How many hours in a day are there? 24 you say. Most everyone would agree. This last week while I was in New Mexico there was someone who disagreed. We were drilling a water well for Shell this last 10 or 12 days and one of those days we crammed 28hours into 24. It was crazy. In the last 3 weeks I've been working there I've put in about 225hrs. Many nights I go to bed and sleep well. I'm tired but wow it is a very different tired than when I worked at TMP as the Dorm Coordinator for the boys dorm this last year. I feel really different. Its a good tired...maybe exhausted physically so I sleep well but I get up and go again. I'm not tired and draggin' like I found myself working at TMP. Some of it too is just adjusting to the work so its still fresh. I'm sure as the winter approaches and temperatures fall into the teens life on the drilling rig will be a little different...less sunshine. =p For now its been beautiful.
To work though has been a blessing. There have been some guys sitting at home waiting for work...kind of like I'm doing now but I'm sure I'll be back at it soon enough. I need to work on getting my CDL while I'm not out on the rig or somewhere else. We are supposed to be turned out to go crazy around July 15th as the big gas field that we will do a lot of drilling in is closed by the EPA and BLM. So now a little rest...pay bills...fun stuff like that. May have to run up to the Wind Rivers and mess around. I'll take my camera so I'll share a little of them on here.
RANDOM QUESTION: If you could open up a restaurant what would it be called and what kind of food would you serve?
