    Eh. I didn't think so. Been awhile since I've worked nights. Hopefully I'll be going back within a year.

    Volcom, you work DuPont or rolling 4's?

    That's the shift schedule I used to work. I kind of liked it; take a set off and bam. 12 days off in a row. I'm at an oil refinery as well, straight days though.

    Serious question, what kind of work is done on an oil refinery? And how long is the ride to it? Via boat or heli?

    I think you're thinking of an offshore platform. Refineries are on land.

    As for what kind of work, well that's a pretty expansive question lol. You have Operations, Maintenance, I&E, an army of contractors augmenting Maintenance and I&E in addition to performing a million other jobs... Platforms have more or less the same type of personnel but on a much much smaller scale.
