Failure to run a course once you’ve paid the bastards $1300 already is a pain in the arse, so I’m home early and it might be a good thing thing.

We have been given 50 odd sites by the company doing the Vodafone 3G rollout and that means that I need to assemble 6 guys and 4 vehicles, about $60k worth of tools and eq and get them trained up and ready to roll out on the road for about 6 months, which is a pain in the arse considering I’m getting married in 3 months and will be away for 3 weeks.

Seeing that I’ve been given a leadership role in this project, I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to run my crews. I don’t think that having these guys up and onsite at 7:30 in the morning is too much to ask for, we are onsite around then when we do power work for christs sake! The earlier we get there the earlier we get done and the sooner we can move on to the next site, which means the sooner we get home!

I was given a car to go away in, VY Commodore Ute, nice ute, travels nicer than just about any other vehicle they have in the fleet, so i loaded up all my tools and the fridge and off I went, I was going away for 2 weeks. I get home to have someone tell me that someone else is going away in it on Monday (tommorow now) and that I needed to get my crap out of it. No problem, I don’t mind so much that I need to get out of it for someone, the part that shits me is that I am increasingly needing a vehicle to cart my shit around in and no one wants to bite the bullet and get me one of my own, do they think I’m leaving them or something? I’m in this one for the long haul, I enjoy what I’m doing way too much to throw the towel in on this one.

Anyway, I’ll keep you all posted about whats going on, hopefully I’ll be getting a NextG modem for the laptop they gave me and I’ll be able to keep you all updated while I’m away, will take some photos of me dangling 100M in the air as well!
