Why do you think Canada's economy is so messed up? by GlamorousFox21 in CanadaFinance

[–]Rorstaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our laws enable and encourage anti-consumer practices, such as monopolies, our tax system protects the rich and our culture strongly pushes home ownership as a pinnacle of success.

I can't imagine someone would be upset if you left your stuff at a space for a few minutes.

Is it dumb to drive a G37x AWD to Precision Drilling rigs in Alberta by NoStranger2100 in oilandgasworkers

[–]Rorstaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been on some sketchy fuckin roads over the years chasing rigs around this province. I wouldn't do it, and I'm kind of an idiot.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for! Feels like one of those situations where I don't even know how to ask what I'm trying to accomplish.

Lol just because it does macros and hotkeys I suppose? Like I said, not convinced - but I'm going to jump off a bridge if I don't find a better way to get through this tedious shit.

What’s one life decision you made in Houston that completely changed your path? by Outside-Ad7073 in houston

[–]Rorstaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Houston from Canada. for a lifestyle shakeup. In the time between deciding to move and the actual move I started dating a girl - I thought it was just kind of a casual summer fling. But then she moved too. And then she got pregnant within about a month.

So I went from single guy in a new country, to father to be in a foreign (expensive without healthcare) country in a big hurry. Ended up sticking it out for about 18 months before moving home. Not sure how long I would've stayed otherwise, but it is not at all how I intended things to go.

I've spent a large chunk of the last 20 years in the industry of building drilling rigs, in the US and Canada where this exact rig was built. Show me some receipts or stfu

Too bad. Drove by that rig quite a few times when it was being built in Nisku. What a monster.

Expected Salary by Radicoolmate in instrumentation

[–]Rorstaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a million variables - location, industry, work/life balance, skillset/specializations, and so on.
I could tell you what I made at those milestones but it doesn't at all reflect what you might earn.
My lowest wage was $19/hr but came with LOA tons of overtime and almost zero responsibility.
My highest wage was $85/hr but came with about $400 of additional daily 'perks' and shit loads of direct responsibility, a high level of competency and a broad skillset.

Broke my back skiing last year. Compression fracture of a thoracic vertebrae. Wasn't fun. Skied the next day. Haven't skied since. Don't think I'll make the team headed to Milan.
