My time in the oil field
To give you guys a clearer explanation of what I do (and to bitch), most of the time, I work in a nice office in Houston where I do normal Sys Admin/IT stuff.
Some days, however, I spend out in the field. Literally, the oil field, walking around in mud (made with spilled oil well water – taste the extra salts, bromides, and toxic chemicals!) working on some monitoring equipment.
Because having stuff shut down costs the company money, getting stuff back up and working is paramount – so I can be here pretty late.
I snapped a couple of pictures from the field that I’ll post later, showing the meter site where we are working, and my tiny closet of responsibility, the PLC shack.
Anyways, I’m bored, tired, dirty, and hungry, so I figured I’d take 5 minutes to bitch/explain.
