I know we have a wide variety of people on here. Post a picture of where you work. My office is in the back of the blue truck. Sorry for the crappy cellphone pictures.

Look at my Avtar, that's where I work. Newfoundland is my sales area.
I wish I had some cool work site to show you guys.
This is mine: http://web.mac.com/iajukes/thecommit...good%20one.jpg
I'm the second one down. facing the rolled up part of the can. I'm a newbie, so I don't get a window office...yet.

They offered to let me go roughneck - said they wanted to have me around if things picked back up. I declined - I'm in better shape now than I was in the late 80s, when I was working on rigs, but I didn't want someone else bumped to make room for me - makes for tension on a crew. And there were some office politics that I just didn't want to play. So, I'm doing lots of stuff at the house now!
Yeah. Mainly cased hole. On that particular job we were running a casing corrosion analysis. In that province, Rigs are required to run one for every 30 days they drill to make sure they aren't eating away at their surface casing with the drillpipe. I don't mind it at all...it's gravy work. We are still busy up here in Northern Alberta/BC although a little slow now with breakup and road bans.Quote:

And here's my "boss" checking in on things.
Attachment 1028
She's 19 months old and the best boss I've ever had. I'm almost regretting having to go back to work in the next few months.

Only picture I could find. I work in a chemical lab. I'd like to know how long it took them to get this lab clean, looks totally different now.

This is me at "work", or at least it's what I get paid to do.
You swim and shoot birds with your M16? Just kidding, I can see that you're shooting at MIGs.
Those MIGs are pesky little creatures. They leave droppings all over the place.
Officially my job site is known as a "Convoy Support Center". To me it's still an Army truckstop.
Think of the space port on Tatooine in Star Wars with Obi Wan and Luke, except there are trucks and no space vehicles.
