    A good load followed by a new job? Yes please

    Well after picking up 1200 pounds of shred all in an hour along with some motors(to be broken down later) I got a call back for a new oilfield job. I drop my trailer and head to the guys hotel for an interview. The other guy had 8 years more experience than me in the oilfield and had also done this specific job before, but decided to show up wearing pants with a 6 inch hole in the arse region. Now us roughnecks aren't pretty but this is a swamper job not a rig job. So I got the job instead of him, that being the specific reason given to me by my new boss haha. Hello 5000 bucks a month, goodbye full time scrapping. I'll try to keep in touch but I will be working 3 weeks on 1 week off about 70-90 hours a week. Not every two weeks, EVERY WEEK. I've worked crazy shifts out here but I'm kinda scared lol.
