Nichts passiert

Well I've made it over a week and have managed to stay relatively sane.  Just a day and a half more and I'll be heading home to start the move.  Being on a drilling rig isn't so bad.  I mean it gets a bit repetitive.  I measured the time during the day by when The Office and Family Guy reruns were on.

The guys are really nice.  Most of them are either shy or don't like medics so they don't talk to me, but the ones that do are funny and willing to answer my questions.  They've been drilling the same hole since I got here (that's what she said!  HAHA!) and they are on the 3rd zone now so they might be done this one soon.  However there are 2 other holes on this surface location.  I'll get 2 weeks off then be sent back up here.

But in any case, there is little to report.  No injuries, not excitement.  It snowed for 3 days but it's been sunny since then and it all melted.  And then turned to mud.  Which I then tracked into the doghouse before a safety meeting and they made me mop it up.  Ah well.

One week till it's bye bye Edmonton!

What am I doing here again?

So before I get the chance to get my stuff packed and moved to the new place, I started a new job.  Moving wasn't enough stress for me apparently, I decided to throw in some new employment.  However said job has me out at work already.

2 weeks as the on site medic for a drilling rig.  Today I woke up, got into my coveralls, read for 3 hours, then watched a movie, or 2.  And some Food Network.  Did some sit ups.  This is my life for 14 days. 

*facedesk* 

The pressure testers brought a dog on site.  This was the most exciting thing yet.  I'll let you know if anything more interesting happens. 

The Endless Box Parade That Haunts My House

Indeed, it feels like a very long time since I've been in this situation.  The hurry up and wait of moving from one city to another.  After some minor calculations that took me far too long since I suck at math, I was able to figure out that I've been in Edmonton for 15 years.  And for an army brat, that is an epically long time.

So as I embark on a major move to another city, this time sans family who usually did all of the important organizing of movers and admin stuff,  I've decided to start this blog.  To explain the fun, the crushing defeats, and the general adventure that I'm embarking on. A fresh start deserves a fresh blog.  None of the old blog that had posts from my youth, cuz frankly I don't think I liked myself back then. 

Sit back, and enjoy what should be hilarious if not humiliating stories that I'm sure will crop up in the coming months.   If you'll excuse me now, I have to keep packing.
