I'm at Camp

Just so everyone knows, i am out at camp for an oil drilling rig and i never know when i'll be home. I work between 10-18 hour shifts. I think i make 19/hour and its great. I work alot and am barely ever home. But i have to make this short cuz i'm gonna go get loaded. Take care and i'll be back sometime.

oh man, how can u settle for 3-400 every 2 weeks? That's insane. I could NEVER survive on that man. But to each his own dude. Man, i can't wait to get my pay cheque..haha. I might sell the car when i move to Calgary and get a nicer car or buy a bulletbike...probably a car because it'd be more practical for me..

well, our rig lease is way too muddy to move the rig so we have a few days off while they let it dry up so we can haul our rig out of there and move it. All is going well at camp and i'm glad to be home for a few nights. I need the good sleeps in my OWN bed. I know how much you have all missed me! The guys on my crew are awesome and we all just had a few beers at my boss' place so that was cool. I am the youngest on the crew and i get made fun of constantly but its ok..haha. I am starving...time for food

I hope you're getting paid cash. Cause paying taxes stinks.
