And it's 12 hours, which means more than 12 especially if it's a long way from camp to site.
No day off for washing clothes - do it when you have time.

Which is minimal for the flesh robots.
Wake at 0400 or 0430, shower, dress, breakfast, make lunch, travel, work, travel, dinner, hear from wife/ husband/ other on phone, watch laptop or tv for a few minutes, asleep by 0800 if possible.
And squeeze in a visit to the wet mess or gym if you're so inclined.

Try to sleep in the heat with noisy aircon drum fans, shift change idiots on the p*ss, laundry nearby with dryers banging away, gensets or septic alarms going off, muppets arguing on the phone with drunk wives at midnight (yeah that's gunna work ....), snorers, farters and tossers audible through paper-thin walls (like the dripping shower next door), clock alarms going off at all hours in the rooms of idiots who have gone home (though if you're on 2 and 1 home is a minesite - where the family lives is just the place you pay for), etc et bloody cetera.

Sounds awesome. Where do I sign up ?
