Non-traditional student.
Work on campus which is why I have summer off. So, looking for job till August/September.
I have the same schedule as teachers, except I want to work in summer.

Almost all of our customers have either called or written me a letter (that's going to all their vendors) asking me to look at lowering their rates during this time.

I gotta be honest with you, as someone who doesn't make a whole lot of money it kinda feels good to hear that overpaid oilfield workers are getting a dose of reality.
WHY? DOES HIS TAKING A PAY CUT GIVE YOU A PAY RAISE?
I will never understand the class warfare, petty, chicken shite, jealousy of people like you for those who out-earn you. Is your world a zero sum existence? If I get Monday off, does that mean you have to work an extra Monday? If I have a jacked up Ford F250, does that mean you can't own one?
WTF is wrong with you? Other than you are apparently a poor, underachieving, petty individual.

I still got my bonus on my last paycheck. Haven't heard too much about layoffs with my company yet. I heard the drug tests for the field and shop personnel have noticeably increased though

I make more than that, but I appreciate your continued interest in my job.

Guess he's upset because that F-250 is bout to be someone else's.

I love the oilfield. Don't let the haters bring you down.

I never have to worry about getting a pay cut at my job. I either got a job or I dont. No in between. Sometimes reduced hours are offered when times are slow but that doesn't last long usually.
Posted on 2/5/15 at 2:28 pm to CamJuice
I got a 12% raise if it is any consolation 

Posted on 2/5/15 at 2:28 pm to CamJuice
Have to sell my F250 buy a F150 like a poor person.
