The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[Plasmaball]

When the local economy gets poor, many decide to go "home". I don't have anyplace to go, so I just make it work.

Currently, the oil companies are spending $3B - $4B a year developing new infrastructure on the North Slope. Good people are hard to find. It's hard to believe, but they are bunking translators up there because that where they can get people.

If the AK LNG line goes (which might be a 50:50 thing now, best it's ever been), there will be a huge boom.

I know a few guys who have been working the oil fields in the Bakken Formation. From what they've told me, its very very lucrative, but not many last for long. Hard, dirty and relentless work. Especially during a boom. Only 1 of the 6 people i know, made it more than 10 months, and he stayed for 18. Made shit loads of money, but came back fucking worthless and blew every last dime. That was in the North Dakota area. I can only imagine the extra difficulties working in Alaska.

Maybe when i was in my early 20s, i could of made it a year, but now? Fuck that, I'm about 20 years past that opportunity. I get pissy when i have to work 5 days in a row!
