This, my friends, is the down side of the pipeline business. Chet and I haven't worked since December 16, 2010. Chet is getting unemployment from Minnesota, but it's only 550$ a week. And with fuel being sky high, I've stopped going to the learning center in Tulsa with him. It was not cost effective for me to go for a few hours and watch him heli-arc.
Unlike with stick rob, I don't have anything to do. No heat to manage, no rods to hand him, Not even anything to buff. So I've been a regular housewife. So boring. The RV park we are at only has 3 other cool sets of people living here. The rest are just trashy punk asses. I'm not referring to their living quarters, I mean the way they behave. Catty, snooty, and with out class. They have dogs chained to trees for heaven's sake! Way to bring down a RV park.
Back to the money issue. So we have been unemployed now for a little over 4 months. With no promises of work till late May or June. And to top it all off, we have a 780$ truck note. That's a big chunk of change. And let's not forget that diesel is 3.89$ here (we are in Tulsa). Food prices are going up constantly, and let's not forget the other bills we have 300$ for rent, 300$ phone bill, and then Chet's tobacco. Thanks to our family I know we won't starve to death. But it's a bitch to have to ask for money. I'm 23 and Chet is 33. Neither of us have lived with our family since we were 18. Pride is a bitch. I hope the work kicks off soon...
