After work today, I will be accompanying my supervisor as he goes furniture shopping.
After our major head office reorganization, there were some of us that were previously on ‘rotational’ schedule, that were now ‘localized’. By rotational, I mean that we work on a 20/8 schedule, or working for 20 days straight including weekends, and then having an 8 day break. Plane fare to and from work is shouldered by the company. And now that some of us have already been ‘localized’, we no longer have that schedule, and are now on a normal office working schedule of 5 workdays, and have the weekends off. Being localized also means that plane fare going home to our home bases would now be personally shouldered. I have been lucky to instead be sent out to the field, in preparation for taking our new positions as Wellsite Managers, or what is known in the Oil and Gas Industry as the ‘Company Man.’ I will now be on a 14/7 schedule, which means I get to go home more frequently than before!
My supervisor has decided to relocate his family near our head office and transfer his son to one of the nearby schools. Just last week, he has made a deposit for a 2-bedroom condominium unit and is now selecting the furnishings. He told me he had his eye out for rustic furniture, and was hoping to have those to adorn his new pad. I hope to be able to get some dog-safe frisbees after accompanying him furniture shopping. Yay!
Only 1 more week to go until my base off. I cannot wait!
