Time for strippers and blow!
You shouldn't take it. Where is your sense of loyalty to your temp agency???
Congrats Cooter!!!! 
I did a lot of this work towards the end of my college career and stopped accepting work after a little while. I enjoyed the work, but the field work on the oil platforms was just flat out dangerous. Just keep your head up and your eyes open.
Congratulations and good luck!
congrats cooter !
Congratulations and good luck in the new position!
A guy at our church has a smile on his face 24/7 because he worked on offshore oil rigs for 10+ years. He described in stark detail 3 different times he almost died. The last one involving the helicopter he was in being blown off the deck and the tail snagging in the netting being the final straw. He said the thing started swapping and the guys on the deck started firing flame retardant foam right in the pilots windshield.
He said their job was not to save the copter, but the rig itself. One other time involved shattering some bones when being blasted off the deck in a pressure blast of some sort and falling a few stories into the netting.
You can see where the perma-grin comes from being on solid ground and "not dead".

I'm sure part of his perma grin comes from the size of his bank account after working that long offshoreA guy at our church has a smile on his face 24/7 because he worked on offshore oil rigs for 10+ years.

Congrats. If you're stuck in OK, you may as well have a smile on your face for something. 
Glad it's working out.
Thought of you on Friday at a little show of the Red Dirt flair. Randy Rogers and Casey Donahue.

that's kinda what I was thinking too.
quite possibly. Plus I'll never know what incentive package he may have "settled" for.
my thoughts on the suckitude of the location too........ 2 more years, that's it & I'm outta here, f#(k oklahomaCongrats. If you're stuck in OK, you may as well have a smile on your face for something.
man, I havent been keeping up with, or been to any shows in a couple of years......it's about time I hit some up. I've heard some Randy Rogers, but not this Donahue fella.......any good?
I like him pretty well. A little more edge than Jason Boland, maybe not as much as Stoney.
kewl, I'll check him out, thanks for the heads up
