I havnt seen a thread like this on here. So the title says it all.
Post pics if you have them!!!!!!!!

I am an MWD in the oilfield. I run a sensor (called a tool) that gives ,e inclination and azimuth. I relay that data to my counter part, Directional Driller, and they slide (steer) the drill bit where we need to go. It is a cool job, only draw back is I dont have a schedule and I am there from the beginning of a directional well until the end of directinal work.

My wheels, most times the rig roads are a fun 4wheeling adventure.

What do you do for a job?Oh you meant work ... my initial response was going to be;
I ply her with alcohol, fancy dinners, expensive gifts but most often just beg.

What do I do for a job? I kiss lots of unsavory @$$ and eat bushels of sh!t.

Specifically, I'm a defense contractor doing IT work which puts me at the bottom of the food chain. I think the toilet cleaner gets more respect - until something computer related breaks and then they're all sweet on me - for the 10 minutes it takes me to fix their screw-up.

I know what you're thinking.... Where can I sign up? Or was it: bitter much?

Hey, it is a job and the pay keeps my ungrateful clan happy so who am I to complain?

I work for a company owned by a couple of very large companies. Our job is to do the integration of broadcast equipment, hardware and software, and make sure it works. We also do a lot of work on the security side making sure it is very, very hard to steal.

I work QA, testing myself and writing scripts and programs to do the work for me. I used to be a telecomm software developer but I got over it.

I sure don't have a million bucks but I do just sit on my ass doing nothing, just waiting on the good ole monthly retirement checks in the mail (I'm retired and just loving it). Stick with it guys, your turn will come too unless YOUR President screws things up for YOUR future retirements.
