Man, I was away for work since 18 August, and it has been 6+ weeks for me! Worse is not these 6 weeks because contractually, it is supposed to be 6 weeks with 4 weeks of break following. However, there is a special job lined up for me in mid October, meaning I am going to get 1.5 weeks of break only in the best case, not good... I hate to whine, but they're really pushing me! Damn...

• After I completed leading a job in Dubai, I went offshore in Qatar, working solo as the single MWD engineer onboard, cramming 30+ hours straight...
• I was told that I would get off home early to rest, because of the important job lined up for me in mid October, but diverted to another rig to save a nast situation there, setting me back by 1/2 week...
• That job got prolonged by 1/2 week, and add the helicopter scheduling problem, got back to town and unable to leave as there is no exit stamp
• Might as well work if I can't leave, sent to a land rig but diverted back again to an offshore rig to save yet another situation (no one else have offshore safety certification, and guess what? I am again the single MWD engineer onboard!!!) And so here I am now - still fucking waiting to get home!
