today was day #49 straight I have worked....tomorrow is day #50. 50 days with out a day off, Ill admit I had a chance at a day off but would you turn down $40/hr for 14 hours?! Me either man! I will get laid off when it gets cold but its supposed to warm up again...... may the Seasonal work gods have mercey on me and end this soon!
I did 3 months straight without a day off a few years back.
The first day off after that we headed to my buddies cabin and had a party.
From that day on, I take time off when I need/want it.
Life is too short to wast it working ALL the time.
Don't listen to your boss when he says "oh, it's only for a few weeks" because I garantee you after that few weeks there will be another "few weeks" LOL
When you need it take a break but don't be a retard and show up 3 days/week like the employees at my work.

**** thats alot of cash...
lets see... 8 hours a day. 40hrs per week. at around 12 perhour... and around 11 days per pay check
so 11 times 8 times 12= 1056... meh thats good for a summer job. times that by 4 and i would have made 4000 in 2 months

^ thats not very much money Tyler... working the rigs can give you up to $10k a month... I've met people that still blow that away.. oil and gas is crazy money.
There is SO much money to be made in the Petroleum industry

No one just starting out is making that kind of money.
Leasehand makes $20/hr
Roughneck makes $23/hr
Motorman makes about $26/hr
Derrikhand makes about 32ish/hr
Drillers make $36/hr.
Remember though that the shifts are 12 hours and the last 4 hours are time and a half. Also you get $125/day tax free living allowance. If you are in camp you get $40/day with I think $15 of that tax free.

Definitely some good money though. It's sick, and sad, to think guys haul that in yet still are in debt. It took me 9 years at my current job to be at the same rate as a Motorman but the nice thing is though you don't top out like say in a union. We have quite a few guys here making $35+/hr and this is a consulting firm.
