Sh*t Show in the Sandbox

Memoirs from my work life in Iraq: packed with dust, questionable decisions, and stories that should never reach HR. A brutally honest, darkly humorous collection of real-life moments from years spent working in one of the world’s most chaotic environments. This comic memoir captures the absurdity of daily life in Iraq, where logic often takes a day off, safety procedures are occasionally optional, and reality regularly outdoes fiction. Told through illustrated short stories, these memoirs cover everything from baffling workplace incidents to moments of genuine disbelief that can only be processed through humour. This comic is not a political statement, a tactical manual, or a guide to best practice. It is simply one man’s attempt to make sense of years spent navigating a world where nothing ever quite goes to plan, and where, just when you think the chaos has ended, there’s always one more story waiting.
