Just wondering who all has to work on xmas. I work in the oil fields and there is no such thing as holidays. Gotta keep the oil moving so we have fuel for our toys.

48 hours straight through on Xmas eve and Xmas day. Work at a fire department, our station sees an average of 28 calls a day.


All the best, James
I know EXACTLY how you feel...

Let's all give a shout out and thanks to the unsung heros that are working tommorow and everyday that make life a little easier. A lot of people have thankless jobs that have to get done no matter what. Your snowplow driver. Someone at the wastewater plant making sure the muffin munchers going. The water plant operator checkin quality. The utility workers making sure we have heat and power. The telephone, TV and Internet people. The truck drivers. Hey the list goes on. These and many more do there jobs daily so we can have the lifestyle we live. Thanks all!!
After 15 years in my old job in public works you learn to really respect and give thanks.

Oil field trash here and this is my first Christmas off in about 7 years. To all those who have to work, have the merriest Christmas when you get to have it. One son is a tool pusher and is working this hitch through till next week, the other had to go to San Diego to have Christmas with his kids.:sad: so me and Maw will have our special day when everyone gets back together.

It is nice to be home for Christmas for a change.....first Christmas since moving to the office from the field so it feels a little weird to be home for the holidays :rofl3: Hopefully everyone keeps it turning to the right!
