Who else works away from home

Just wonder who all doesn't do the normal commute to work and from home kinda work. Most know I work in Nigeria 4wks there and then 4wks at home. I'm on a plane waiting to head there now just wondering

I normally work a few hours out of town, staying in hotels. I normally get the weekends home though.

I am changing up jobs where I will be going weekends to different places in the southwest and most likely spending the summers in Texas.

14 and 7's here ftmfw! right now working south of I10 and north of 59 between houston and San Antonio. Just got back to houston tonight (been up since 1 am) for my week off if thats wht you wana call it. Have to be in Corpus tomorrow for a meeting at 7am on thurs then its to austin thurs night-sunday get everything done at home Monday pack Tuesday and gone again come Wednesday at 4am. So not really much time off, i sleep in my own bed maybe 6-7 nights out of the month at the most but gota make that money! Im a Oil Rig mechanic BTW looking after 30 or so rigs right now and constantly growing.

I travel somewhere different just about every week during inspection seasons in the fall and spring. Two weeks ago I was in Billingsley, AL, last week in Kansas City, MO and this week I am in Dalton, GA. I am so sick of traveling right now.

I work all over the US and off shore. Ive been lucky enough lately to be able to pick and choose where I work, So been in south Tx for the last year and a half, and plan on staying here till it dries up. :) I usually spend 20+ days a month away.

You guys in S. Texas be careful. Gotta keep your head on a swivel from what I am hearing. Bad people coming up and doing bad things. :(

Been chasing drilling rigs since 94.. Out in west Texas now working 14&14. The drive sucks, but the time off is nice.

I work 7&7 offshore in California as a crane mech. It is the best schedule I have ever had. Just when the wife starts to get tired of me, I leave for a week!

Errm, if you count deployments, I enlisted in Sept 2004, Deployed from July '06-Mar '07, Oct '07-May '08, Oct '09-May '10, Oct '10-May '11. Had numerous 2 week-2 month long schools during my times home. I've successfully spent more time away from home with schools and deployments than I have at home. Wish it was more steady.
