Seems SS7 priorities have shifted, but so have mine as a result.
In the better older days I did not mind doing a few hours into the other shift, if the Sub was on downtime. These days are well and truly gone.
Nowadays I don,t put in any extra effort on that kind of situation. First things first. Did we do our daily Stop/Start Cards, let,s proceed with TRAs, tool box talks, the work permits all in order?
Does not mean we did not do the job unsafe in the earlier days.
Then I read: :Subsea 7 second quarter earnings for 2009 outperformed even the most optimistic projections.
Makes me think: They did not want to share that with me. Just took away my 15 Pounds West Africa Bonus, because the conditions have improved.
Yes, I can see that. Most of these rigs would not be allowed to work anywhere else. Not really worth going out here any longer and damaging my body with the malerone.
Have to go. The Sub is down again……………………… rather have a tea first, a chat with the camp boss and try to call my wife. Then I want to find out whether I am in Norway or in the Congo. So hard to distinguish with these improved conditions.
Time for me to retire.
