I Just Want It All To Be Over

I guess it's about time to post something. 

To tell you the truth I haven't really had that much to feel inspired about.  I am in the final three weeks of my 6 month rotation.  My every waking thought these last few days has been of finishing here and going home.  One thought above all has been forefront amongst the multitude of images from home.  Arriving home on that Saturday night, to the happy faces of my family, and knowing that on the following Sunday I do not have to fly away again.  That one thought, that dream, is what I am focusing on to sustain me during the upcoming weeks.

Work here continues and I have been given a task that I would rather not I not have to concentrate on.  Concentration on that task, makes it hard for me to think about going home.  Makes it feel like working on that task, is postponing me from going home.  It's frustrating too because that is exactly what the customer has asked our team to do on a number of occasions and most recently of me.  They were once again told that our team will not nor ever work past a scheduled fly home date.

During a status meeting held recently, it was decided seemingly at the spur of that moment to replace one of the larger systems in a remote community, solely for appearances sake.  The time line I was provided was to be on site by next Friday.  I have come into some information regarding the readiness of the certain aspects of this particular deployment not being provisioned and that those responsible for that provisioning are away for the next week, putting the task I have been given, at least in my estimation, in jeopardy.  This information, from what I have been told, is in the hands of those that are doing the planning and scheduling of this project.  I was given my task on Tuesday and I am ready.  To this point, the group responsible for the provisioning of the as yet un-provisioned hardware, has not been consulted as to their readiness.

I know this information because I believe I have to know and I know who to ask.  I'm not sure if the customer is aware I know this information or if they are even aware of it themselves.  According to who I was talking to they should know, the document that he was referencing was a document he provided to them on the same date I was given my task.

Until then:

Then my dream will be realized.  My sanity may be compromised and I may have de-evolved into a less socialized being but I will have survived.  Wiser.  Never again to agree to work a rotation longer than 3 months.
