Duty

Being called on emergency idle duty sounds like the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, but alas, I’ve been on such call for 3 days now. It is the final stage of the production cycle, where we, the engineers run around with nerves shot and bad temper.

We await for the factory’s dreaded call for a final checking before the machines starts burning metals. The rest of the time we just sit there idly. Thinking. Having too much time to think. And hating having too much time to think.

I am going to Vienna tomorrow. Somehow the fear of the unknown never struck me. I mean; shit. I have no plan what so ever. Whatever comes will come.
