Yosef's Corner: Yoseph Hadden. Hadden, my nickname

two doors will open - the Big Bang

I started this blog in 2006. It has seen me through a lot. I have posted from different countries in East and West Africa that I have lived in. It chronicles a huge part of my life. And although I haven't been posting much over this past year, I haven't wanted to let it go. It means too much to me. I have decided that now, for various reasons, I am going to keep posting to this blog. And also be an open book on my years at work in: Tanzania, Uganda, and now Ghana. Clear as mud? Here it is simply:

Yoseph Hadden. Hadden, my nickname

In the year 2000 I was a freshman in Addis Abeba University; my room mate Haileyesus Genet called me after the mysterious and secretive billionaire industrialist S. R. Hadden, in the the movie Contact.

Contact is a 1997 American science fiction drama film. S.R. Hadden is the coolest character ever!

My Career, Why do I Blog? and Life lessons.

This is a blog of my professional experience in East Africa. Graduated from AAU in 2005 I have come to work in Gibe II hydroelectric project as Eng. Geologist in surface and underground. I was crazy to understand the forces that affect tunnels, Dams, penstocks, power houses, shafts, the single largest public works project of the time. Then as Geotechnical Engineer, I got to work with Gondwana Engineering Consult, a strong design office, especially in pavement and foundation. Last in Ethiopia I join as Materials Engineer; Keangnam Enterprise Ltd, a South Korean contractor in the rehabilitation of Jimma-Bonga-Mizan road project. Since 2011 I am with an European Contractor doing SUPERPAVE highway Material designs in Tanzania, Uganda and now Ghana.

Why do I Blog?

I see myself as someone who loves to share information, especially if I find that it can uplift and inspire someone else.

Others: Ego satisfaction, meeting real people and Blogger is cheap.

Life lessons:
