Fun fact. She is apparently one of the top selling artists ever and doesn't tour.
I have a good friend that worked on a rig and I don't know that I could have done that job. Crazy.
Didn't know she never toured thanks for that bit of info. Yep it's not a line of work for most
You almost gotta be married to that line of work. 9 months or more living on the water
I was lucky to be on land 5 day's a month.
Now the money was awesome, you get feed very well. There is a Lot of Traveling by car, Crew boat and a lot of flying mostly Helicopter, some not much by Jet. If you where overseas yeah Jet a lot also. From the Moment you land it's balls to the walls up at 4:30 am every day and no less than 14 hours a day. Thing is you sleep in Living quarters you share bathrooms mostly two showers between anywhere's 30 + men so your lucky to hit your bunkbed by midnight. Now there are Production platforms that are Huge. Shell Oil, Exxon mobile, Chevron Texaco and so on all have very huge platforms out in the Gulf. If you get a chance google Shells deep water Production platform Perdido or the Auger. There are women that work out in the Gulf mostly cooks and Galley hands B and R hands. Some Company women. What's it like to stay out for 14 + days out there? Think getting locked up in jail you just get feed much better and when you do fly in your bank account is very fat. Thing is you don't have much time to spend your earnings. You have maybe 7 days home at most each month thing about that your Traveling one day to come in and one day to go back out so now you down to just 5 days off out of those 5 days in your sleeping no less than two days to catch up rest. So 3 days to yourself, If your lucky you don't get a call to turn around while your headed home to fly back out which happened a lot to me. I didn't have time for anything, most years I lived out of Hotels when I'd get in made better sense with just a few day's on land a month. Spent a lot of money on Escort ladies, think rent-a-woman.
you would be Surprised how many very nice looking women and I mean young to old ages from 18 to 60 that are Escort women in that line of work. Umm yeah call girls also, they work the clubs and Gambling casinos. If I hadn't blew out my left knee I more than likely would still be in that line of work. Loved the money made, and of course the hot lady's.
PS, one last thing, yeah you had to deal with Death. I lost two friends to that line of work. Very bad things happen at a moments notice. I alone have had two Near death miss. I got up one morning we where in our morning safety meeting and the Galley hand couldn't wake up one of the Riggers yep he was dead, Died in his sleep.
Found out drug overdose killed him.
