2011. Damn. 2010 was up and down. I had some really good times and some really shit times. I hope 2011 is better though. Not sure what is going to come. Working contracts is great for the money but it is a very uncertain field. I hope to keep contracting for the next coupe years. I need to get myself set up financially for a...

So. I get promoted but have to cancel my vacation in October as a result. So I reschedule for Nov 1-14. Not ideal in any way. I am getting a back piece started and had 2 sessions booked in October but had to cancel them. I was only able to get 1 session on short notice in November. I am not overly thrilled. I am...

So Kosovo is still the same. Same old politics. Same old bullshit. Same job. I got promoted, which is good. More money and a better gig all around. They took my October vacation when I got promoted. That kind of screwed me. I had 2 tattoo sessions booked and it is hard to get time with my artist. So I am taking vacation in November...

Not much new to say. Kosovo still blows. Not much has changed here, just more foreign troops on the ground. It is strange that for a US base it is probably more non-US personnel/military. I do hope this springboards into a gig in Afghanistan. There is so much more money there. A few guys I have worked with for a while are going to Afghanistan....

Wow. Haven't posted anything since the end of April. I have been glancing at sets on here but that has been about the extent of it.
Kosovo is still the same. It is just nice to actually be making money again and being able to save some of it. Not much really going on. Just trying to ride and do yoga as much as possible....

at least you will get to do some traveling, I would really like to do some traveling, seems like I can never find the time or money.

I have not seen lost either, maybe I should check it out, everyone I know loves it.

I really need to do more reading.

thank you for wishing me a happy birthday!

Back in Kosovo. Not what I wanted but it works for now. I will look for other things but will ride this out and make the easier paycheck for now. I can get my security clearance reactivated and maybe get a better gig elsewhere. This will build my bank for now and allow some travel. I can start working on my back piece and get...

well at least it is somewhere that you know, so you know where to go for fun and where not to go, that maybe good to help you think, that way you dont have to think about getting to know the area.

Where do you want to travel?
nikonphoto80:

It is pretty nice, needs some things changed, but those are things that will get done while Im there and will help bring the value of the home up.

Well I hope your travels go well where ever you may go.

So I got contacted by both Kosovo and Afghanistan. I hope the Afghanistan thing plays out. It is a lot more money and a different environment. Either way I will be out of her by May 1st. The Kosovo thing is landing May 2nd. We will see. Either way I am out of here and back to contracting. I don't really want to go this...

Thank you so much for your kind words.
And wow, you're relocating to Afghanistan? That will surely be one hell of an interesting experiance.
nikonphoto80:
Well I hope you get the Afghanistan one, that would be great.

That is good, it must be nice to have a women in your life, to bad you will be gone away from her soon, Im sure she will miss you.

Did you enjoy the pretty things peepshow? Did you get to talk to the girls?

I cant wait to see Rollins.

Never heard of that guy, but I like what he has to say.

Kind of hating my life right now. We are getting fucking pounded at work. We can't keep up. The department is shorter staffed than it has ever been before and there are more referrals coming in than ever before. That equals no fun time. There is just way to much work and not near enough time. I already sacrifice some of my own time to...

Im hating my life as well.

Im really sorry things are not going well, I hope things at work get better and it is ok to get drunk from time to time as long as it doesnt hurt you the next day.

We have been getting a lot of snow this year as well, but no where near as much as you are getting.

I would like to get into yoga.

Good luck, I really hope you can find a job that you can live with.
nikonphoto80:
I know how you feel, nothing ever works out for me either.

Well you really should go, it is an amazing show and those girls are so sexy, but also Rollins would be nice as well, he is going to be in Lexington soon and I will be going to that.

Me to.

I guess I should update this. I have been very absent on SG.
Work is still kicking my ass. I deal with bad situations and bad people. It is what it is. I have started applying for contracts overseas again, Afghanistan, Iraq and others. I need my Masters to ultimately do what I want. The only way to do that is to have more money,...

well I really hope you can find a contract job that you will enjoy, or at least one that doesnt suck to bad.

I cant wait to see the new SG video.

I really need to start going to the gym again, I really do miss it.

Not watched the lord of the rings in a while, I guess I should pull it out and watch them all on a day I have nothing better to do.

So, xmas has come and gone. Uneventful, which is a good thing. New Years eve will be as well. I have gone out on New Year's Eve once in the last 5 years. I kind of gave up on going out on New Years, it is over-hyped to me.

Work is tough as usual. It is has been high stress, tons of work and consuming....

Well you should just go out, you may have a good time, Im going out to see a band play, at least I will get to see some live music.

I hope work gets better, even if you dont want to stay there, it could at least be more fun while your there. Drinking is fun, just as long as you dont over do it, I hope you can slow down. Im sorry to hear you hurt yourself, are you better now?

Well I hope you find a job you can live with over seas and I hope you are abele to get your masters and do what you want to with your life.

I need to stop writing about work on here. It is just a huge part of me right now it is hard not to talk about it a lot. Stressful as hell. Next month is going to be a nightmare. There are 3 people transferring so our workload is going up more. One employee who has been there for a long while said "I can't...

i hope so to, all i wanted was to stay long enough to get a house, so that kind of sucks, but it will be nice to not have to go back to that job for a while.
