Sunday, I went downtown again, this time with Paco, Steve, Berg, and Steven. Trips downtown are always fun, and this was no different. We made our usual first stop at the mall for lunch and random shopping. Again, we decided to go ice skating, some of which I captured on my brand new Kodak Zi8, which is highly recommended. Berg hadn't been skating since he was 6, and throughout our session, we had a half-assed game of tag going on. Sorry for the shaky cinematography, but it's kinda hard to hold the camera steady on skates.
After the mall, we headed to the souqs for the kind of shopping where one can haggle. We also got adventurous and tried a random restaurant that left our bellies full and our mouths on fire.
Before heading back to base, we stopped at the bay to check out the beautiful nighttime skyline and listen to the waves roll in. The best thing about going downtown is forgetting all about work and getting away from all the chaos, even for just a bit. And this trip was no different.

Shut In
I've sat through way too many meetings this week, two of which were identical to each other, even including the same people. It's one of the worst parts about being in a management position. The funny thing is how our upper management will contradict itself from one meeting to the next. Case in point: "I'm not a micro-manager," followed the next day by instructions to turn in daily forms of exactly where and on which project each person is working. Ridiculous.
Plus, I'd much rather be on the job site helping out instead of stuck in a conference room. The day goes by a lot quicker when I'm productive and not staring at the ceiling while the boss drones on about vehicle safety.
Despite all that, things are going surprisingly well. A lot of guys have hit a mid-tour run of apathy, but I'm somehow focused and trying to keep everyone's spirits up. The guys on my team are getting along well, and the project is coming along nicely.
Also (and I'm probably going to jinx it here), I still don't have a roommate yet. Every day I get home from work hoping not to see someone's stuff stacked on the vacant bed, and so far, I've been lucky. Perhaps they forgot about me? If this keeps up for another three months, I'd be very happy, indeed.

Broken Hearts, Broken Bones
The talk all week has been about health care. The bill that passed and was signed into law yesterday has been polarising, to say the least. I've done research on what's in the bill, but it's still hard to know what exactly it will entail. Plus, I think a lot of people are only listening to representatives from their respective political parties, and not getting the full story.
Like most things, there are good and bad points. I'm glad insurers can't discriminate or deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. And giving tax credits to small businesses in order to provide health care to its employees is definitely a plus. But some things just seem random, like the thing about tanning salons.
Personally, I think health care is something basic the government should provide for its people; however, penalising people for not getting insurance seems absurd. As a member of the military, I enjoy socialised health care already, and this whole thing has little impact on me, directly. My biggest hope is that it will, as promised, decrease the national deficit.
There have been tons of protests, some becoming violent, over the whole ordeal. And I didn't even know it was possible for a state to sue the federal government. It's going to be interesting to see how all this plays out over the next few months and years.

Application Mutilation
I've been downloading apps like a mother. The App Store is one of the best things about the iPod Touch/iPhone, and I'm totally taking advantage of it. When I first bought it, I didn't think I'd spend much time there, but now I have pages and pages of apps. At first, I just grabbed a few free games and reference aids. But then I started finding other things that interested me. I have news updates. I have snow reports. I have converters and dictionaries. I have no fewer than five apps about Italy and the Italian language. I have travel aids. I have Facebook and chat applications. I have a calorie counter that has helped me lose eight pounds in the past seven weeks. I have an app that keeps me informed of all the votes cast by my congressmen. And, oh, the games. The best ones are so simple, yet so addicting.

Beware The Ides of March (Or Don't)
Today is the 15th, half-way through March. For many people, it's also referred to as Moustache March, and I somehow got sucked into participating. So I currently have two weeks of growth on my upper lip. No, I'm not posting pictures, but if you're really curious (and possibly a masochist), you can see the pic from last time. But don't say I didn't warn you.
This week also marks the half-way point of our deployment. I wanna say it's going by pretty quick, but that's not entirely accurate. I know I still have a long way to go. I find myself constantly thinking of Italy, and I can't wait to get back there. I need to try and focus on my job here, because the more I think about home, the further away it seems.
For now, I'll just focus on April 1st, so I can shave this ridiculous thing off my face.

