Arne Henriksen lives in a village near Stavanger in Norway. He’s an electrical engineer and he works on an oil rig in the North Sea.
Arne lives on the rig for two weeks and then he has two weeks off. For the first week, he’s on the day shift from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. In the second week, he changes to the night shift.
When he isn’t on duty, he always sleeps a lot. He usually goes to the gym, too, and he sometimes plays table tennis. There’s a cinema on the rig, so Arne normally watches five of six films a week.
I rarely get seasick, but it isn’t very nice when I do. The biggest problem is the shift work. When I change from the day shift to the night shift, I can never sleep. I watch a lot of films then!’.
