See? It really does say "VIP Room". Okay, it actually says "Pride VIP Room" which would be even cooler (I can take pride in the fact that I'm a VIP?) except for the fact that "Pride" is the name of the company that owns this rig.
But just so you have a taste for what a VIP Room actually looks like, please satisfy your curiosity with the following:
I checked yesterday and the television does NOT get the satellite channels. Which means that it does not get any channels. Broadcast doesn't quite reach out here in the middle of the gulf and through the signal-attenuating steel structure of the rig itself.
You can see my bed on the bottom left, piled up with laundry and every single blanket I could get my hands on. The outside temperature dropped a good fifteen degrees last night, and I had to bundle up extra tight in bed just to be comfortable enough to sleep.

Sorry, but it sound like "VIP" is a new abbreviation for "Very Improper Place." Be patient: you still have a roof over your head.
Good heavens! Looks like you don't get ocean views in this VIP place. If you are "important" I am glad you are in that room. It probably isn't much fun to be "ordinary" or "unimportant."
Views? We don't need no stinkin' Ocean Views! In fact, the darker the room (when the lights are off) the better. People are sleeping at all hours of the day on oil rigs, VIPs or no!
