Wow…
I’m tired. I think I hit the snooze button about 4 times this morning. Granted, I don’t have to be too work until about 7 today.
The last couple of days have been okay. Bore hole testing is kind of neat. They drill, I watch and wait. That’s all there pretty much was to it. We took samples every five feet. Then we cored when we hit rock. The two guys doing the drilling were pretty quick about doing things, and really quiet surprisingly. Not that you can talk real loud with a loud machine.
I’m sunburnt again. I can’t seem to escape that. And it looks like I might be going into work this weekend and giving JW a hand. Denver wants all the samples I brought back from test pitting sampled by monday. They’re freaking out of their minds. I brought back about twenty-eight 50 gallon buckets of dirt. It takes about 3 hours to process one bucket. Then you have to wait a day because two samples have to be dried back and then one washed and dried again. Thankfully they don’t need proctors or else LN would really be glaring at me. She’s the only one back in the lab currently. The rest of us are out in the field.
We are so understaffed. There are some things I wish I’d known before I started working for this company.
Anyways, I’ve gotta jet and get to work. We have more drilling to do later on, but the holes need to be staked first. Fun.
You working for a Driller or an Energy Provider (Like I do)? we are kind of understaffed too, for how much work we are starting to pick up in looking for that precious Natural Gas here in these oldest O&G fields.
Never been out on site myself. Kinda no reason for it, I just processs data and find ways to store it more efficiently. Would be fun to see what we do out there though.
