Good grief, what one Earth have you been up to? I’ve had a very normal and boring day at work! I love you ‘Thief’ post. How are you feeling about life in general now?

Thanks for the comment on “The Thief”. Every 4 years offshore workers undergo a refresher course of putting out fires, walking (or stumbling) around a smoke filled room, practicing CPR and getting out of a submrged upside down helicopter. It’s one day versus 3 days if you go over 4 years. Very difficult to let it lapse and mentally very difficult to accept the days are over for me to be going offshore, but I had paid for it so was going to try it. After completing it, I would say that for an MSer, the extra hourly £ you may get is most definitely not worth it! The thief has taken my energy but has left me some gifts, a sore back and legs. Out of all the folk who said “never again”, my rendition was probably the most accurate as I know that in 4 years I will not go offshore again, wont go offshore now, but I paid for it. And pay for it I most deinately have done. Had to put myself through it to confirm to myself that any future work will be onshore and hand the mantle of offshore over to others. Whilst I enjoy the work I can now accept that it is no longer for me, yes I am fortunate to still be working, but changing career plans is a hard one to accept. I did it and the instructor said “ you have definitely got balls doing this with MS”. I’ll take that
