Same Old

I'm starting to feel a little more at home here. In the last two days, I've had pizza twice. The name was about the only thing in common with what I used to eat back home though. Fish and mushrooms, on a cream sauce... sounds like a meal you would get on the coast, however not somehting you would see on a pizza. I have finally been promoted, and am now thinking abotu where I want to go next. I can't get back into America until after the 29th of July, so thats out of the question. Where else can I go?

work, work, work

I am starting to get tired of all this work. In the last 10 days, I have been to 7 jobs. This is something, that in most locations would be a big deal, as you would make a bonus of about 1500 dollars. However, in Russia, things are a bit different. I made a total of 120 bucks for them in total. I can now safely say that I am not in this job for the money, but with that realization, I am begininning to wonder what a Chemical Engineer, with no petrogeophysical knowledge, coupled with a nonexistent vocabulary of Russian, is doing in Western Siberia. Just in case you wanted to know, I am in a city called Nizhnevartovsk at them moment. You can most likely find it on the map, its big enough.