Bonus Round
I found out today my extension in Italy was approved, which makes me a very happy boy. I wanted to stay another three years, but even after begging and pleading, I was only approved for one year, despite following all the rules. I ran into another guy from my squadron today who was also going through the same ordeal I was with his extension; however, he ignored all the rules, and was given a three year extension. Kinda makes me wish I would've been a little more devious. Regardless, I'm there until February of 2012. I still might get the opportunity to extend again, but that's a battle I'll have to fight next year.

Huddling Up
There will be some big changes going on in the this week. Well, only two changes, I guess, but both are major changes. The first is that some contractors are taking over our compound. We have to give up our meeting area/break room, and I'll no longer have my own office. (Single tear down my cheek.) I moved my stuff out of my office yesterday and into a giant office I'll share with the bosses and the other team leads. Our shop, along with the other three shops, will be relocated to a couple trailers on the back side of the compound. And all the tools and materials we use will be stored on the other side of the base in a shelter to which only we have access. It's gonna be interesting, having to give up all our space and work even closer with each other, but I'm sure we'll make it work somehow.
The second change affects me even more drastically. It seems the powers that be have decided to give certain people in my area of the base a roommate, and I'm one of them. I'm obviously not thrilled at the idea of losing half my space, but I really shouldn't complain. The guys on the other half of the base all share rooms smaller and less nice than mine. Plus, I only have about three months left here. I'm not sure who he is or when he'll be moving in, but I'm going to make the best of it. Who knows? Maybe I'll have a new lifelong friend by the time I leave.

Dry Heaving
There was a major water line break Saturday afternoon, so my dorm and this whole area of the base have been without water. I was off yesterday, so it wasn't too bad. I washed my hands with bottled water and walked to the gym to use the bathroom. I skipped my shower until this morning, where I went to the shop.
I just got back to my room from work, and thankfully, the water is flowing once again. It was only 48 hours without running water, but it made me realise how important it is and how fortunately I am to live in a country where I take something like that for granted.

Looking For A Signal
We've already started working on our next two buildings. While the first two we finished were completely bare when we started, the two we're working on now are in various stages of completion. This is both good and bad, as even though there's less actual work for us to finish, the stuff that has been done already will require some extra finagling to meet our standards.
But the real challenge lies in a more technological realm. Out of eleven guys on our crew, six of us came here with iPhones or iPod Touches. Three others have bought them in the past two weeks. These wonderful devices have wi-fi capability, and each building we're constructing lies right in the middle of an internet hot spot.
So I'm just waiting for the day to come when pipes are bursting and the building is flooding, but none of us care to notice because we're all too busy checking e-mail and downloading apps.

Cut Off
Something horrible happened this week. I'm suddenly unable to access videos on Hulu.com, apparently because I'm not in the continental United States, even though the fine print states overseas military bases are included in their broadcast availability. I'm now two episodes behind on Parks & Recreation, and I think I just might go insane. I tried watching it on NBC.com, but that didn't work, either. Somebody, Help!

Into A Beautiful Swan
We had the official ribbon cutting on our first two buildings today. It was a bunch of ridiculous pomp and circumstance that none of us really wanted to endure. Regardless, we're glad to have gotten this far, and everyone seems ready to get moving on the next two.
But first, I wanted to show a few before and after pictures. Here's the exterior.
The buildings were started by contractors who ran out of money and faulted on the contract. They sat unfinished for a year before we started on them.
Our biggest hurdle was scrounging for parts, and there was a lot of pressure on us. I seriously don't know how we made it happen, but eventually things came together.
I took these pictures today. It's weird to think the finished product ever looked like it did before.
With the materials we were given and the amount of time we had, I'd say we did a pretty good job. And I think the next two will turn out even better.
Special thanks to my crew: Rick, Ryan, Paco, Diaz, G, Steve, Joel, Aaron, Pretzel, and Steven. It's a pleasure working with you guys.

