According to physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction ... even in Angola.

Seems our housing compound has a water main leak somewhere.  So, to minimize losses they shut down all the water between midnight and 4am.  Of course, that means when I wake up at 330am ... I cannot go to the bathroom, cannot shower, cannnot shave, yadi yadi yadi ... even though the kilo is coming approx 415-430am to take me to work.

Alas, the equal & opposite .... seems my A/C at work is not functioning properly .... there is water streaming continually from the ceiling ... guess if I really want to take a shower each day ... I can just do it in the office (I wonder how the company feels about nudity ?)

Speaking of company/work, I am thoroughly disgusted with some of my co-workers ... while I recognize that my replacement isn't coming for 6-10 weeks and that is worrisome (who is going to do Bill's work in the meantime?).  It thoroughly disgusts me that people are walking around talking about my work and who is going to do it ... without including me in the conversation RE about "what it is" I actually do.  Makes me feel like a piece of meat being carved up - - however, today is essentially my last work day ... tomorrow (Friday) I do a walkaround and say "good-bye" and attend one last staff meeting.  I'll do my best to not "blow up" at people.

RE the Indonesian house hunting, I think we are very close on closing on the DaVinci house.  Last I heard there were only 2 small open items that haven't been agreed to, which should be do-able. I'll keep you posted.

.... I'm emotionally ready to go ...
