    Screw that. Work 12s here and up to 16s if ya want. 21 an hour and after 8 hours goes to time and a half so 30 an hour.

    Normal guys do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off.

    with who? teh polar bears?

    they're awesome! set up/take down doesn't take any longer than a ground tent and they are 10x's more comfortable. And what Monte said too
    :laugh: yeah, all of that too. although I've only seen a drop of about 1mpg since I got the tent. Will probably get an AAL this winter. And lots of people stare. Gotta be on your best behavior at camp because you never know who's watching!

    Hated the darkness. That messed with my mind too much. But the constant daylight messed with me too. I had to have two alarm clocks - one in the morning to tell me to wake up and one at night to tell me t ogo to sleep. The first summer I was there I caught myself cleaning house at 2am and wasn't even tired :eek: and I had to work at 8am that same day. That's when I got the 2nd alarm clock

    Hrd not to get sucked into these jobs..before you know it you've been her for 10years and never did what you really wanted to do. Just about everyone up here is like that. The money is just so good

    Tomato..tamato

    Slick line would be cool

    Pretty much all metal shops close on the weekends...haha

    all the time, we need guys scooping water out of the mods all the time, litterally shoveling water so we dont have pools of them sitting on top of the floors etc....


    sounds gay but the pay is so worth it, contact a company called Flint Transfield Services or IPAC they are usually the ones looking
