You should be good. My son had them in his pocket when he jumped in the pool. This is the same one that washed his phone under running water because the screen was all dirty.

took the patrol up to the grampians yesterday. nice to get out into the bush, no one around which was a bit surprising.
found a nice little up hill to give low range a wake up, nothing high country style, just a nice little warm up.
Yeah I know, all you guys have my sympathy. I can't imagine what it must be like down there to be honest. We have 2 kids locked up in Melbourne, they're going through all sorts of shit.
I did actually think of others as I was driving around and thought, we haven't been up here for 2 years and it really hasn't changed. So if worst comes to worst and stuff takes 2 years, at least natural beauty doesn't change much in that time, so it'll all be here when everyone can finally get here.
We actually had a bit of 'free from lockdown guilt' as we travelled around.
Looks like my FIFO days are over for now, Covid 19 and QLD travel restrictions have killed off any possibility of returning to site in the immediate future. happy to stay in Melbourne now, and the funny thing is 'as one door closes another opens' - well I have been headhunted for a role with BHP so maybe this will turn out for the better. At least I will be home on weekends and free to get out when we are all released.
That sounds exciting Phil, maybe a change is as good as a holiday as well????
What is you do again???
Looks like they have different restrictions for different industries, son in law has been flying in and out on a semi regular basis. Just back from 21 days in QLD, he only has to lockdown for 14 days but is allowed to work 12 hour night shifts with his co worker also from Vic during that time. He’s working on a critical government contract and they don’t have any qualified Qldlanders that can do his job.
Jack, its a bit more complicated in my situation. The company I contract to is anal anal anal risk adverse cotton-wool nanny state limp wristed dick slappers, and they have delegated the gate keeper on site for determination of site access to a height challenged little nazi, who is taking great delight in screwing as many people over as possible so he is seen in a position of authority. I have the documentation from the VP of the company stating i am an essential worker, however the midget is over-riding that by saying you can't come because there are other PM's in QLD that can do your job. This is not an accurate assessment by a long shot, however the management on site don't have the balls to challenge him - unbelievable. Further to that, they have had a shake up of their site leader-less team this week and all those recently elevated well beyond their next level of incompetence are in tailspins about such things as changing their email signatures and whether they will get a better seat allocation on the shuttle plane. My new 'el incompetento' has a 3 month transition plan into the role, however the guy he has replace has vacated the role instantly, so no decisions.
Getting across the border is not the hard bit, its getting from the quarantine hub to site that is the issue. Its funny timing all this as i was given the heads up yesterday lunchtime that my contract was unlikley to be extended, yet right now i am reading a contract renewal document for the role, and I have the BHP position as well. going to be interesting over the next 24 hrs i think!
Cheers Phil, ah yes company politics. Decisions, decisions, all the best with the new role. I'm sure you'll make the right decision.
