Another cold morning but no sign of any fresh snow. Could be tricky on the ice.
On the short walk into the office my up legs got very cold. Never known that before. In the UK I can wear shorts almost all year. Might have to reasses the clothing for the walk into the office once I've moved.
Today I spent the day creating a new work instruction for installing a standalone database. Took longer than expected and I only just managed to get it done before the course attendees left. Had to get it done though as part of my remit as rollout coordinator. Can't have people attending a course without some way of playing with the data. They get the course but they might not see the PMS for a long time.
Didn't get anything else done. Tomorrow will be worse as myself and Morteza are on a course for AMOS. I suppose it'll help in the long run. I might be able to create more help files for the offshore users at least.
Found out today we're going to be losing Baard once Morteza is installed and the ticket level has dropped a bit.
We had an unannounced fire drill today. Been here since mid Sept and this is the first. Bit of a change from the vessels where we get a drill at least once a week.
Some people wind me up by trying to lead me through their thinking to arrive at the idea they'd had by asking me questions. Gods that is so bloody annoying. How can I answer questions when I don't know what the route or the destination is going to be?? Tell me the idea and then I'll get more into the thinking behind it.
Realised today that I might have to buy another flight for Norway after sorting out the moving of my stuff. The original plan was to come back on the 26th, but the team relocation people in UK have indicated that they'll be trying to pack my stuff that day. Oh well.
Managed to remember the builders final payment for FFA. Couldn't work out how to setup a direct debit for the rent at the new apartment though.
In Norway they don't seem to use name, account number and sort code but just the bank account number. Have to make sure the number is correct or else the money could go to the wrong person.
Trying a baked potato for supper tonight.
