Work Chaos

I didn't really want to write about this but after my first week back I felt it was necessary.

The week before I came back to site, they had a fatality at site here. It was not someone I knew pesonally but I had seen him and talked to him here and there. This really affected me because it was a helicopter incident and I have been on the same helicopter in the past. Thinking about that scared me a little because you really don't know what can happen in life

Once I got here, I started on a big project of shipping waste off site on sea lift. We were working 16 hour days at a minimum for the first 8 days. Hence I was not at any of the classes via Zoom. After than many days you tend to get touchy and you feel angry, irritated and stressed. It was a week of not much happening aftyer work and even for the next 2 days after

If that was not enough, we now have a Covid outbreak on site. there have been 7 positive cases so far and 100 close contacts identified. What this means is all these people are or will be flown out as off today and the remaining ones of us will be tested daily for the next 5 days to confirm we are all good.

A lot of things happening but I am still happy because I am alive and healthy. And I have family and friends that I get to see when I am home or through Zoom when I am not.

See you all soon
