After my contract in Algeria ended I had 2 months of vacation for personal reasons but also for recharging the batteries. Today was my first day at the office back home and it was not a very enjoyable day. People thinks that if you go on contract you had your time, you made a lot of money and when you come back you should be happy that they still allow you to work for your home company. And you feel a lot of frustration because your kids lost the pace with the school and friends, your wife lost her job and is having hard times to get a new one in these difficult times.
I don’t want to complain, I knew from the very begining that this will happen, in the brochure I got they were explaining all the issues you will face when you will return back home, but I said this will not happen to me. Sometimes the energy, time and passion you put on something cannot be replaced by any money or advantages you get.
