Hi ho hi ho back to Kuwait I go

here at the end of the week I’m heading back to Kuwait. ITT seems to actually provide training for their employees so they can stay current and progress in their careers, what a concept. Well, anyway I’ll be taking a Cisco (networking) class for about a week. And speaking of training, I’ve been chatting with Heather (formerly of Kwaj) while she’s been taking an Exchange class in Kuwait (dam, they really believe in keeping their employees skills updated so they are useful). They are setteling in over in Kuwait and seem to think Tera and I should transfer over that way after our contract is up. Not quite as good of money, but still pretty darn good, and much nicer living conditions.
The kitty, or lack thereof may end up being the biggest factor in where we end up. Allegidly the biggest holdup on Heather and Tom getting their kitty back is a certain cat sitter deciding they really like being a cat sitter. 
Even if we could get Spooky over here, our room is a little small, and I doubt there’s a vet we could get to, if she got sick. Tera seems to think she’d do fine in the room, and we may be able to get her over here to Kabul, so who knows.
I’ve been messing with some VOIP stuff for personal enrichment and the hope of getting a phone setup sometime. We seem to be getting at least 10% packet loss all the time on this WiFi connection, which really sucks and makes VOIP doubtful. Hopefully I’ll get my WiFi gear in soon so I can tap into the better connection that the NOC geeks have setup at their house a block or so away. In the mean time I’m trying to figure out all this VOIP stuff, which is really cool and starting to get pretty popular.
