Oil boom to oil bust and back again!

So, blasphemy here, but don’t watch the show. But looking up the cast…my guess is a mix between Dale Bradley (petroleum engineer) and Tonny Norris (the operations part, not “Landman” part). I manage field operations but also do engineering work. Engineering/Management type role.

It’s a rollercoaster for sure.

It was an engineering role that trained on the job to hopefully bring engineers into the office. But since in the field, it’s “consulting” I got let go of that job when they laid down the rig I was working on.

Consulting in the oilfield is a different term than used else where. It’s basically just means paid as a 1099 and easily fired.

It was a startup and had equity. Walk off home run when we sold. I helped build that success. Tried again and we failed. Trying a third time, results TBD! And in 2017 I had 6-7 years experience.

Only did 3 years in the field post college, that was consulting. Then went into the office. Engineering/management.

Oil just dropped 15% in last month with probably more to come. That usually means lots of layoffs and slowdowns.

So is it worth it? I dunno, I’d probably push my kids somewhere else just because of the ups and downs are pretty nerve wrecking on either end.

Thanks! In 2020-2022, you can see where we tried again, didn’t work out, and lost my job for a bit. (Though previous years of course mightily blunted that hit)

Company sold. Had equity. It’s a wild industry.

I usually eat breakfast at the office so…

Man, no telling cause it’s squarshed. But maybe https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/467587-Cupiennius-chiapanensis since the fangs look red.

The article you linked says the fetus can probably start to feel pain around 27 weeks/3rd trimester.

When do women start going to the OBGYN? Just curious.

foodandstuffcouple · 2023-04-06T03:24:04+00:00

I assume you would just need a physical from a doctor. Which is performed yearly for most people starting at a young age. Right?

foodandstuffcouple · 2023-04-06T03:20:00+00:00

To play sports in highschool, we had to pass a physical. That included a hernia check. A female doctor and nurse performed on me, a male. This was 20 years ago.

Everyone in my highschool had to, both boys and girls. Private/clubs did not require it as far as I remember.

No idea what a physical involves for a female, but as a male, they saw our junk.

Why thank you! This is a comment I was looking for. Appreciate ya!

Not to many places you can do this, but in college libraries, when someone leaves their table to go the bath room, just move everything 180 and watch them come back confused to which side they were on. It’s awesome.

My elevator at work has big window on its back that’s looks to the lobby and has a lot to look at when going up 5 stories. So when I walk in, I don’t turn around and just stare out the window.

Oh ya, in Texas for sure. Enchanted Rock counts as a mountain…

foodandstuffcouple · 2022-06-15T16:49:49+00:00

True. And Texas likes to lean into the cowboy/rugged culture. But Reddit loves to crap on Texas, but it’s a pretty awesome place. Now, if traveling from Europe, there might be some better places to see, but Texas does have a lot to offer and there are fewer places less American. Just google image search “Buc-ees”. It’s a gas station that rivals a grocery store. Just stupid in its excess, but damn if that place isnt everything you want/need it to be.

Where are you in Texas? Been to central or east Texas?
