Important news!!!!! (for me, that is)
« on: April 27, 2005, 05:16:02 PM »
Hi guys,
today I've been "officially" confirmed that I'm moving to a new project.
So, I'll be working on site, which means I'm leaving the UK (though not for good).

The new place (from Tuesday onwards!!!)....




























.........


Egypt!!

Yeap, that's me, moving to Egypt. I'll work like the offshore guys, but onshore. 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, 19 days in a row, two traveling home, 18 days home, two traveling to work, 19 days at work, etc etc etc


that's it!

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

That's awesome Gades... sounds like some hard work and a long time to be away from the family... unless they're going with you!?

Congrats Fernando. We spoke about this, but I didn't want to say anything before you did. Glad it worked out for you, but I still don't understand why you're designing boats in the desert :dunno:

(and no jokes about camels - they give me the hump.)

Good luck, and stay in touch.

he, thanks guys :)

Annika is happy about it, becuase I'll be able to be with her and Isabel much longer than I am now. I went to Mallorca last Friday night, and returned on Sunday night. This weekend I was doing the same thing, so it'll be nice to be with them for 18 days in a row. We'll be able to go on holidays and so on. Plus, my salary will be about 2.5 times the actual one :D

>> away from the family... unless they're going with you!?

oh no, you're not allowed to bring your family, they wouldn't like it and I wouldn't want to do it anyway. We'll be living in a condo, with some other engineers, everything is on-site, just half a mile from the office. You're not supposed to leave the premises by yourself (only with an arm guard and so on; plus never go on to the dessert for a walk)
