Basically he lives in Danestone with his Mum and dad and works at Tesco.   Job pays his lodgings at home and his life is good as long as his mum lets him stay out after 9pm on the weekends.

Let's clarify something here

 

My work is all I've got. It's life and death, it's everything. I can't recreate that buzz when I leave there. I'm there when you're being told you've 4 months to live, I'm there when you need resuscitated, I'm there when you die, I'm even there in Post Mortem if you've died unexpectedly, I can't let it go. I've worked with the worst sex offenders in the country and murderers. And treated them like I would treat you or my mum. I don't even see my mum as much as I should, considering we live 100 feet apart. But when I go there with a pile of cards saying 'thank you *poodler* for making my husband/ wife/ son comfortable in their last days', or 'thank you for the opportunity to see my kids grow up', she knows I'm doing the right thing. Its cost me the only meaningful relationship I ever had because I just cant care about anything when I leave there. Day off, don't need to care, selfish behaviour incoming. I doubt I'll ever have a wife and kids because I'm shite at being reliable outside of work, my patients are my family. And I'm not saying I'm the best in the world at my job, I'm absolutely not. I'm just saying this is the ferocity with which it grips me. So I go thrill seeking. I abuse drink/ drugs and women as an easy comfort until it's back to doing real life again, real life being making a difference to those people in my care, regardless of personal opinion or prejudice. It's all I know how to do. I own property, car, the best guitars, holidays whenever I want. But as Mike Skinner said 'we came to this world with nothing, we leave with nothing but love, everything else is just borrowed'

 

I don't do it for the drugs. I do it because i have to.

 

 

Now where's that fucking cocaine

Hope to f*ck that's real cause it's the best post I've read on here.

Some days I love my job, some days it's a bind, but it always keeps me on my toes and can be interesting.

 

I would recommend it to others.

 

I'm lucky, I work in a room where we are all pretty close but I don't often socialise with them outwith - too busy with other stuff, not because I don't want to. Some folk in the organisation tools though.

Quite enjoy my job when I'm busy. A lot of project work so have quieter spells but enjoy it when things kick off. Don't intend on working for someone else my whole career though.

 

If it's an area that interests you it's fairly cushty.

 

Much like most places some folk are sound and others/most are knobs.

I’ve worked in O&G fir the last 27 years, 15 at service companies then the last 12 at Operators. All I can say is that it’s generally an industry blighted by arseholes who think they’re some sort of hero and not just a cunt helping to strip the planet of its natural resources.

The worst cunts by far are the limited company day rater tax cheats. These cunts spend they’re life projecting a lifestyle they can’t afford whilst having fortnightly trips to old Trafford & holidays in “doobers” almost all of them will have private registrations. On a positive note they’re are good rewards and flex fridays are good but we’re not saving lives in O&G and cunts should act accordingly.

 

The advice I would give about work to our younger posters is that it should never define you. No cunt speaks about what a person did work wise at a funeral so put family, friends and most of all being happy first.

 

 

Nowhere will you find the statue of a critic or the biography of a committee.

Do you mostly like or mostly dislike your job? Or generally sit on the fence?



Sit on the fence. Wouldn't say I give that much of a fuck as long as I get paid on time. Work has never defined me and I wouldn't say I was that ambitious. Just want to not worry about paying bills and having enough cash to have a beer and look after the missus and kids.



Would you recommend your job to others?



No, it's changed a lot over the years



Do you generally like your colleagues?



Some, yeah. Can't be arsed with 'gossip', who gives a fuck. Try to keep work and home completely separate entities.

Been in oil and gas 11 years now. Did an ECITB apprenticeship and then started straight after college as an apprentice tech. Did 2 years further training as an apprentice then a further 4 years offshore as core crew (2/3 rota).

 

Then got approached by a competitor to move into the office as an engineer, and been doing that 5 years now.

 

I enjoy the actual job in general. Get occasional trips away offshore and keeps my brain ticking over. Its the only trade Ive ever worked in so I know no better. At the moment Im on a shit project and based in a client office so dont enjoy it particularly right now but that will change soon I hope.

 

I get on great with the guys from my company/department. Lots of nights out and we all get on. Not so much in the office Im currently based in.

 

Id recommend both the apprenticeship I completed and the trade I currently work in. Has given me a comfortable lifestyle. Allowed me to buy property and go nice holidays etc without ever really struggling. And its enjoyable enough.

Ya boy is deep in the game. It's a lifestyle, not a job. Ole Criptank can't just go back to the crib with some sweet pussy, give her the night of her life and just chill. My corners are always my priority.

 

Yeah ya boy makes stacks and he makes it look easy but I have to keep one step ahead of haters and 5-0 ya feel me?. You muthafuckas complain about colleagues, shit, you've not got faggot asses messing up the count or coming up short. That's where my management skills, helped by a .357, come in. When your business decisions can mean life or death, then you'll be in Criptank's world.

People, that is some very sentimental feelings. CripTank concurs and is in the same position.

 

I am currently heavily involved in a project.It's a lifestyle, not a job. I cannot just go home and swtich off with a female and relax. My designated work area is my main focus.

 

I make very good money and make it appear very easy but unfortunately due to my nature of business I have to stay one step ahead of the authorities, understand? You guys complain about fellow employees, I don't agree with that. You've not got homosuexuals interfering with specific areas of my business which potentially could result in a loss of profits. That's where my management skills, helped by a loaded weapon come in. When your business decisions can mean life or death, then you'll be in Criptank's world.

I like my Job, it really really satisfies me, its taken me all over the world and into some real shitty destinations but I've quite enjoyed it.

 

I wouldn't recommend it to everyone as it takes a special kind of person to do this, being away for weeks on end with fucking assholes that think they are above everyone because they have a range rover a boat and 12 fucking motorbikes Fuck them but I've met some fucking sound as fuck cunts too, people from all sorts of back grounds (Mainly Asian and African) very very friendly i must say

 

Fuck going out with my colleagues my mates are far too fucking cool to be introduced to those dickheads

 

Forgot to Add - @@Poodler that post was fucking beautiful man
