Yes. I'm not sure if i could do it without internet honestly. And we have satellite TV out here, so i still get to watch football, and other sports. The internet is terrible, its satellite internet so there is a delay in it. So there is no way to do things like play xbox live or anything like that, but it is sufficient for surfing the web. Some of the guys out here play WoW, and i used to play Runescape a little when i first started to pass the time. You can definitely tell there is a slight delay, but you learn to deal with it.

YES YES YES YES YES!!! I would love to go to space. That would be so sick!

Lol well the roughnecks dont usually do that. They are actually doing manual work their whole time, but the job i have, i still have to be on the rig (in my trailer, about 30 yards from the rig, because we have cables hooked up to stuff on the rig). There is a lot of downtime, where you go days without drilling sometimes, so a lot of the guys bring their xbox's out or play games like wow to pass the time.

I have always been on pretty good rigs. I know some of the hands smoke weed, but thats about it. I have never seen anyone messed up while on the rig either. They do random drug tests, but only like once a year or so, unless there is a major problem. If someone gets hurt or something messes up, they will come out and drug test. The company i work for does regular hair follicle tests, so i stay far away from all drugs.

Plastic all the way! Plastic is made from Oil byproducts, so the more plastic used, the more job security i have!!!
