I'm a stone cold rookie, gonna work the texas oil fields

i dont see it that way, i can make more if i work more, youre right though, gotta stay positive and make adjustments no matter how much change is involved. I knew this but it doesnt mean i cant get pissed about it. I really came a long way in just 3 months and i ran and learned hard for a reason......MONEY.

So i talked to my supervisor and he said it was no problem for me to continue with my own schedule which is 4/1, 4/1, 4/1, 5/1.

Ok, so today is pay day with my new modified hour pattern that i took the time out to formulate, it basically makes me work 160+ hours every 2 weeks and i have no long or short check with this schedule. I got to monitor my hours and make sure i max out my 70 with the days i have to work. Some weeks are kind of tough because i got to put 15's in or start work at 3 so i can get 9 hours before midnight to maximize my over time before the pay period ends, its pretty simple but still messes with your brain because a shift is from one day to the next.

Ok, going to log into nabor's website and see how much i made.

 

ummmm ok, 165 hours and i took home a hair under 2700.....well over my goal of 2500.

see you at the top boys.

 

yep yep, now i'm pissed that i came 9 bucks short of making 2700, i'll have to break that mark on my next check......lets shoot for 2800?? lol.

i'll update this sunday on my day off to all the responses on here, merry christmas you schmucks and get off your ##### and come and get the money out here, we dont feel the recession out here boys!

 

actually, now that i think about it ALL my checks are long now, think i'm over 90 hours this week, got tonights shift with 14 hours left to hit my 70 and collect my holiday bonus, its been a long week.
