WTF? you know I dont know shite about the patch, but I $$$

Damn they are up to $35 for worms in West Texas now? Or are you factoring in benefits, safety pay, bottomhole etc?

$35/hr is bottom wage in West Texas. Shit Pizza Hut is advertising Pizza Delivery Boy at $20/hr + tips.

Labor is short. All you pussies from Ohio quit complaining about loosing your jobs and get down there.

Not a common one, maybe regional. Western slope they are called riggers.

Lol. I am from Colorado.

In my 7 years in the patch Colorado has always paid higher than W. Texas. I do enjoy the accident reports from W. Texas, since they make up the majority.

Labor is short everywhere in the patch. Would be fun to drill a different basin though.

I think working on an oil rig would be fun. I worked on a boat in Alaska quite a few years ago, in some way I miss that hard ass work.

Yeah - but there is no big city to pull from in West Texas now. Dallas has their own boom goin on in the Barnette. Houston boys go offshore.

West Texas is pulling from McDonalds. Poor restaurant owners are screwed. You go to McDonalds in Midland Texas and order a Bigmac and you get a fish sandwich - you be happy. That is close as it is going to get.
