Back to back

I suppose up to this point I have more regularly been the second or third man on a job and now I am a little more experienced I have started to do more day shifts and been more responsible for just doing the job before and getting things right. trying to make sure the data I was sending in every morning was to a high enough standard and if it wasn't giving myself a good swift kick in the bollocks if it wasn't(quite a trick and if you haven’t tried it....don't, you'll only do yourself an injury). I think that the more I did it the less I ever thought I would get to the point where I would be supervising another MWD hand. Well now it is happening it appears to be less plus points on day shift than I thought there might. Well I suppose that the day shift is much better for your sleep pattern although getting up at 4:30am doesn’t seem to be agreeing with me as much as I thought it would. I seem to find my sleep occasionally disturbed by, well I don't quite know how to put it, by the other guy. The less experienced version of myself, the guy that is doing the job that I have been doing for the last 18 months. It is a bit weird to think that he is relying on me the way I relied on the day guy. I must admit though that I don't remember being quite as bad as this guy. I mean I did know when the tool was pulsing and when it wasn't and I could track depth pretty well. But that aside, I suppose its back to where I left off with Reeves. Being that first guy is always a bit different and there is a mindset that you need to get into to do it. The mindset is "trust no-one" always check everything that has been handled by anyone else and make sure you cover your arse with the biggest piece of steel that you can find an then galvanise the steel.
