This is my exact,same job... EXACTLY the same job!!! I'm 42yrs old... Basically,I'm an old man,workin' a young man's job!!! NOT GOOD!! But, that's alright. I've got the heart 'n' balls to pull it off.
This job is ranked,IIRC,as THE 3rd most dangerous job out there (right ahead of "ticket booth operator",j/k!!). Before that,I worked in the underground (2.5 mi) coal mines (17+ yrs). The 2nd most dangerous job...Right behind Alaskan crab fishing.
Yes,in the mines,I've been injured (Broken leg,hip,and foot>. <Roof fell in...Besides all the stitches/gashes,burns 'n' mashed fingers). Gas-drilling injuries??? Broken hand/finger (But?? Still worked!!),and,broken leg.... Again!!! Yeah,I'll straight-out brag!! I'm a red-neck!! Thru'n'thru,I'd fight Satan,right at the gates of hell!! Damn straight,bye-God.
Hell,the money's damn good. Over $65,000.00 a year....Damn,damn good,esp. for a "blue-collar" job!!. Especially,around these neck of the woods!!
