Been a long while, very bored today so I figured I'd drift through and agitate the usual suspects. I see they are mostly still here.

:cool:
hey, good to hear from you. Whats new in your corner of the world?
Left IT in spring 2015. Burnt out, pissed off at the world hated life and heavily medicated.
Took up industrial safety and firefighting in the oil patch. Had about enough of the BS in the 'patch and trying to go back to IT. Unpaid travel, overtime, 16 hour days, weeks on end away from home etc. It's just not worth what they are paying to be away from my family this much.
Have a 2 year old son, and a sibling on the way in November. Still trying to do the volunteer fire thing. Etc.
Just count yourself lucky that you aren't one of those guys who went to work in the patch right out of high school, so you have other skills. My neck of the prairie is covered up in twenty somethings wondering what they are going to do with a house and a $70,000+ pickup, a boat, and their ATVs now that times are really lean.
