what a day...

PS: A few remarks made.... might be offensive to some people...

I totally lost my cool today. Nope, it was still good that I didn't shout at anyone. But I knew I totally lost it. I was shivering with so much anger...

S.O.B sup made me go on a wild goose chase 3 times this morning. Two of which wasn't part of my job at all. The 3rd one was the ultimate. The day before, the barge engineer and I have gone through a list of equipment that we need for the next operations 'cos we were unloading equipment off the ship. Rig manager was there and he saw those stuff as well...It was okay-ed.

Then S.O.B sup decided to go for a walk around the rig this morning and he started checking the equipment that we need for the next operations as well. Normally, a float collar is made up to a joint. HOwever, this time, it isn't. It's just a 0.5 m long float collar. He opened the box and cannot f**king hell tell the difference whether it was a float collar and a drop-down plug. Then he totally went bersek. He called me on the phone, started questioning me about it and totally DOUBTED the fact that I have checked the equipment can? He came up to office, demanded the manifest from me and I showed him that there were really 2 float collars manifested and I have checked it. Then he told me to go look into the wooden box and open my eyes big.

B**TARD. I went to look and the float collars are lying down there!!!! I told him that he could come and look at it for himself again. While I was doing that, he called the logistic guy in town to check if they were delivered at all. Even the logistics guy can tell him that the 2 float collars are there and were not made up to a joint at all.

F*king hell. My respect for him was down to nil since the whole incident. This is not the first time he panicked and went around like a headless chicken already loh.....

I swear I will never EVER be like this when I get up to the position of a drilling supervisor. People who aren't trained in drilling from the start of their career, should never be allow into this rank at all. They think they know the world but actually, they don't at all. All they know very well was a small part of their portfolio that they have worked before.... This is very very true....It's because drilling engineering is all about experience. One can totally see the difference between someone who started out drilling and someone who didn't. My drilling manager, my SW boss and the other 2 drilling sups that I know all have drilling backgrounds and they are very zai people....

but looking at my 2 sups onboard now... things can just go haywire anytime man...
