Today was a pretty good day. It started off with me overlooking a work crew out back that have been send over from the labor department to move drums around that are out back so we can inventory them. It is sad at first seeing these foreign nationals do this hard work in the sun, but they are making excellent money for what they are doing. It would be like if I was making 150k a year to them. They work here around 5 years and then go home, buy a house and retire with their family.
After that was done I asked Patrick to take me over to the Iraq Bazzar. It is a big tent set up in camp were Iraqis sell goods, well pretty much just dvd's. Copyright laws don't really mean anything here and I have never seen movies and such for so cheap. I bought seasons 1-7 of Scrubs for 20 bucks. Movies were like 2 bucks and you could get ones that aren't out yet. They also have a crap load of anime, stuff you cant find in the states. They had whole series of it. Tonight I am going to buy a nice tv and dvd player so I can take advantage of this. I could catch up on tv series I missed out on in the states. I bought the scrubs DVD, I want to buy the "samurai shampoo" one next, and they even have "Death Note" (for you geeks out there that know what I'm talking about. I am going to have to buy a lot to bring home, you can't get this stuff back home.
Finally before the day was done, we got to take the vacuum out to suck out some tanks. The vehical is awesome, it is a Benz and giant, I hope to have some pictures soon. It has a bed in the cab and everything. It was fun to ride in, the hmmvs look like Hondas. I took video that I will be sending home soon.
Today was a good day, I can't wait to get my TV and what not set up, it's going to be Awesome.