Local Flavour
Our trip downtown yesterday was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. We began the day with lunch at the Villagio Mall, followed by some light shopping, and then a screening of Avatar in the 3-D IMAX theatre.
Then, for dinner, we headed to the souqs. We found a great restaurant where we got to sit outside. Before we ate, we got a hooka, which, after much convincing, Rick agreed to try.
For dinner, I had lentil soup with couscous. The other guys felt adventurous, and all ordered camel in different forms. Aaron's basically looked like sausage links, but he said it was good. I took his word for it.
After dinner, we walked around the souqs for a bit, then decided to head home. On our way there, we stopped to take a brief stroll along the bay. The weather was perfect and there was a great view of the city across the bay. Doha really isn't a bad place at all.

High On Fumes
We've been putting on the finishing touches of our first two buildings, and I have to say, they look pretty good. We've all worked so hard, staying late and giving up days off. It's a far cry from where we started. The whole team seems so relieved we've reached this milestone, and the tension that ran so rampant a few days ago is all but gone. We're having a celebratory cook-out on Monday and the official ribbon-cutting is Tuesday. We'll have a week or so to take it easy before diving in to the next two buildings, which, God willing, should go much smoother.
In other news, I've had a bit of trouble sleeping since I got here. I fall asleep when I go to bed, but all through the night, I wake up every couple hours. I've been told the doctors here hand out Ambien very liberally, but I'd rather not resort to that. To help, I bought a feather mattress pad to make my bed seem a little more like the one at home; and last night, I only woke up twice. We'll see how it goes.
I'm off tomorrow, so Rick, Paco, Aaron, and I will be heading downtown. We'll be hitting basically the same destinations as last time, so it should be a similar trip, except for the guys going with me. And I expect it to be just as much fun.

Dust In My Eyes
I got to use a jackhammer today for the first time since 1999, and it was every bit as much fun as I remember. Not easy, but fun.
In the lead up to our March 1st deadline, things have gotten pretty hectic at work. I didn't get my normal day off today, as we still have quite a bit to finish. I've been doing a lot of manual labour in the sun, and have the farmer's tan to show for it. And the dust is insane, especially when we spend a good amount of time shoveling sand each day.
But even though I'm fatigued, dirty, and still getting over a cold I had earlier this week, I'm in suprisingly good spirits. The finished product is starting to come together, and I'm getting that wonderful feeling of accomplishment that comes with my job when I know I've done it right.

The Big Tree
I had my first real morale trip to downtown Doha on Sunday. With me were Austin, Steve, Steven, and Joel. And with all the long hours and pressure at work, we were all long overdue.
Our first stop was the Villagio Mall, which is basically like any given mall in the States. Joel is the only one whose home station is stateside, so the rest of us seemed to appreciate it a little more. And even though we could have eaten at Macaroni Grill, TGI Friday's, or McDonald's, we each opted to pick up cuisine of a more local flavour. (My falafel wrap was particularly scrumptious.)
After lunch, shopping, and ice skating (I know, right?), we headed across town to the souqs. The souqs are the old-style middle Eastern markets like you'd see in the movies, and they're divided into two areas. The first spot we hit concentrated more on gold and jewelry, with a few random trinkets here and there. The second area of souqs had everything from spices and nuts to clothing to musical instruments. And it seemed to go on forever. We mostly just walked around, stopping in random shops, and for a little while at an outdoor cafe to smoke a hooka. For dinner, we grabbed some pita bread made right in front of us in a round stone oven.
Sorry I don't have any pictures, but I'm here for another four months, so some should show up eventually. It wasn't my normal day off of napping and watching clips on Hulu, but it was definitely fun and lifted our spirits...at least until we had to go back to work on Monday morning.

It's bound to melt your heart
As I'm perpetually single, I rarely do anything to celebrate Valentine's Day. This year, even less so, since I'm deployed, which means I do as little as possible to remind myself of any holidays at all.
But this afternoon, a couple Valentine cards came across my desk, tagged with my Mother's handwriting. And when I opened them, I was hit with the smell of home, and for that brief moment, the love my parents have for me was almost tangible.
It's not my style to get sentimental, especially around such Hallmark holidays as this, but sometimes, I just can't help it.

