Working in this line, doing what i do means having to do a variety of weird, if not stressful things. As how Shahrukh Khan says it "occupational hazards" ( i swear to u there was this one time i heard his interview on the telly and i was so blown away when i heard him say that. And then on the same show i heard Anil Kapoor say " terrantial rain" and again i became so amazed! Maybe im underestimating Bollywood actors?) anyway.. Back to my main point .. So yeah heres a list of things i was able to jot down while waiting for my 1 hour BER test to complete. In no particular order:
1. having to use questionable toilets ( because sometimes the nearest gas station is miles away so u have to make use of the substations toilet which normally would have gone through a hit and miss session by a gajillion of men)
2. being the only person with a uterus in the vicinity 90% of the time ( there ARE times that i wished i had a penis instead, and not because it makes work better, but just makes certain things a little easier. But fear not being the only girl around does have its perks *wink wink*)
3. having to work outstation nearly every single week or on average about 7 days a month away from home. Which means an unpacked bag sometimes needs to be repacked again which will result in me just leaving whatever's in the bag and just throwing in additional stuff.
4. working odd hours. After office hours to midnight and once in a while in the wee hours of the morning. Although its still not as bad as one of my girlfriends who works weekends, and late nights every other day.
5. Driving alone for long hours to remote sites. It gets really boring and sleepy so most of the time i have to entertain myself by doing silly stuff in the car. Singing at the top of my lungs, do a little jig, making fun of stupid adverts on the radio, laughing to my own silly jokes..etc
I know! So sad kan? :-)
