As I mentioned before, I was laid off from my job on the drillships recently. With all the bad news from the oilfield and thousands of lay offs every week, I thought I might be out of work for quite a while. I thought I might have to wait til the price of oil went back up. Many of my friends have been looking for months. 🙁

I started looking around online and asking friends even before I got back home from vacation. None of my usual companies had any work. Everything was dead slow.

Last week a friend told me about a possibility and he passed on my resume. This company called me and we’ve been talking ever since. It looks like I’ll be headed back offshore much sooner than I ever expected. 🙂

I’ll be leaving early Thursday!
