Results of the first day on the job!

So now that I am home, and signed in again...and Rotsuoy cannot post on my page cuz she does not know my password XD. I had a blast today. I got so dirty that you could have sworn I were a black dude from looking at my hands. So much oil all over the place, now THAT is a real job.
The guys are awesome there, we talked while we worked about everything from comedy movies with Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielson to Heavy Metal music bands like Pantera and Iron Maiden. These guys know how to have a great time.
The best part is, I get to go back tomorrow morning, same time unless they tell me to come in earlier. The job we were supposed to go on got post-poned until the early morning because something happened on the rig-site that we were to test at.
I got to take apart the testing drum in the back of the truck, finding out how it works, what it does and how it does it...cleaning all the gunk off of it from the pipes being drug through it that were coated in oil from the well. The machine scans the pipes with magnets to check the density and if there are any fractures, breaks, holes or splits in it, and then we code them from there according to their condition.
Either way, I freaking loved my first day, and I cannot wait to get back out there. 9 bucks an hour, another buck an hour if I get hired on and yet ANOTHER, WHEN I get my CDL. that right there, within a few months I could be making Eleven bucks an hour...I WILL support this baby, you better believe that. I will work my fingers to the bone to provide for my future family that I love so much *And besides...Rotsuoy loves the smell of a working man >8D*.
anyways...Wolfy out...gotta go drop the kid we watch off at scouts.

We pulled up 7,700ft of pipe from an oil well over the course of four and a half hours...tedious, but it was pretty fun.
