Well end of this thread. I got moved to the company quarantine village in the middle of bum f**k nowhere.
Spent the first 24 hrs segregated for no logical reason other than ‘its policy’ even though I’ve been isolated for 11 days the the crew here has only done 4 days.
But cleared to roam the camp now, so can access the canteen, laundry and the tavern (for takeaways only between 5-6pm max of a six pack)
Have health screening each morning at 8 am and morning meeting at 9. We have strict social distancing procedures but it’s been nice to catch up and chat with some work mates.
There’s a road within the compound that we can use to walk laps on, but I’m struggling with motivation atm.
No wifi and reception is shocking, so very limited net access.
3 more days and offshore for two weeks. But thankfully for the company policy of this quarantine period and health screening prior to going offshore we have been given government exemptions to isolation on return home and travel papers to get through international and State border controls.
We are in pretty stringent lockdown conditions in NSW now anyway so the main difference is at least I’ll still be able to have my kids with me.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
