Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Congrats man!

 

Thanks. It's the reason I had to buy a truck...

 

Whatcha gonna be doing ?

 

Port Engineer for a tugboat company.

 

Congratulations bud! Welcome to the next chapter!

 

Here I am overnight supervisor for almost a month and I just checked my pay check and I still haven't gotten my raise. I gave up working the midshift with Fri-Sat off for overnights with Wed-Thu off because I was supposed to get a raise. Jon not amused.

On a brighter note, they started deducting my insurance so I guess I need to activate my cards and start going to the doctor and shit.

 

Liquid carbs are better than solid carbs.

He drinks Bud,,, so it doesn't count.

 

Depends on where you work, size and amount of difference in the business. I have been over 25 years now with the same place, prior to that longest was a couple 4 year stays. But if you are at a place where you can change roles and responsibilities and even business areas, then it's easier to stay. I never thought I'd be here as long as I have, but I have been able to change up what I do every 3-5 years, so "almost" like new jobs.

 

Same. Gotta change it up.

 

Reported.

 

Oh how I would have loved that.

 

This can be true. My employer has dozens of business areas across the globe. I definitely would like to make a long career here. Time will tell. I’ll be starting my MBA in a couple years, and when that is finished I expect a suitable role. If not, adios!!!

On a side note, oil and gas industry is getting hot. I’m getting emails and calls daily for engineering positions.

 

This is what I'm hoping for.

 

What! O&G is cyclical? I don't understand...

 

Thankfully I’m at the furthest downstream part of O&G. lol

 

x2.

 

I’d rather drink water than Bud.

 

I've been at my job less than 2 weeks and I'm at my 2nd appointment using my benefits. I'm not playing around about getting the most out of them after not having anything for so long.
