Interesting times in the Middle East

With uprisings taking place throughout the Middle East, and history being made, it is an interesting time to be here (for those of us that are safe). Qatar is not really affected, but there are demonstrations in every direction around Qatar). The nearest trouble to us is in Bahrain, just to the north of us, and also in Yemen, to the south. Here on the camp, had a few drinks and games of Pool at the bar with a few Phoeninx members last Thursday evening, followed by a long lay in on the Friday. I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks, as there are problems with the Steam system. So a team has been put together to simulate the Steam control on the OTS system, and correct the problems on the plant. This is very high profile, so the pressure is on! I have another two weeks here before having a two week break, so I am looking forward to that. Several people are leaving over the next few weeks, including another three of the Ozzies, and a few Indians. Serkan is on leave at the moment (another reason I am so busy), then comes back on March 5th, for his final rotation. Martin Brown has recently joined us, after 8 years at Honeywell in New Zealand. I will be going to lunch soon, followed by puting my feet up and resting, after another good session in the gym.
