A little time after that, I realized that I had gotten into a bad groove that scared me... my mentor had literally died of a heart attack during that project. I took a month off after that.

WoW

Leaving work now, just did 10.75 today

I’m liking the OT while it’s offered, but don’t want to keel over doing it

There might be some extreme case where you work most of the day but engineers offshore aren’t making $2,000 a day. At least not in the US. Offshore Africa with hazard uplift, maybe.

My wife worked for WPX as an office manager. Almost $200,000 year. My wife seen the payrolls. Wife's cousin's husband in Colorado said he's making $2000 a day on a gas rig. Good friend is a senior engineer for WPX. Said he's north of $2,500 a day. Gas drilling in the north east is paying big bucks.

Maybe a couple isolated locations that happens but that’s not the typical market.
