The uncle part is funny but not funny. The mental picture is very funny. As far as the wood shop incidents, did you save any in a jar and use it as a visual teaching aid?
Don't you just love a tight rear end?

And yes I did have some good pictures of the fingers and the hand that I had posted next to the machines. After the first couple happen I felt like a pro dealing with the people and getting them medical treatment. Got so used to it I was able to get pics before was off to the Hospital.

On another note I do have a little bit of a messed up pinky finger from smashing it in the hydraulic torque wrench and a nut. Was rigging down a coil tubing unit and got my finger stuck while in the man lift by myself. Had to turn the wrench around and loosen it up. That was a tricky thing to do considering it was at a Conoco site and they watch everything. Somehow I managed not to get caught and not shut down the site for an injury. ha ha

When we grabbed the lubricator and got it vertical over the wellhead, the wheels tapped that lifting cap, and it fell off. I had my hand on the well, and it fell three feet and landed on my hand. Squirted my finger right off into my glove.
I was on a two weeks on, one week off schedule. We shuffled my schedule so I went on days off immediately, and that week off was enough for me to get surgery and go back to work, so there was no "lost time" incident. Then I went back to training to run a truck, which was very low impact work (no pun intended) for the next three months. While I was gone, Oxy said they witnessed me drop the cap on myself, and I got the blame for it.
But hey, I made $1,900...
Two surgeries, no pain pills, and I scheduled every appointment for my days off, because I thought I was riding for the brand. I had an appointment for the rater, and decided to skip my days off and work, because they needed help. That pissed off the doctor, so they set the next rater appointment, and said it was important, and I didn't have a choice. It was on a day on. One of my managers after all this told me I really should be trying to schedule these things for my days off....
Halliburton. The oilfield is a machine that keeps going no matter what. We had a tool come off and spear a guy through the neck and kill him. We were back out there the next morning logging the well with his blood still on the ground.Last edited: Jun 6, 2022

Heck I rolled a truck into a creek and could have drowned. It wasn’t Halliburton. Just like that the District Manager became an accident reconstructionist and told me what happened. Not what I know happened and what the pictures clearly showed. I got hot over that one.
