Day 18-19: Playing catch up

When you take time out of the week to visit operations outside "home base," it tends to put you behind the power curve so to speak. Day 18-19 for me were days I used to play catch up -- which I did nicely.

As there's only a limited number of choices to entertain yourself here, you find work a viable option to do just that. In the end, it doesn't seem much like work anymore but a more of a way of life here, of focusing on something other than being away from home, family and friends. For me, it's not having options to attend professional sports events, see a movie in town or travel openly.

It's living in such situations that you realize just how well you have it back home. Things you thought important really aren't here.
