$800 a day,isn't enough money to make me even think about being somebodys full time toby.I know a few guys that went out to the patch with money signs in there eye's,yes they made lots of money and where are they now alcoholics and coke heads,but there still in the patch and thats all that matters to them.It's a shame because some of those guys were really good guys before they went to the patch,now when you talk to them it's like talking to a shell and their minds are fried.Yup good thing they made all that money so they can enjoy retirement,to bad a lot of them won't enjoy retirement because they will be dead!!

Talked with a picker operator today, asked him why he had no swamper...he says o he went home a few days ago but for what their paying me thats ok I can climb off and hitch the lines myself. He makes $1400/day.

Drugs & booze are not prevalent with the guys I work with. These guys have nice vehicles, buy themselves what ever toys they like. 2 guys just bought new Harleys. Just got word we will now have to do drug testing to keep Encana happy...no one at the shop was concerned at all.

Kind of strange to be in a shop where at pay day they all stand around and cant wipe the smiles of their faces.
