So im a crane technician, glorified diesel mechanic in Australia.

And i have flown arouns the country to get to a shitty little place called whyalla. Took me 4 flights to get here darwin to alice, alice to Melbourne, Melbourne to Adelaide. Missed my connection. Then the next day Adelaide to whyalla.

I have no idea whays the cause of the fault on the crane and currently no real idea on my next steps. But its 2000 and im in some shit restaurant at my accommodation and ive been here half an hour trying to get a feed so i can go to bed and do another 13 houra tomorrow. Because i want to go home Monday.

At least you got internet and an ungodly amount of saturated fats by the looks of it 😳

I wish you and the crane all the best.

It’s okay, the three cherry tomatoes on the side should make up for it.

The hell is your flight itinerary? Are there no direct flights from Darwin to Adelaide?

Fair call. Hope your flight back is more direct mate.

Aw man, sounds like you’re working yourself too hard. I think you should accept that the job can’t be completed by Monday, stretch it out and try to enjoy yourself. You might be in the arse end of nowhere, but other people manage to keep themselves entertained out there.

That being said, if you’re getting paid overtime rates (particularly weekend overtime) then crack on!
