The time has come. Tomorrow I head out West to Midland, TX for my semi-relocation. Now when I tell people how long I will be gone, I usually get the response "That is terrible. I don't know how you do it." My response is "I don't know how I will do it either." Their attitude typically changes when they realize I get to fly home on the weekends. Now although this might not sound too terrible, it is. Consider the following:
1) All of the fun weekday social activities you get to participate in over the next 16 weeks, I will miss.
2) I must pack and un-pack 16 times. That is a lot of pre-planning of outfits.
3) I will eat 3 meals out a day with the same group of 5-8 people. Now don't get me wrong, I like most of these people, but that is a lot of time together. (Not to mention eating out is not so great for the waistline).
4) Miss Rhea will not get to see her Momma very often.
5) Although the TSA agents at Midland/Odessa International Airport know me, I will still get patted down most Fridays because I will have a flow shirt on. It gets real old.
Despite all of these downfalls of traveling, I like my client, I love oil & gas and I put up with my job. I will do my best not to complain to all of you over the next 4 months, but this is my apology in advance. I got myself into this mess when I demanded to work in oil & gas. So peace out for now, and hopefully I will see you when I weekend in Dallas. In the meantime, I will work on finding my rich oil man that can give me PTO for Life! (Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?)
