I've been here for over two weeks and I'm finally getting used to my job, how things work around here and figuring out who is who and who does what. I don't think I'll ever get used to the long hours though. It's just inhumane. The only time we get off is Friday mornings and two extra hours on Sunday morning.

The people are nice though and I've finally moved into my permanent room. My room mates are nice. I'm on the top bunk but only until late August. Then one of them goes home & we'll re-arrange ourselves so I'll get a bottom bunk. I've got the quilt I made on my bed and it's much nicer than sleeping under a sleeping bag. It makes my little area feel like home.
I celebrated my 30th birthday a few days ago. I woke up early, went in to the office & opened the presents from my family.

That evening we had cake. A friend's translator had brought it in from downtown & it was quite good. It wasn't as sweet as the cakes we're used to in the US and it had a slightly herbal taste to it. It was interesting, unexpected but not bad. Overall it was an awesome birthday.
