By threatening to tell someone. Creeping on a girl is a good way to get run off a rig and never work for that operator again.

No cure. My ass is killing me

Yikes, no I have not. I have heard of it happening on other rigs. There was one where you used to be able to lay out in the sun on the helipad, and then someone jumped and ruined that for everyone.

As far as sea monster attacks, we don't seem to have a protocol for that. (I mean we should, have you SEEN the movie The Rig??!) We do have a contingency plan for "pirates" that always makes me laugh...the "pirates" being environmental terrorists. Apparently they sail up in their sailboats, climb aboard and lash themselves to the derrick. Our plan is to shoot fire hoses at them to keep them from getting on board, because once they are on the ship it is our responsibility to keep them safe

There's not too many of us out here. Today, there are I think four of us on board out of 172 people. I've seen as many as 8. The best characterization I've heard of it was this old guy at a bar saying to me "Damn, you're just like Smurfette!!"

Frankly, I don't really feel discriminated against out here. The guys are all very aware of what is right and wrong in that sense, and I do my job just like everybody else. I do think it's a little sad that there are so few women doing this sort of thing, and I'm not sure why that is. We tend to get hired faster when we do apply, I think mainly because companies are trying to increase their F/M ratio to look more equal opportunity. There just aren't that many applicants.

Yep, depending on your captain. I hear of people catching blackfin tuna pretty often, if you can drag it out of the water before the barracuda eat it off your hook
