So, Richard. Have you had the epiphany as to how to reconcile your differences with the world and move on?
Curious what you decided if you have.
I'm missing which "Richard"...
I'll comment for myself.
I've side-stepped everything.
I've got on with doing a lot of crewing on sailing yachts out at sea.
With working on the water then most jobs being re. marine begged to be capitalised on.
Naviagation at sea and seapersonship very much to the fore now.
Nothing come through yet(?) on "fatigue resistant welds" ideas.
That's the idea that welds done as they should be could have about the
same cyclic-stress fatigue endurance as the steels they are joinning.
Pressing various parties in cluding a nearby research group a
follow-up citing this ("square wheels")
https://hakanforss.wordpress.com/too-busy-to-improve/ https://hakanforss.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/are-you-too-busy-to-improve2.png also didn't elicit any response, surprisingly...
(they said they were too busy at that time to consider my idea)
Basically everything is in a "holding pattern" which is why the
sailing, to give me a "compass North" for structure.
The "Ukraine war" situation is causing a look at resources here, and
as most of the "North Sea oil boom 'Gold Standard'" have retired since
the oil price crash of early 2014, I'm wondering whether opportunities
might result.
Only whimsical thoughts, seeing as I know the managerialist grip has
only increased and any money aimed at a goal of increasing real
resource production will be tipped into "feasibility studies" and
other anything-but getting on with the actual job.
Likewise talk of having some Quality Control is like being a derranged off-their-heads long-haired wild aging social outcast standing on a storm-lashed rock outcrop shouting into the winds a message no-one
will hear.
So I'll just get on with a bit of sailing for now... :-)
