so tomorrow i get paid, i worked 142 hours this check, i'll be very interested in seeing how much i made. My plan is to save a grand a week, so if i can still do that comfortably with that sort of check, then i totally wont mind what hours i get around here, definately at a cross roads here, we'll find out tomorrow. Its all about making adjustments for me here, i certainly dont want to leave nabors if i can help it, i dont want to start over some where else just for the sake of hours, its all about the money for me. saving a grand a week for me is easy, so whatever hours more i get is just a bonus.
i been definately slowing down a bit but i gobble the hours when they come, i dont go out of my way for hours any more because its been too much of a hassle and i need my sleep. However, if the hours are there, i'll always take them, to me its 50/50 now, if its there then screw the sleep and if not, go home, drink a beer and hit the sack......but thats only into my shift and not before it. The other day i was told my truck would be ready and come in at 4, the truck wasnt ready and do you think anyone told me? do i get paid for that? hell no. I wake up a few hours early for nothing, this isnt the first time but its definately the last. Of course i went back home and i felt tired and run down, nothing new and that dont bother me, but i get home and cant sleep which really sucks, then start my shift at 6 and felt like crap.
these are some of the challenges out here but its totally worth it, bein part of the oil field is really the coolest job ive ever had and i really love it.Last edited: Mar 1, 2012
HeWhoMustNotBeNamed Thanks this. -
Are you paid weekly or bi weekly? Paulcouto, I would just move on. You don't need a reason, but if you do...I have one. Life is too darn short and we need all the money we can get our hands on now while we are able to still physically able to earn it.
