In the field again.

I left at 6am on Saturday with 3 people that I work with to go on a frac job for a new fluid....it was near Victoria,TX. After driving all day we went out to the location to do some pre-job testing...we didn't get to the hotel until midnight. This morning we met at 4:30 to go back to location after our "nap." We finished pumping the job around 2 and got away from location around 3ish and drove up to Austin and called it a day.



The worst parts of going to field:

1. Port-a-potties....needless to saw I will not use them. So today from5:30 until 3ish felted like it was never going to end...starting about 6:30am.

2. When you get 3 hours of sleep and the company man (customer) thinks it's humorous to call me Sunshine....not amused

3. Rain....being wet and muddy all day is not funny

4. Only getting 3 hours of sleep



Other than that it's a nice change of scenary from the lab

Kids

It's been a while since I've updated this. Nothing exciting has been happening in Duncan. A few weeks ago we had more layoffs. It was about 250 people total but no one in the Technology Center got laid off this time. I looks like I might be going back to the field at the end of this week. If the job stays on schedule I'll be going back to Bay City, TX on Friday. All our kids are four-legged furry guys....so that's what you get to hear about :-) I've been busy with Jack, he's been sick on and off for the last month...but hopefully he is better now. He is acting more like himself....but he has gotten used to being spoiled. Riley wishes she was an only cat still....she hasn't been the same ever since the first trip to the vet. Rusty is exited that the squirrels are back...so he has something to "hunt"
