Lol its not always that easy trust me
I work in the oil field on natural gas wells. I am on a crew where we log the wells for cement bond to the pipe casing. All in all the job is easy but its very long hours at times. Are average job is 20hrs straight non stop (Most of this time is sitting there doing nothing or driving we only physically work about 2hrs per job lol) but I am on call 24/7 so I never know when ill be working. But I'm not going to lie there is alot of time off when jobs don't call in which is nice and it pays very well. Plus if we get a slow week I am still guaranteed to get paid 50hrs whether I worked it or not

Most of the single guys I know just eat out every night. We have a bunch of restaurants or bars around here with good dinner specials.

He tried deleting his current pictures (2 cars; him between the cars) but the Forum wouldn't let him. I was going thru the same steps on my end of the phone (in St. Louis) and was able to complete the change. Maybe I should tell him to go to the 77gp Information Hotline.....:p

I've tried helping Rick also, he just doesn't seem to get it, it took me a log time also, it's easier done than said!

turbo monte, you did post it or have it in your profile where you work, I did check it out and from what you've said on call 24/7, that kinda sucks, but if the money is right that makes all the difference.......

Angie, avatars are a little trickier since they can only be so large. Sometimes you have to resize them. Who did you think was helping you? you make me laugh with Purple Passion fame remark.LOL Rick must have been trying to change his signature, his avatar is his mug isn't it?
I just couldnt have a job I was on call all the time. Heck, what if you wanted a beer?

Haha o I drink beer trust me almost every night I'm home I'm drinking. They normally give us a 6-8hr notice before we have to be there so its not to bad as far as being able to drink. The only thing that sucks is trying to make plans. There's times u will get called out and if u didn't tell them u wanted it off as a vacation day and a job calls in then good bye plans and hello work lol.
