Former bean counter in the industry. Now working on the IT side of the bean counter software for the industry.

Good Times!!

I work for a drilling fluids company

[MarchHare]

I work in IT at SAIT...some of the students and instructors I support study oil/gas/energy subjects, though.

I work for a drafting company that does structural steel detailing. We work on some of the larger industrial work out of Fort Mac, but I'm someone who can easily be outsourced to India or China for 75 cents a week, so the result is that my pay is half of what it used to be. I need to figure out how to get more hands on in the construction process so that I can stop being so poor. Or quit my job and do something else once my wife finally joins the work force again.

I write radio commercials for oil patch companies. Does that count?

23,000 km of casing was put into the ground in Alberta last year, damn rights you should be getting into the oilpatch, and that doesn't include pipelines.

23000 km of casing... hmmm, then I'd guess I probably wrote cementing programs for about 5000 km last year.

Not a bad business to be in these days.

Well I'm usually involved when those programs go to shinguard. 50% EXCESS MINIMUM!!!! :P [/b][/quote]
Always happy to oblige if it means we sell more cement... (but honestly, if you buy our latest super-duper thixodivertocement blend for 400% of the price, you can get away with 30% excess) :P
