You know there's nothing to erase the euphoria of an overseas trip than a visit to Moomba to work. I've been here for a week so far, and it looks like I still have a week to go, which is a difficult prospect to swallow at this point I have to say.
The tourism and marketing people call the Strzelecki desert (home to the conglomeration of leaky steel pipes that is Moomba) a "sensitive arid ecosystem". I guess thats because "vast bloody desert with nothing to look at except the 300 flies that buzz around your face all day" doesn't have the same ring to it. The fact that I have been to glorious places like Interlaken only make it worse, and make me feel sorry for the people I see driving around this god forsaken wasteland with caravans on thier holidays.
My boss told me I was coming here to supervise an
intelligent pigging (or In line inspection, ILI, if you want to use the cool acronym) program. He should have told me I was coming up here to do an exercise in debacle management. The worst thing about it is that some of the things that have gone wrong would make blogging gold, but might be career limiting for me if I publish them on the internet.
But enough complaining. I have started a new blog for that.
Waxing Cynical. I know I put this in my last post as a side project, but any of you who clicked the link got a 404 error. There was a good reason for this, that being I have been prevented from accessing blogger.com for the last few weeks to actually make an entry. Why? You're just going to have to go over there and find out.
