Sci Fi Story

Ahh, I haven't slept in 35 hours, and just felt like filling people in.

Ok, I started work the other day at noon (Saturday). I worked for 6 hours before it was brought to my attention that a coworker, scheduled to arrive for work on another rig, did not arrive. The morning plane couldn't land due to bad weather, so his 3 hour flight from Anchorage turned around to land again in Anchorage. He got on the evening plane, but it too was unable to land. I went over to the other rig to relieve the person working there (after he worked 12 hours).

Ok, so I stay up overnight, laydown the drilling assembly (a dry hole) and wait for a ride back to my rig. The flyer arrived around midnight, but I let him sleep as he would be working all Sunday. Ok, waiting to hop a ride back to my camp, when I discover that I'm being sent back to Anchorage as there were no beds available. It seems that one of the 3 work camps would be moving and so there were 45 less beds. I packed my gear with no sleep and the plane was late and here I am in Ancorage unable to sleep (so far). Thank God for Alaskan Amber.
