Another Long Night

So trying to get to sleep and stay asleep seems to be recurring theme of the week so far. Robbie left today and so was in for a shower at about 10am followed by the arrival of my new day shift compadre Garry at about 1. I gave up on the sleeping thing at about 14:00hrs read for about an hour and then had a shower. I dragged my carcus down to the TV room and sat in front of it for a while. Not really absorbing anything. I went outside to see if I could see Gary. I expended alot of waset energy floating around between the tv room and the boot room with no sign of my back to back. At about 5 I finally gave up and tannoyed him. He'd been up in the heli lounge for the last couple of hours. We ate and chatted and then it was time for the pre-tour meeting. At the start of the shift the senior guys on the rig tell us all that has been happening and all they expect to happen over the next 12 hours(a standard tour) After that its time to get to the unit for some sitting about. Surfing the net and reading. Not alot gets done.
