I was sent to commission dialysis machines in Al Ain,simple job 3 days max,van picks me up for a 3 hour drive across the desert with no AC,accomodation provided in cleaners block with no lock on my door,1st job for tools wrapping a wire coat hanger around door handles,on arrival in new unit no water treatment plant and decorators haven't even started.
I move myself to The Hilton and 3 days in my credit card is maxed out,end up staying 10 days as nurse doesn't show up to do the training so I ended up doing that myself too.
Oh those were the days,don't think I'd be as adventurous now though!
