I got off! They put me on a chopper this morning, but at first they said I had to go to the dreaded Tanker to catch it. I was all set to go through the comic runaround to get a boat over there, when the guy in charge of transport & accommodation, who I've seen a lot of on this trip, told me they'd made "some changes" and I could catch my flight direct from the platform. That, to me, proves the value of never losing your temper with people who might one day be able to help you. Which is everybody.
Perhaps I should back track a bit - yes I did get off the tanker, and spent the last two days of the trip comfortably homed on BLQ. Mind you, they put me in a different room each night - nothing's simple in Benchamas. But I did get some work done, and the system, as I'd hoped, is fixed. I also got to use the gym, to burn off the three days' worth of laziness I'd been through.
Back to the office tomorrow, ho hum. Soon this will all seem like a dream...
