Another rant, but of a different kind

Crystal, for a little more privacy, I am stealing your idea of calling my husband my the first letter of his name. I hope you don't mind.

So G is having a little bit of trouble at work. One guy has already quit so now they are working 5 on 3 off. While that sounds better then an ordinary workers week, all shifts are 12 hours and rotate between days and nights. He is now working 60 hours a week.

Anyway, the reason the one guy quit was because he was moving to another job, but on the same site. He had to have a urine test done to see of there was any drugs in his urine, and he failed. Now he is no longer allowed on the job site. Now the head guy (not G's boss, but the guy above him) is insisting all of the guys have urine tests, and as it sits right now, G will probably be the only one with clean urine.

I just found out G works with guy like that. How safe is that? Some of the guys come to work high and they work with equipment that puts your life in danger everyday. So not only are they risking their own lives, but they are risking my husbands as well. One of the guys has even been doing it at work! What you do on your own time, whatever, but at work, come on!!

So needless to say, I am a bit frustrated. G is starting to feel like, "Is this they way the rest if my life is going to be like in the oilfield?" Maybe we should both go back to school again. G would really like that. He isn't much of a school man. He did his share and I probably wouldn't be able to force his back in for anything.
