You know, the more I think about how shocked I was at how bad the truck looked... it is pretty cool.
 
Ok for those either bored, or interested. I got a SECOND job offer this week, this one going to work contracted through Baker to go to work 14 & 14 on a deep water platform. Raise and a promotion, plus a cook, BR hand, On site mechanics, IT hands and a crane operator. All the operators do is Manage the operations, We dont even Pop our own Pilots for MMS testing, the IT hand does it!!! my job will (hopefully) be just monitoring the Chemical injection and maintinaing an inventory of the chemicals on hand.

Plus I found out some pretty S***ty things abotut he Colorado job so that is right out. the bad: Baker gives vacations in the form of an extra check, I could not take time off to go on rides like I did last year with the SCC. But the way my schedual would fall I will be off this years SCC anyway!!!! Win Win Situation?

PS. Using the Windshield wipers is cheeting ;)

Hey, I talked with a guy named Greg Evans at Baker about a similar job with ATP or something like that. I know they were looking for an A and B maybe we will end up on the same contract.

That is a big part of my wanting to stay down here, would be less headache and definatly less heartache.

Thats what I am thinking. The Colorado thing bummed me out because i knew there would be great wheeling up there, but I wouldnt get to enjoy it with my friends :(

No way man? The job that my friend is trying to get me in on is on the Innovator in MC 711 I think it is.

Well tell him to put in a good word for me and I will give him the referral bonus.
 
Thanks, the guys where I am at are not making it easy to leave :frown:. I feel bad for leaving, the B-has a good head on his shoulders but this is his first hitch here. tried to show him as much as I could. Our lead though... he is a nice guy but after being here for four months yesterday I had to show him where the well files where because someone called for some information. I had to remind him to do a safety drill this week, I had to take him on a tour of the platform and explain to him how the flow went on this platform, how to swap the generators, he did not even know our compressor was down stairs till I showed him how to check the oil in it.

not to sound stuck up or egotistical but unless the B is as good as he says he is, which is not a good posibility with as much time as he lays in bed and watches movies during the day, this place is going to go to hell when I leave. And I cant Lie, the lead has been on the phone for the last three hitches trying to get me a bump in pay but enough is enough. I have an opertunity now and if I dont take it who knows when the next one will come? So why so i feel like ****?

It is normal to feel like ****. As soon as a few of those larger checks come in the mail.....the feelings pass.:beer:

yeah, I guess. The fact that about 1 hour after I wrote this, the area forman called and wanted to know where a requisition for some parts was and I had to scramble and get it E-mailed before the vendor closed while my lead was already snug in bed kinda makes me feel better about it also :D... leaving that is, I was pretty ticked off over the Requisiton not being done and the forman talking to me like I should have made sure it was sent :mad:
 
Any fans of the Olympics? Michael Phelps has been kicking some @ss. Swimming all of a sudden is fun to watch as he blasts by the best swimmers in the world. :clap:

I have not been keeping up with anything but the medal count... We have the most in total, but the (explitive deleted) have more golds. Damn them and their polution tolerant lungs, this was a set up from the get go, the chemical haze was their scheme to be able to win.
 
yeah the relay last night was awesome, we were 3 body lengths ahead at the end of the 3rd leg, WOW!!

Its been exciting to watch. They certainly bended the rules in their favor on a few events but thats the bonus to hosting it right?

Absolutely watching Phelps push out that big lead and the team holding on to it for a new WR of 6:58 with momma in the stands seeing her son become the greatest Olympian to date with 11 Gold Medals. Thats movie making material and exciting to watch. :clap:

bending the rules? did I miss somethign interesting by not watching?

Just some of the under aged participants for China. They are suppose to be 16 and they had a few under that age but because the country gave them visas saying they were 16 they weren't investigated.
 
I hadn't heard anything about bending the rules but I thought it odd a few things.

1. The "ugly" kid sings, the "cute" kid lip syncs (that's something the USA would do..lol)
2. "Digital" fireworks were shown w/ the real ones on TV making it look "awesome"
3. Never heard of sync diving ..and that's all you see seems.
4. Many sports played here but all we see are those folks in w/ swimming, gymnastics (don't mind the ladies ;)) and volleyball... strange
