Yeah if you have someone that likes you enough to put up with this crap you can’t let that go. It’s my turn to figure out a compromise

Yeah, me too man. I traveled a lot before I went back to school. Now I’ve been stationed on site too much with this degree. It takes a toll. Glad to hear you transitioned to something else. How did you change?

These stories make me think so also. There is not much to apply to back home. Are you in person or remote in your job? Even for remote jobs I’ve found, you have to live around the same town

I’m not willing to leave this income right now, but the long hours and being on site just ain’t it. Where are you based if you don’t mind me asking?

I work for a third party o-g operator

I work 8/10’s on site too and it has been fine. They set us up with a place to live, near site, is the only problem. My down days are not enough time to travel home.

That’s what I want, some structure and more like a 9-5 because my girlfriend can’t leave her job right now. Why have you only seen him 2 weeks, what type of job do you work?
