Unless the iron had in internal defect (as opposed to washed-out, which should be duly inspected and replaced) such things are never just an accident; usually only inattention/carelessness can expain it.

The only time the ground operator should be near the wellhead is when opening or closing valves.

Like I said...

But absolutely, though shit happens, it has a way of happening a whole lot more often to people who ignore or take shortcuts on safety procedures, and "Shit happens" doesn't absolve whoever screwed up of responsibility.

Well DUH!

There's a difference between that which must be pursued vs that which is just lying around.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Speaking of BobboPink, a homeless shelter in Dallas had volunteers giving 'makeovers' to homeless women. This merited a photo on the front of the Metro section along with an article. At least I hope it wasn't the front page.

Seems like we've been seeing quite a rash of DUmmie women finally realizing that their DUmmie men are worthless bags of crap. I used to think that most women had a judgment issue when it came to choosing men, but over the years I have come to realize that it is mostly liberal women who have this problem.

That is why I am proud to become a Navy wife next month. My conservative man has one hell of a work ethic (and is not bad looking either) and is proud to serve the good people of this country.
Of course the transition from active duty to dependent wife is going to be interesting for me. :o

Good Job! Hope yours turns out as successful as mine. Me and "Toots" have kept it together for 36 years!!!!!!!!

and I'm pretty damn proud of it! She's still the "Apple of my Eye"!

I must confess I've had numerous career incarnations myself.

My longest career was in the restaurant business which started tending bars in fine Italian diners and culminated in a 3 and a half year stint as a manager.

After that I went to the wonderful world of banking. Nice hours but the wages were crap.

From there I was spied by a mortgage broker and asked to become his loan processor. The guy was a crook, dirty as the day is long and a liberal...typical of the whole CRA debacle.

Then I went to a fine art company as warehouse help and by the end of the first week I was logistics manager. I loved that job. I've held original Salvador Dalis and Rockwells and Alexandra Nikitas etc. Alas, their inventory was out of control and I fought the sales director day and night to figure out what they owned vs what they owed. He refused and ultimately fired me over the protests of the owner....2 months later the company was tits-up.

I came out to Colorado and started with Halliburton. The hours are long, the work gruelling and hazardous, the conditions are miserable...

...but I genuinely love my job. I work with my hands but there's plenty of brain candy to keep the mind busy and your team becomes more than a team. If not for Nat'l Guard committments in 2 weeks I would be going to Montana with them for 3 weeks and I'm actually depressed I'm not going. I tried very hard in my early life to live up to my family's expectations of being white-collar but I've always been miserable and hated going to work every day. I dare say nowadays...I'm happy. My only complaint in life is my shoulder is holding me back from working as hard as I would like to.

Nonetheless I've always stayed employed. It took a long time to find my niche; hopefully the OP's husband will too. Yet the money hatin libs seem very materialistic about whom to spread their legs for.

Good post.

Not laid off. Fired.

All through the years we have been together he has usually never managed to keep a job longer than 6 months.

I really don't want to do this anymore. We were barely getting by as it is. Actually, I CAN'T do this anymore. The last time he pulled a stunt like this was about 2 years ago and I was able to work 6 days a week 10 hrs a day for about 18 months to make up the difference while he piddled away at a part time job he slacking for about 2 days a week or so. I also peddled my plasma at one of those vampire places. That type of overtime just isn't available anymore even if I were inclined to do it and I absolutely refuse to pimp my bodily fluids again.

If I had a little money set aside I would be already looking for an apartment on my own.

As it is both of our 200K mileage plus cars are in the shop with no real prospect of getting them fixed anytime soon...especially now. We are currently borrowing a friends car for $10 a day.

I feel like a trapped animal and I hate it.

Thanks for reading to the end of this self-indulgent vent. It feels a little better to just hint at what I know in my heart I need to do for my own dignity and sanity. I just have no idea how on earth I am going to go about doing it at this point.

Thanks ahead for the vibes I know will be sent my way.

I have somehow missed this post until today. Several things in it caught my eye.

First, this one claims to work. Second, this one claims to have friends. Finally, this one claims to have dignity and sanity.

In other news I have a cat that barks.
