Re: What are you doing today ??
Yesterday was my official end date. Lots of mixed emotions. Offshore has been a big part of my life and identity for over a decade. A bunch of workmates I lived and worked with for all that time are now good mates and will be missed. By nature of the job most are scattered 4 corners of Aussie. The r...

Re: Work
Correct. "We don't want to open all your cans of worms and to leave you with a mess at the end of your 6th session".... that is all they said. They aren't allowed to offer more than 6 sessions apparently but they did kindly remind me that I can still use the service any time I need it - b...

Re: Mr Postman
Spark plug caps for the Thruxton!
Pretty impressed with that! Ordered last Wednesday evening, in my PO Box lunchtime Tuesday. That’s faster postage than I’ve had within my own state, let alone other side of the world!

Galant effort mate!
Real shame about the food situation, and like you say, totally avoidable if you’d been given the right information.

Re: Always always keep your seat belt on
I don’t get it either. With all the air travel I’ve done my seat belt is always on and I’ve been rather glad a few times. After the 4 point harness we have to wear on the helicopter flight, the lap sash is barely noticeable.

Re: What ails you today?
Side effects of over excursion. I've been light headed, had difficulty focusing, hot and cold sweats, including feeling so cold I was shaking and my teeth were chattering. I'm going to blame a combination of tiredness, dehydration, and blood sugars being all over the place. I'm finally now starting...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Not today but on the weekend.. With all the stress life is throwing my way I thought a couple hour blast on the Thruxton was in order. It’s been about 4 months since I took it out. Seemed really slow to start, heaps of battery and cranked fine but didn’t want to fire. Finally got it going and heade...

Re: Work
Life changing. Well worth the pain of the last few swings. (nod) ^ Precisely this ^ The pain of the last two years since the Sydney Water debacle. I only decided to stay on because of the impending redundancy. But it was like the proverbial carrot on a stick and constantly moving!!! But regardless,...

Re: Work
Thanks guys Yeah totally great news. I’m under “redeployment opportunities consideration” till the end of the month/pay period (which was the rest of my normal break anyway) but it’s just a protocol. It’s already known I won’t redeploy anywhere due, and there are no Santos jobs for me here. So redun...

Re: Work
So this news came out yesterday https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103852218 I got a call later in the day. 10 positions affected offshore, out of around 500 staff on roster. I got a golden ticket. My offshore days are done. Seems my OIM kept his word and secured me a handshake. Still a little in shock.

Re: Work
Everyone makes mistakes, that’s how we learn a lot of the time. You can get a level of leeway with that to a point.
But being deceitful is a terrible trait, and I’d have zero tolerance to it. In the industries I’ve worked in, dishonesty in your job kills people.
