Hello beautiful people, As some of you may know by now, i work in a remote site in the western side of Uganda, very beautiful place i must say.Click here to see a previous post i did on it.
I live in a camp and its sometimes the most tiring and excrushiating job ever. I work from Monday to Sunday...(no kidding) for four weeks and go back home to the city (Kampala) for 1-2 weeks. This may seem like an amazing rotation as i get to do just me for 1-2 weeks after every 4 weeks...BUT there are some restrictions during my time in camp :((
1)There is a no alcohol policy. 2)You work and live in the same area . 3) When its gets to a Friday, am never really excited, work is pretty much the same throughout the weekend...4) My weekends are the hardest as i envision my friends parting the night away and lounging through the weekend...i think that would have been a little bit bearable if only i had alcohol to see me through...*wipes tear*
Everyday i look forward to the time i will head back to Room 23, my 10-10square meter room. My little niche were i withdraw away from everyone and try to be me.
See the camp is full of about 150-200 men from all over the world,and 4-10 women,depending on the work at the time.
In this "man's" world, Room 23 is where i get to be me...a woman! This is where i do all things beautiful.... making up...playing dress up..acting up..taking pictures...dancing alone with my "party rock" music blazing in my ears... (yeah,yeah, yeah....don't judge me!)
