Holy shit, you spend a lot of time working out, good for you. It must be nice to see the rewards of your efforts. :)

I've only started this job...I'm working as a project administrator for an oil sands project. It's a different set up: we work 14-12 hour days straight and live in a camp, then go home for 14 days. I work 6,000 kms from home. So I basically work the same # of hours in a month as most, but I jam it into 2 weeks.

Well I'm generally an early bird so I don't like to sit around when I wake up, so I go for a swim or a run... and we have a gym built into where I work so I have no excuse but to go every evening as it's right underneath me :p

Wow, your job sounds difficult... both physically and mentally draining! Must be hard being away from home for so long? It must be a Canadian thing because my Dad is Canadian and he basically does 12 months work in 6 months... he works away from home, on oil rigs in the middle of the ocean for like 12 hours a day and he's out there for a month at a time! Sounds pretty similar to what you do :) plus your both from Canada, haha!

You sure he's in the ocean and not here at an oil sands, lol, sounds exactly like us. Wouldn't THAT be funny.

I find this life interesting, right now. It's only my 2nd rotation, so far so good. :)

I'm an early bird too and I try to tell myself that with the 3 hour time difference 3 a.m. is just like 6 a.m. at home and that's not too early for me, actually that's the normal time I wake up (so I should be able to get my ass out of bed and hit the gym)...but my old aching body tells me differently, lol.

Nah, he definitely works on the actual oil rigs in the ocean. But obviously his accommodation is back on land! He's an engineer or something, so he fixes the big machines when they break day or encounter a fault of some sort! I don't see my family enough to know exactly what he does :p I live 4000 miles away from my family here in the UK! It's not like I even go back and visit every so often. I've gone years without seeing my family, haha!

Your only as old as you feel, and if your able to get up at 3am and attempt to hit the gym then I think your still young at heart!

Where abouts in the world are you based for work at the moment? Just to make sure your not working near/with my dad, cause that would be freaky.

I've always wondered how peeps who can't forgive are able get through with life knowing they've hurt people on their paths with unforgiveness and pride.

I'm glad it's Thursday, and the wench is taking tomorrow off. Could be a good end of the week.
