It's official. On Friday afternoon I turned in my company laptop, ID Badge, and all my bright blue flame-retardant coveralls and was escorted out of the office on my official last day. I am no longer an oilfield worker!
I spent a lot of the weekend packing up my belongings and selling my furniture. Come Wednesday, I'll be piling all of my worldly belongings into my car and driving East. Then South. Then finally North (I'm taking the long way home).
I have to include this photo here. We had just finished our sprint-speed rig-down of all our equipment and were on the boat leaving the rig. At the time I had a hunch, which turned out to be true, that I would no longer be sent to a rig after turning in my letter of resignation, so this was to be my final farewell to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. My trainee, who knew I planned on quitting, was easily able to account for my wide smile.
Goodbye oilfield! Goodbye Louisiana! I'm sure you'll miss me!
