Thank goodness it's the weekend!
Nov. 5th, 2011 10:41 amLast week was really rough. After 13-14 hour days Mon-Thurs, I nearly quit on Friday when they sent us to do a really frustrating well decommission, and said that if we don't get it done that afternoon, we'd have to come back on Saturday. My field partner and I were livid, and while I can't say it was the best well decommission job out there, it got done in a few hours.
Sadly, at the expense of me getting hurt. I was frustrated and annoyed, and when the shovel I'd leaned against the van started to slide, I automatically lunged for it. At the same time, the pick handle that was also leaning against the van fell towards me, and I managed to catch it hard against my ribs just under my breast. GOD did that ever hurt. I was concerned that I'd broken a rib at first, but it's just bruised. Knocked the air from me, though, and combined with my frustration, I was a blubbering mess for a while.
It's pretty sore today, but I'm fine with that. Better than having to work today!
