The Cowboy in Me

I had the chance to have a conversation with production technicians, radio operators, and the big boss offshore. Something bothered me when almost the same issue came up - manning and local management. I’m not much of an HR guy but I know if people are troubled because of the management. The biggest sign is when even the experienced folks are leaving - they don’t care about the benefits no more. Fewer people on board means more downtime thus more stress on everybody. I’m sure they have a strategy in place to handle the situation.

The medic while coming out of the dispensary (which didn’t look like it had enough supplies) asked, “Did you have an accident when you were little?” I was a bit puzzled for a moment until I realized the point of the question. Apparently, he noticed the cripple in me: I’m bow-legged.
