nope, it's usually under about 2 km of rock/soil/cities/people, stuff like that...we use well logs mostly, rock samples if we can get them, make cross sections, maps, recreate what was where, when, use that to interpret what 'might' be where we don't have any data yet (I look at a very long tubular piece of rock and see how the different pieces stack on top of each other, then put that together with nearby, similar stuff and come up with something like, At this point in time there was a beach here...! and old beaches often contain oil and gas!) We then convince management to give us a LOT of money bc we're right! then wait...and wait...and wait some more (this takes up to a year) then spend 36-48 hours on call while the hole is drilled and hope for the best in the end!

I've been doing this for just over two years now, and I LOVE it!

I'm a stay at home Mother. I work for two little treasures ages 2 and 3. I'm CEO of my company and so far it runs like a well oiled engine. . They are not teenagers yet either..lol..Honestly my main goal is to have two wonderful girls that have self respect and at the same time can respect others. I want them to be well grounded and have a good head on their shoulders when I'm not around. Compassion is high on our list too. I pride myself on being a good mommy and I hope that I pass some of these things along to my children. I'm so very proud of them already and I will always be proud of them regardless.

prairielilly

This is a really neat thread, finding out everyone's 'day job'

Sharkitty

Interesting stuff!

I specifically asked what people do with those 8 hours of their day because I know we have a lot of students and figured we also had stay at home moms and dads, too. I wouldn't want to imply that any of that isn't "work" and I want to know about it all! Hence the wide open nature of the query.

aquarist48

MissMTS

Sounds like great occupation to me

Lol Shawnie Tell me about it!


My husband tells me that I am an 80 year old in a 24 year old's body. Doesn't that make me sounds like fun Just because I like fish, and knitting, and crafts, and reading.... well okay maybe I am a little bit old at heart. So that means when I grow up I'm gonna be... even older

Shawnie

nope that means you are going to be a GREAT mommy with a ton of knowledge to share to whatever kids you all may have ( as well as a ton of fun to the kids you teach daily !!)

Sharkitty

Are you only 24, MissMTS?

MissMTS

Yup I turned 24 in March. I guess I even seem old on the forum

Thanks Shawnie My husband says he can see my maternal instincts coming out. But, nope, can't have kids yet until we are a little more settled. Can't wait though
