I finally did it

[lippy 918]

I've written a few times on here bitching about my job, or where it has taken me anyways. I really like my job but hate living in Venezuela.

I just wrote an email to my boss requesting a transfer to a new operation we're starting up in Mexico. He's in the process of a promotion but for the next two months he's recruiting people and eqiupment for the new Mexico ops so I figured this was the time to make my intentions known.

It's just an email, but I feel a huge load off my chest to let the boss-man know that I'm really hating it there and after more then two years I'm hoping to move somewhere where "I can walk outside after sunset without fear of getting robbed, and work with management that has a little more foresight with respect to maintenance as opposed to operating on a philosophy of running their tools, equipment and people into the ground before reacting."

I don't know if using such strong words was a good idea, but fuck it! In the past two years I've saved up enough to tide me over until I find a new job, and I'm tired of all the shit that flies in that fucked up country.

I got nuthin

You need to fly on down to Angel Falls and make some leaps...

Angel Falls and Skdive Venezuela were definitely on my mind when I moved there, but with so much work and the National Guard making travel such a hassle it didn't really happen. I think I've got 13 jumps at SKV in the past 2 years.

Roger,



I fully agree with you. It is a subject that we had discussed in BA in the past and we were waiting for the contract in Mexico to happen.

We could always live on a DZ somewhere for a bit, and then look for another job later!!
