re: Gmt- Working on MLK Day edition

Yup. Making the bacon on MLK....

Damn that sucks

I'd like to just go back to school but my wife is having number 4 in March. I have a few leads but it's mostly contract work, and I need insurance because of all the kids. Also a possibility of going to Kuwait which would not be ideal

How old are you? I thought you were like 22

I do MWD work. And Bama I am 30

Yea I don't have any kids. Need to shop for insurance though.my cobra runs out in sept. shite isn't cheap anyway. And my unemployment finally ends in two months. Had almost a year of it.

I refuse to go work in Middle East. frick those people. Would rather changes lifestyle and change careers. I understand that may not be an option for some

I was a DD, well planner, MWD, and have done sales. Think not having a bachelors really hurt me.

I was coordinating the last 5 years until this past August when they sent me back to the field. I could be a DD with minimal training but as you can imagine nobody wants to do that right now. I have a lot of contacts in the industry so I'm hoping to find something. If not I'll go to the plants in Lake Charles

And I like how they say to go look for something else when they know as well as you what's out there

Hey tides. Me too. I hate dreaming

One of the big 4. Got passed over for numerous office jobs in houston for kids straight out of school. I also should have kept my well planning job and not gone back to the field as a DD. Got lost in the numbers then. Drilled 8 wells in first two months without one issue last winter. I'll be honest I don't miss any of it. I was happy about the money I was making not what I was doing. The DDs they kept are all 10+ year guys and I had only worked 2 months this stint and was 4 years removed from a field position. So it doesn't bother me. They offered to send me to Middle East. Told them I would rather get laid off

So they did.