Ups and Downs
Obviously, it's been a rough week. I had a few minor freak-out moments, and I can't even imagine what Chris's family is going through. I guess it's normal to wonder what he was thinking, but I've decided it's just a waste of time. So, I'll devote my energy to remembering our fun times together, and promise myself that I'll never let anyone have any doubts regarding how much I love them.
As for work, it was a pretty good week. Busy as all hell, but good. And as our March 1st deadline looms closer, it's only going to get worse. Luckily, the boss is allowing us late reporting tomorrow morning, since the Super Bowl will be starting at around 4 AM here. I'm kind of torn on who I'll be supporting. Being born in Indiana, I should cheer for the Colts; but my personality moves me to root for the underdog. Either way, I'm just going to enjoy the extra time off work.

Ocean of Noise
My friend Chris took his own life Wednesday.
The last time we spoke was about two months ago, when we made some early plans for him to come to Italy this autumn. It's presumptuous and arrogant to assume that maybe if I had said or done something different, then he'd still be around. But I can't help but think that if I boarded a plane to Utah right now, he'd greet me at the airport with a big smile and a bear hug.
I'll never forget the spontaneous weekend in San Francisco, where I first got to know him as we celebrated his 27th birthday. Or the trips to hockey and basketball games. Or the time we painted Doug's house. Or the Gwen concert where we danced like crazy people.
His 30th birthday would have been next Wednesday.
There's really no way to express the grief I'm feeling right now, as it's not something I ever thought I'd experience. I doubt anyone could believe someone so cool and amazing would take such drastic measures, no matter how bad things seem. Perhaps he thought nobody was on his side, or that he had run out of choices in life. Maybe he never found the love and acceptance he wanted or deserved. We'll never understand or make sense of it, but we'll pray he's at peace.
I'll miss you, Chris, my dear friend.

Worse Before It Gets Better
Finally! Some of those picture things I've been promising...but not too many. I gotta give you some reason to keep coming back here, right?
So, yeah, today is day thirty-something, though it seems we've been here longer. It's weird how the days go by so quickly, yet when I think back to last Sunday, it seems like forever ago.
Our project really kicked into high gear this week. We now have to show up to work even earlier, and our PT time has been taken away. I understand management wants the job to get done, but they obviously don't care much about our morale.
Still, we find ways to have fun on the job. We got two new guys on our crew this week, and they both seem pretty cool. The goal set for us is to finish two buildings by March 1st, and we're well on our way. The biggest hurdle is not having the parts we need, but we manage to scrounge around and still get stuff done, somehow. We've got a long way to go, and I just hope we can all maintain our sanity.

Trudging Forward
To say work has been killing me would be an overstatement, as I'm obviously alive enough to write this. Exhausting would be a better term. It's not enough that I've been putting in more than my required 12-hour days, which included a trip to the office today--my day off. I've also been trying to motivate and maintain the morale of my crew, keeping two of my crew members from attacking each other, and showing one of my bosses how to use that little click-y thing attached to his computer. (He even asked, "If there are two of them, do I call them 'mice'?" First, let's conquer the cut-and-paste function; then we can get into semantics.)
But there's an upside. We're already a month down, and the time is flying by, so far. The guys in my shop from other bases are all pretty cool. And the project we're doing is a great learning experience, not just in construction, but also in managerial training. I'm still working on pictures, but I'll have them up eventually.
Something keeping my morale up is the media drive on our intranet. There are tons of movies and television shows available to watch anytime. (Normally, I'm against pirating unauthorised media of any kind, but I just told you I'm working nearly 80 hours a week, so cut me some slack, okay?) Lately, during lunch, I take a few minutes to catch an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. It's one of the most depraved shows I've ever seen, and it's hysterical. It definitely lifts my spirits enough to move into the second half of my day.
