Working in the Oil Industry. When I try to explain to people exactly what I do in my job, it's sometimes difficult getting them to understand. This may put it in a way that makes it easier to grasp. 1. We work in weird shifts …. Like prostitutes. 2. They pay you to make the client happy .... Like prostitutes. 3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny... Like prostitutes. 4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams ... Like prostitutes. 5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the sameProfession as you ... Like prostitutes. 6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed ... Like prostitutes. 7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell ...Like prostitutes. 8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you... Like prostitutes. 9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties explaining it ...Like prostitutes. 10. Every day when you wake up, you say: "I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE DOING THIS SHIT"..... Like prostitutes
Anyone interested from Canada I just heard of Red Tag Vacations seems to be some pretty good last minute deals. www.redtag.ca
Anybody thought about dates yet? We're looking at either the 10th - 20th or the 10th - 21st. One week has to be the week of the 9th. So far for us, Expedia.com is the cheapest.
We think and talk about dates almost every day! We are so excited to come back to TTR! We will be there the week of the 9th. Our dates are either 5th-19th or 9th-22nd. Can't get here fast enough!
Observations on Growing Older ~Your kids are becoming you... and you don't like them... but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good... Coming home is better! ~When people say you look "Great"... they add "for your age!" ~When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything...movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them. ~You forget names.... but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! ~The 5 pounds you wanted to loseis now 15 and you have a better chanceof losing your keys than the 15 pounds. ~You realize you're never goingto be really good at anything.... especially golf. ~Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember. ~The things you used to care to do,you no longer care to do,but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. ~Your spouse sleeps better on a lounge chairwith the TV blaring than he or she does in bed.It's called their "pre-sleep". ~Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident! ~You used to say,"I hope my kids GET married"... Now, "I hope they STAY married!" ~You miss the days when everything workedwith just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem were unheard of, and a mouse was somethingthat made you climb on a table. ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ??? ~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. ~Your husband/wife has a night out with the guys or gals but is home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M. ~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it. ~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~Everybody whispers. ~Now that your spouse has retired ... you'd give anything if he/she would find a job! ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ... 2 of which you will never wear. ~~~~But old is good in some things: old songs, old movies, And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
