New Years Eve- How Late?

[cinda]

I started back at work on New Years eve. Found out we had to go out and perforate drill pipe on a blown out well either late that night, or early the next morning. Got a call and left at PM. The rig camp was full, so me and my crew grabbed a room in a nearby town. Got a call at PM that they were ready for us, so we headed out...about an hour away. On the logging road we stopped and chained up one of the trucks. I got to spend my new year's chaining up a logging truck (no, not tree logging...well logging). Got out there and found out they actually weren't ready for us...the company man was just assuming their testing would go according to plan. We headed back to our hotel, arrived at 230am and I got some sleep, expecting a call at 5am or so to come back out and do our job. Call never came and I woke up at 9am sort of confused. Made a call and apparently they don't need us now until this afternoon at the earliest.

Gotta love the oil biz.

Anytime you can get paid for sleeping is a good way to celebrate! We had a bad snow storm that day I worked a 1/2 of day then we ate in and I went to play on the PC. I looked up from reading stuff on the PC and noticed it was 2 am so I was up but I missed it anyhow! Happy New Year.
