What do you do for work?

i work on a drilling rig

I work maintenance full time and then also paint/maintenance tech here at the apartment complex where we live, part-time.

So each week for 7 years I've been working 60 hour work weeks, sometimes more if needed. And I still find time for our critters. Oh yeah, and the wifey too!

My motto is "I work to live, not live to work". Trust me, I'd quit my second job if we could afford to in a heart beat. It stinks not having a life, but I'm kinda used to it.

I study chemistry at the university and started my interviewing to start dental school in september. (Fingers crossed).
I also own my own window washing business in the summer.

I'm a warehouse rat that works...you guessed it...the night shift. It's deadend, but I've been there so long the pay is pretty good so I'm sort of trapped. It's easy work though, the hours are good, and it's stable, full time work. I can't complain, but I do any way.

I work offshore on drilling and production rigs. I have about 35 rigs I take care of. My company does natural gas compression. I also work the night shift and the day shift and the everyday shift. LOL

Ive been working as a heavy equipment operator for the past 11 yrs for VQ. I started working in asphalt when I was 18. We pave state roads here in PA,so next time your held up in traffic and your late for work, you know who to blame:rage:. We paved sections of I-81, currently im on rt 30 in Chambersburg and last year I worked on the Pa Turnpike(Ugh, what a nightmare). Cant really complain cause im always at a different location.:D

Last year and a half I've been a stay at home Dad and been loving it. Was the Regional Service Manager for a commercial laundry company that provided service and equipment nationally. Did that for 21 years. Been looking to get back to work without much success. Now being trained to sell advertising locally as an independent and looking to own my own laundromat. Going back to work for a large company is very unapealing to me.

Were you anywhere near the rig that went up last week? I hear that was a big mess. Was anyone hurt?

Thats really cool. I grew up in a family of operators. Spent my childhood climbing on loaders, scrapers, track hoes, dump trucks and such :)
