Post Working in the oilfield
Working in the Oil Industry............................

When I try to explain to people exactly what I do in my job, it's sometimes difficult to get them to understand. This may put it in a way that makes it easier to grasp.

1. We work in weird shifts ... Like prostitutes.

2. They pay you to make the client happy ... Like prostitutes.

3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny ... Like prostitutes.

4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams ... Like prostitutes.

5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the same profession as you ... Like prostitutes.

6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed ... Like prostitutes.

7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell ... Like prostitutes.

8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you ... Like prostitutes.

9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties to explain it ... Like prostitutes.

10.. Everyday when you wake up, you say: I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE DOING THIS SHIT'..... Like prostitutes.

The only difference is the prostitutes can take Christmas and New Year's Eve off and they actually DO make a lot of Money!!!

If you know someone in the oil industry please share this with them so they don't feel bad anymore.... Like prostitutes!!!
