2005-08-05 cVP Today we have a new worker, so we have a total of 16. [Input: P802CVP.j]
2005-08-14 cvp Today we have a new workman, so we have now 16 plus Ferhan. We put the new one in the team of the column. Also, due to the complaints of Ahmed, the pick-man there, alleging that the soil was very hard and difficult to pick, I designate Saud to pick also there. [Input: P810CVP.j]
2005-08-17 cvp Habib fell from the step in k24 to the step in k23 and, even if the difference in highness was short, maybe half a meter, he fell in a bad position and hurt its arm. After bringing him to the doctor it seems that it is a fracture. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-20 cvp Jumah has hurt one of his fingers, nothing of importance. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-23 cvp Jumah has a small hurt in one finger and a small cut in one leg. With them they are 3. I gave him permission to go home as it was already fifteen to one, even if it was really nothing. We have a new workman, Suleiman, a shovel to work full time in the Elevatore. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-24 cvp First time in the morning Jumah has gone to Kamiran for his scratch to be cured again. Then he has resumed his place as one of the two workmen taking care of the Elevatore. The other one, Suleiman, put there by fAB yesterday, has not come, so we had a new one for the same job, Salah. Later, Iko has decided that two workmen taking care of the Elevatore was too much (right) and has take Salah away. No accidents today, even if Samih was showing me a cut in the thumb, but just to inform me that he was working too much, not to go to Kamiran's infermary. At midmorning Muhammed Omo takes one of our workmen, Riad, to put him to work with the geophisician. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-25 cvp Somewhere after breakfast I am aware that Magid is nowhere to be seen for a while. Asking Samih his whereabouts he answered me that he has gone home because he was feeling sick. It seems he didn't consider the possibility to let me know about it. Asking Samih if at least he has asked permission to fAB or gB, he said yes. Ferhad added with mimics something about drinking cold water and throat aching. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-28 mS fAB took two pickmen, Sa'ud and Mas'ud to work in J2. We now have three pickmen with three teams. It's unfortunate to lose these two excellent pickment but our excavation area is decreasing and we really did not have room for all the pickmen. [Input: P828MS1.j]
2005-09-04 mS since our work area is shrinking we moved some of our workmen to other areas. Juma moved to J3, and Majid, Samich, and Kowa moved to J2. Rashad did not come to work today. [Input: P904MS.j]
