Once again, I'm sitting in my truck for 12 hours a day and getting paid that sweet O&G money. I'll be doing this for over a month.
Ask Me Anything... |

Can you just drive home and still get paid?
How about sitting on some patio and hanging out with a few cold ones? |

Make sure to check the CO levels. Recently a person died because they sat in a vehicle for several hours while the engine was running. CO came into the cab and never woke up.

I'd prefer ot like that vs. getting ready to walk out the door at the end of the day and getting roped into an extra .5-1.5 hours that they might try to send me home early on Friday to make up for.

As long as it is not a government job as I am sure there is a lot of sitting around doing nothing with most government jobs.
Years back I worked for a large manufacturing concern and they laid everyone off but me in my department. I had to pretend to be busy until they transferred new people in and that took a while. It made for long 8 hour shifts. |

There are days that we make more than we earn, but there are a lot if days where that's reversed. |

Sounds like a good spot to be this time of year. I'm not looking forward to summer though.
IIRC I've used your company for portable flares in the past - always good dudes that showed up and got shit done. |
