After a 1 1/2 year layoff I am happy to say I am back among the working class. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it's a dang good gig.
Starting Monday, I will be working out of Lafayette, LA, as a Industrial Safety Manager. I spend one week there in training then it's off to a rig in the Gulf of Mexico for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off, 12 hr days minimum. I have no idea what I am or will be doing, it's all new to me. My job description was told to me as such, "Walk around and make sure everyone is in compliance with safety regulations". For the money they are gonna pay me I can do that. Plus, steak and shrimp every night aint a bad incentive.
I have no idea if I will have internet or phone reception so I may not be around for awhile. The two weeks on/off is going to take some getting used to. I will miss my family more than they know. Keep me in your prayers/thoughts as I venture into this new journey.
