The things I had to deal with while being away
from home. This is one of the topics in my Book. I arrived in Baghdad at my new
camp. My new boss a signed me to F-2 which they called it Headquarters. I was a
little bit scared now I'm around high ranking officers and High branch people
from the company I worked for. I was up for the challenge; each camp did their
work different from one another, so I had to learn their way. Beside I wasn’t
going to be there any longer, they were short of people and they needed some
help.
One evening HR came to my room and told me that I was needed in their office. She walked me to the office and the minute I set down she looked at my tummy, I know right then the reason why I was there. I became very upset, I've been in Iraq for almost 2 1/2 years and now here this people my co-workers are asking me I'm I pregnant. I'm scared out of my mind tears rolling down my face of not believing what I'm going through. I told them that I was not pregnant. So I volunteered to have a test done.
When it came back negative I really wanted to give these people a Peace of my mind and how I felt as a women being violated. I asked them who the person that reported me was. They told me that it was confidential. They didn't even apologize about the situation. They handed me a card with their names on them and sent me back to my room.
I cried the whole time I walked from there office to my room. That night I couldn't even sleep, leaving TQ B-6 and coming to Baghdad really had me thinking about going home. It was so political here at Baghdad, it's every person for themselves it didn't feel like the Iraq’s against us, it felt like the people on the camp was at war with each other. I'm trying to fit in just so I can make a living for my family. After all this, I was to hurt to go on any longer. I thought about my family so I held my head up and kept it moving like it never happened.
