A Wednesday Morn'

Helloooo!!
First off, I really enjoyed getting your email today. It was the perfect size, length, and gave me all the information I want, but forget to ask you when we talk. We have had a crazy two days of crisises, confrontations, and issues, here on the rig, so I have thought of some things I wanted to tell you.

- Until stuff goes wrong, men (and women too, I guess, though I don't work with any) are genial, happy, and willing to work together.

- The second something goes wrong, common decency, respect, and patience are replaced by intolerance, anger, and yelling.

- I don't care if you are angry. Saying nasty racist things, swearing, and yelling; none of thes are a good way to deal with the fact that your life is stressful. If you can't take a stressful life, walk away.

- Angry men are alternatively ridiculously funny to watch, and scary to be around.

- I hope that when I am under stress, I will react the way a Christian should react.

On other notes :

- I am a pro at watching for rattlesnakes whilst running.

- They found a rattlesnake on the pad yesterday!!

- We might be done with this well in 2 or 3 days!

- My excitement is not because I can't stand not being here, or I am super tired of the job, but rather, because I have a huge project waiting for me that I haven't been able to get very much done on yet!

- My internship is a little over half over. It has been an incredible experience so far.

- I want to make Monster Cookies!!!

- Men on a rig have WAY more drama than women in a sorority or women's scholarship house ever had.

- I slept yesterday for 5 hours in a trailer that had lost AC in 110 degree heat. It was...an experience. :D

- We have beautiful sunsets and sunrises here.

I love you.

Becca
