Brillant!

HOWEVER, there are 2 very tidy Lithuanians on here right now!

You get some of the usual 'workshop' mentality on board with some arrogant tw@ts thinking they own the rig and have no mannors. I just look and laugh at them in their own sad little world and cheer myself up that I'm not like them. Even better when they don't understand your local dialect. PMSL!

I've been on platform with good comms, but one right now is utter sh!te! 1 computer for 100 ppl and the mouse is now fooked and I've had to change the control to the keyboard! Also only 1 phone line for service companies and 1 for drilling crew. They have to collect call all of their calls, but I get on with all the radio crew so get to use the service business phone to call home.
They have wireless, but most IT companies of the service companies have blocked getting access to the wireness network!!!!

Oh, and the power has been cut numerous times over the past 2 days! That means delays to runnig the completion!!!! Shocking condition even thinking how much the rig is costing per day ($206K for this one)

As for the jobs, if your not fussed which company you would work for, then send your CV into every drilling contractor (GSF, Noble, etc) there are LOADS out there. Just do a search online.
As an interviewer, get as much mechanical skills on that CV as possible & promote all of your other skills. Create a CV based on the job you are applying for - don't just create one CV for any job.

Funnily, I hear Mud Engineers have an easy time - this one on board just reads mags, books and surf's the net all day!!! Easy money did you say!!!
