February the 7th and Bored

Well it's Thursday the 7th Feb at around 3pm in the afternoon here, 8pm UK time.
Sitting in my new office or should i say different office and there are two other people in it and I’m new so it’s not really my office but it’s an even older trailer than the one i had down in Mississippi.
I'm pretty board right now, I’m the only one here, we’ve hit some problems which are stopping us from running the fan and doing much so i just have to sit here while the insulators finish and go home.
Julie one of the others here as actually just left site today she is on her way down to Mississippi, to Stennis where I was not to the project that I was on but to another one tomorrow. So it’s just me and Fred now who I know from my days in Korea, looks like I will be going over to Japan next and the guy I will be going with is Fred so that’s good news as I get on well with him.
It was Fred’s apartment that I was staying in while he was in Japan, I’ve moved out now he’s back and I’m back in the long stay rooms I was in before, they are pretty good there’s a little fitness room, free laundry you just have to buy the powder, and they have a DVD library.
Have been trying to get to the gym I joined as often as possible to work off some of the meals you get here, no one in America has heard of medium portions, there all pretty good though so it’s hard to say no, am about done with the fries and coke though. Have actually ordered a few salads but they come dripping in all sorts of dressings so don’t think they’re any better for you then a Big Mac.
One place I quite like though and it’s probably one of the least healthy is Waffle House, only been a couple of times but for some reason it reminds me of Pulp Fiction and just seems to be what I expect an American diner to be from the films I’ve seen.
Haven’t really got a lot to say but shouldn’t be working this weekend so my try to get out and do some exploring, should have a bit more in the next blog, may even get to a Waffle House and get some photos.
Not sure what the weather is like back in the UK at the moment but just to cheer everyone up It’s the low 60s here and bright blue skies, ta tar for now.

The photo above on the left is looking out of our cabin we are next to a small airport, if you look closely you can just see a plane about to take off. The one above on on the right is in the office, the one to the left is a looking out from the balcony of Fred’s apartment out on to the shopping Mall
