We arrived late Sat night which allowed us to hit the ground a day ahead of schedule (Sunday). We went on a windshield tour of the post and I invited myself onto a few operations for impromtu site visits with the operators. Sometimes that's the best kind of info to get...when folks are in the field and off guard. In any case, we made ourselves comfortable walking around and into the concrete batch plant run by a Turkish company. About 30 minutes later we were sitting in the company's DFAC VIP room eating a 4 course authentic Turkish meal off of real china. So far my impression of Turkish people is that they are very generous, friendly, take pride in their culture, and like to have fun. I think I should try to see about getting out to Turkey one day.
Back to business. The folks here have been quite supportive and today's In-Brief went well and we had a packed conference room with standing room only. We already have our day booked tomorrow with meetings so it appears folks are receptive to our mission here.
We have great accommodations in some nice trailers with real beds and furniture...no connectivity, though. The trailers were supposed to be for KBR, but somehow they didn't end up occupying them. We're so out in the middle of nowhere that the satellite is even intermittent. Geesh.
Anyway, today went fairly well, but this evening after dinner I realized I didn't have my jacket with me. I re-traced my steps, but did not have any luck. Guess what was in the jacket? My room keys. ARGH. I've been trying to figure out how to get into my room for about 2 hours. I hope I figure it out soon. I am sooo tired.
Take care. e
