hi all,
i've finally noved out of my temporary accomodation with the crazy 50+ yr old german dude and into a more normal flat witha 23yr old dairy farmer and his farm dog 'jet'. For the first time in 2 months i have a phone AND a microwave (hence this blog) -wow, dinner no longer takes 2 hours to heat in the oven (i'm not kidding, go try it if u dont beleive me)
anyway, works good, into my 2nd month there so poeple are giving me actual serious work, not just inductions etc - i have soooo much stuff thats my problem when it doesnt work! - i see now why they pay well.... Already i have 4 distillation towers, 16 furnaces, 10 catalytic reactors, infinite pumps and heat exchangers and a few large compressors in my 'command' (what i'm actaully allowed to do is at the discretion of the ops guys). Alas, no steam turbines in my units, even tho there's 4 waste heat boilers. And soon i get the whole effluent water treatment unit too...oh crap, my brain hurts! Its like a design assignment from hell coz all my projects actually have to work! The refinery is so f*%&kn massive, i can actually get lost amonst 26" pipes labelled 'hydrogen ex K7501" and stuff like that. Kinda scary when u know that there's 160 bar inside that line, and hydrogen aint friendly!
Anyway, soon, or already, most of us will be in this situation so these gripes will seem pretty lame.
Catch u all at graduation - looking foward to hearing some of your stories!. And claire, does the name Fadi Akkawi ring a bell? hehe......

How could you need a microwave to cook dinner. It takes 15 minutes on the stove top.... Maybe you should limit your flashness of your meals
umm, it sez to heat dinner- i.e. from frozen. trust me - it does actually take 2 hours
