40 hrs/wk x 50 = 2000 hrs/yr (2 weeks vacation) 100 hrs/wk x 26 = 2600 hrs/yr 6 / 28 day hitches / per year... 5 days/wk x 50 = 250 days/yr 28 days X 6 hitches /yr = 168 days /yr or with travel add 18 days to that... I am very happily married and most of the time my wife is really cool with this, as she is being right now... I'll get to see her less than three days in over two months...I'm the one being the biatch about this... I am already retired from one job, and enjoy my time off, with... my wife, my dog, my camaro, my harley, and my friends...All of them but my wife are negotible in order... My two boys are 24 and 22, playing professional baseball and a Sr in College respectively... They are doing their own thing most of the time, but we make time for each other... We do not get vacations... if your on hitch, you better be on the rig or in the hospital for something other than elective surgery... what goes around comes around... I work 28/28 (international) and that really figures to 31/25 due to travel... We are only paid for the hours on the rig, unless you have one of the Salary Positions... which I used to have... gave it up for more money and work I enjoy more... And you really don't want to know what I make per hour... but suffice it to say, I don't know of a drilling company anywhere that pays any position more per hour than a subsea engineer makes...Most Sub Sea engineers make substantially more than the OIM, Offshore installation Manager... our boss... we are hourly, they are salaried... no ot...

this will blow yur mind....down the hill eight minutes from my house is a graphic design place me didnt know was there..duh ! they do basic stripes...custom design vinyl ...or will lay out designs at paint shops ...what ever you want.....they give a choice,if you want a one of a kind...its more money,and they will not duplicate it for anyone...a custom design that you dont want to be private cost less but prolly still expensive.......its got me thinkin......

Yeah, I'm about ready to haul mine down to a paint shop and let them do some striping... I'm pretty convinced I want the ghost stripes... I was hoping the Dale Eanrhardt spoiler would come out so I can put it on first...We'll see... I'm probably a few months away from doing it anyway...If that one doesn't come out, i'll either design and build my own, or go with the Street Scenes spoiler...I'm leanign towards the design and build my own deal though... It really isnt hard, just takes time and patience...
