy read this.  But things are calming down here in country thanks to my felow co-workers.  but after finishing a project today i had a ok dinner and well won 300 US on the blackjack tables. Otherwise it is buisness as usual i wish i was home.. i want my family and freinds and damn this friggin place  if it id not make me money.  As i am not doing it for the money.. im doing it for a shit load of money

Well what should have been a good weekend and a week turned into a nightmare.  Now Here my favorit holiday that just passed is a 4 day weekend.  I was covering some of my team mates that were up north and should have had them home friday.  But a missing cable and a screw up in the system had it where they came back monday.  If they could of came home i was going to hop on that 45 minute plane ride to the D.R.  Anyway that is no big deal there is time to do it again.

Then the rest fo the week hit with the new builds.  The customer well out and about lieing every chance they have making our job extreamly difficult and bagering us every chance that they have to why we are not done.  Makes me want to pul every hair out of my head.  But like always the Z shines threw and pushes on.  Here is my first day off in weeks and i know i have not poseted here in a while but now you know why.  As hopfuly i can get to go home early i have not been home in months.  and when i did get to go home, well i have been home for 9 days since June.

Well now there comes a point in life or well actions you have to reasess what you are doing.  Now myself i have been away some considerable amount of time from the ones i care for.  Now the money is great.  I am on a island that most well probly would not want to go to but i am here.  To any that know me I will be home before you know it and yea know why i do this.  I do enjoy what i do for a living and traveling but after a while it seems so empty and not worth it.  Anyway just a thought on my tired mind, just a bit burned out from no days off and what not.
