Once the oil boys lose their jobs you think you hippies will be working? Who the hell will be making any money to pay the taxes.

I can't speak for anyone else, but this hippy will be. One busy weekend a month is enough to cover my necessities.

Now I know why history keeps repeating itself. The only busy weekend you will have is lining up hoping to get a meal.

If that is directed at me, you are obviously suffering from a mild case of retardation. I've never needed a hand out. I've had my own company since 1998 as well as working full time for other IT departments, as well as consulting for O&G companies in the core. Although you sound a little butt-hurt about something, lose your job perhaps? No transferable skills or education to fall back on? My career choice, while it doesn't pay the greatest, is virtually recession proof. Mostly because of idiots like you, so thank you.

Bragging you earn enough by working one weekend a month, maybe let us know what your company name is, just in case we need that service, that way we can call your competition , he is willing to work 2 weekends a month so should be half the price of you !!!!! Most of the "oil boys" i know, work substantially more hours than that.
And no i'm not retarded and yes that was directed at you .

I'm actually bragging on how little it takes to provide the necessities ... not how much I make. In fact I actually stated that "My career choice, while it doesn't pay the greatest..."... buy hey.... I guess like beauty, reading is in the eye of the beholder :)

I'm rebuilding my chicken coop for winter and getting ready for snow. I only burnt one tank of gas last season and contemplated selling my sled but as I probably won't be working this winter I might actually get to use it.

We had our sleds stolen and by the time we got everything replaced we missed most of the season.. my wife ended up on a new 2015, and put less than 200km on it :( hope you don't sell....

This thread is hilarious. Everyone is harping on the entitled generation and here comes a guy that says look you can have a comfortable life and still have toys too and you don't have to work away from home or god forsaken hours to do it and everyone jumps down his throat and calls him overpriced and lazy.

If you've chosen to work away from home and chase the money that's great and I hope you reap all the benefits of that but don't be so ignorant to think there aren't other ways of doing it.

What can happen in a short time might surprise you. As far as I.T. departments how do you know, who I know. You might be shocked how I can change some ones employment chances in computers in the oil field.

2nd most retarded thing I have ever read on this site. You don't know me, you don't know who I know, you don't know what I'm about. Grow up man.
