DAY 4

Had to spend eight hours on the most boring course ever - The North Slope Unescorted Orientation – all about HAZWOPPERS and HAZ COM. Fucking acronym central, so boring that for the entire first hour I was convinced the clock was going backwards! Not only was it mind-numbingly dumbed down (like everything else in the US) but they kept quizzing us with paper tests too, so you couldn’t just fall asleep. (Although I did get 100% on the big test.)
