Communications, communications, communications!

The plan was simple: one man to each vehicle.

We have two different camps. One vehicle (no. 1) was at Camp A and two (no. 2 and 3) at Camp B. I was at Camp B, and needed to fetch over a vehicle from Camp A. I took my driver, lets call him Andy, and took vehicle number 2 from Camp B and travel to Camp A.

At Camp A, I told the administrator that I needed two drivers. One to drive the remaining car (no. 3) at the other Camp (that is, camp B) and also to drive car number 1 situated at Camp A.

It’s really is simple.

Two hours later, after doing some work at Camp A, it was time to go to Camp B with three drivers and two vehicles.

Andy tells me he is driving car number 1. I said who is driving number 2. He does not know. The administrator secured another driver and said he will be driving number 2. I said, well who is driving number 3 at the other camp?

The administrator was dumbfounded. He said I have two drivers, he gave me what I asked.

He was right. When I said I needed two drivers, I meant two drivers excluding my own.

That meant there were no drivers for vehicle 3 at Camp B and only returned with drivers for vehicle 2 and 1.

No, both drivers were told to drive number 1.

It seems someone has corrected the mistake and as the second driver, Bill, has been told to drive number two, then told him to drive number 1 after finding out Andy should drive number 2 as Andy was with that vehicle in the first place but neglect to tell Andy he is no longer driving number 1 but number 2 instead.

Time wasted: 3.5 hours.
