hello civilization

Post by axbaby »

hope your all well.

things are awesome here and i am having the time of my life.

i haven't found any diamonds in Namibia yet but my permit the enter the diamond coast arrives soon then i will be kindly escorted by a nice gentlemen with an ak-47 looking for me to pocket some diamonds.

the funny part is i'm looking for uranium there not diamonds but the way it works here is you need a permit to look for a specfic mineral and the zinc happens to be close to a rich placer diamond deposit

sounds like fun

i have a cool LandRover Backi " Backi means truck .. if you say truck they think you drive an 18 wheeler to Macdonalds ... which these Namibian motherfuckers don't have.....only KFC ..the Colonel must have invaded the land with his army .

having so much fun i can't even call it work.


HEY i know this guy ..he's the dude that used to freeze his nuts off in the Artic Circle and now he bitches when it's 30 in the desert at night :)

later all

haha, that's awesome ax!

Glad you're having a good time. So what kind of fun are you having exactly - what's there to do in Namibia besides looking for Angelina Jolie trying to fit in with the natives and going topless? :p

The mine should be named after Q3W. Or, at least, "Axbaby's Mineral Depository"

Glad things are going well. :icon14:

thanks guys .. the moral of the story ..

start shovelling shit when your 18 .. shovel shit better then anyone else .. someone will notice and give you more responsibilty .. eventually you will have his job .. do it better
then he ever did.
eventually the company can't live without you but won't pay what you deserve but keep managing your guys shovelling excellent shit.

a rival company can't seem to find someone like you so they snatch you up.

consider me snatched after 22 fucking years
of shovelling shit.

now if i had a university degree i could have
made it in 11 years ..that's another life lesson i regret ..so instead i train geophysicists instead of being one.


it's so nice to have Q3W around .. it's always been fun :)

off to the desert on thursday so if you want me i'll be at the Kalahari resort and casino .. i didn't lik the Windheok country club .. i can't stomach wild game .. i had ostrich yesterday
and it's wasn't anything special.
i didn't know thy had ostrich till i got here and now i see them everywhere.

off to a game farm to see the lion feedings and some hippos and other cool thing.

a baboon stole my running shoes the bastards .. i learned quickly that you lock all doors because the animals especially the human animals are theives.

saw some people with aids yesterday and i felt sick not giving them money when they begged for it .. litterally 20 people found me after i gave a lady $20 .
it's kind of sad that to me $20 Namibian is less then 5 minutes work and i had to stop giving.
of course later at night the same people would no sooner shoot me for the money then blink an eye.

they don't value human life much here as an example one of our workers got drunk and killed 2 of our other guys in a truck roll over "they took the truck with permission but never came back after the hour promised"
and he is suing us for wrongful dismissal
no remorse whatsoev

life's different here but and an eye opener.

thanks god i took chance and now my life has changed forever.


god this post is way too long
