Sign

He was never fond of working away from home for any length of time.

He knew it came with the territory and the pay was good. Some distance from the site he was working on he could see several cranes. The place had been humming with activity for several months; ever since the land agreements were signed by the corporation he worked for. His job was pretty straight forward, but he had to live and sleep on site until it was finished. Back in head-office they figured it’d take around two weeks. He thought that was probably about right. Basically, he had to erect twenty nine enormous structures, each one in the form of a shaped panel. They all had to be fixed in a prone position, each at a set distance apart. He had done similar constructs in the past, but nothing anywhere near this big.

He was coming to the end of it with only a couple of days to go. He knew there was going to be a lot of talk about what he was sent here to do. Knowing some of his friends, he was going to get a fair bit of ribbing as well. He didn’t mind any of it, really. His work would certainly be on show.

If he could finish up for a flight back in two days’ time he’d be able to catch the Grand Final. Although he can well imagine that a lot of people will be out with their binoculars reading his sign.
