SO I had a lobster boil this weekend and a few friends made it over which was nice. I was hoping for more and I do understand it gets harder to get a group together as people get busier. For the ones that made it, I think it was a great time, and for the ones that couldn't well next summer for sure....
I visited my old stomping grounds....company...job and seen a few of my former employees. It was nice to catch up on things but so little has changed, I actually felt a little taken back on how the atmosphere was very stagnant and dreary. I guess I am use to and comfortable with a more outgoing fun place of work. Everyone seemed happy to see me and catch up on things, and I think everyone felt a bit of relief knowing I was working and that there were jobs out there as they start to man down at that site.
I was a bit frustrated with the people at work yet again yesterday. I have so many infrastructure challenges and no one gets it, and I mean NO ONE! I have about 60% of my major tagged equipment coming to site in the next 3 months, and I have no staff to receive it, I have no permanent laydown or any equipment. I don't even have a pick up truck for the warehouse. This project, this site, is a joke, unfortunately I am not laughing. I hate not being in control of my area of responsibility or my chance at success. My best analogy for this site(I may have said this before) is I am in the middle of a mine field, and chances of making it out alive is very slim,and chances of making it out unhurt is even slimmer.
That being said , I will as we used to say in the military "Soldier On" and try and be as successful as I can considering the challenges and road blocks ahead of me at this time.
I have applied to join the reserves and have requested my documents from Ottawa to verify my former service in the regular force and reserves. I think this will be a long painful process to get back into the reserves and I hope I have the patience to wait it out.
My trip for February is booked.I am off to the Caribbean fora week of diving and sunbathing. I will need to shed a few more pounds so I do not look like a whale on the beach. I don't want green peace coming along and trying to throw me back in the water!
The time in Regina seems to fly by now during the week. I think now that it is starting to get busier it makes for a better time. Coming home on every weekend is definitely good. I enjoy my time at home in my house, and spending time with friends.
