    I don't hate the employees, they're just trying to make a living. But your right Keith, it's a shame what they do.

    ND isn't much better. More regulated, but this area is sparsely populated and this huge influx of oilfield workers makes people nervous. Sleepy little towns with 1500 people on the 2010 census now have 7000-8000 people, and of course the locals just don't like the oilfield people. And they aren't entirely off base, there are some pretty rough people moving in. Right before I came up here there was a case where a jogger was kidnapped, raped, and murdered by a couple guys who had come up here to work but couldn't pass a drug test and couldn't get hired. So you get used to saying what you do so as to obscure the fact that you work on the rigs.

    In lieu of an "Oilfield Trash" sticker I believe an "Earth First: we'll drill the other planets later" sticker is acceptable.

    Woot! I get to do some real geologizing in a few days. I have been granted 30 days' leave from work to go finish my field work for my master's thesis. So off to Missouri and Arkansas, tomorrow morning. So excited to get my masters done and get a real geology job. Geosteering is fun, don't get me wrong, but I'm so ready to have a job where I go home at night.

    Ewwwww.... Mine really shouldn't be too bad. Just I'm not 100% sure what it is yet, my advisor had to switch my project around. He told me it shouldn't be a huge project, something quickish for someone who is already working.


    Thanks! And congrats to you too. :D

    I don't hate the industry, I hate the lack of regulation and hush-hush attitude when shit goes wrong.
