So a little about me...

I'm Jeff and I'm from Western Canada...the good part, Northern BC and Alberta. I'm just normal oilfield trash that got interested in blogging. Can't say I am the most prolific or timely, but if I have something to say I usually will...So anyway this is just a look through my eyes once in a while...I don't claim to be right, but I'll never be left.

Me I'm stupid,
It's all I ever wanted to be,

Shock me again and I'll say,
Anything you want me to"

Rednecks, meth-heads,thieves...and dumbasses

I don't know what's going on lately, maybe I just notice more, maybe things just piss me off more. But I have been noticing a general lack of basic respect in our society. It can be anything from getting cut off on the highway to kids that don't hold open doors anymore. ..and they seem to think that I want to listen to what they are playing on their car stereo... and I seem to be on the list of people they think needs to hear the new (or missing) muffler they have just installed (or taken off) the shit box they drive.

Its not just the kids don't get me wrong, although I do find it interesting that BC makes them easy to spot by placing a mandatory "L" for loser on the car they drive. No its also the small genitalia rednecks that think I'm impressed they spent thousands to lift a pick-up, chip it and throw on an aftermarket mating call brand pipe. I have come to the conclusion they are over-compensating for what they lack in the pants department, it's the only answer that makes sense.
I have been staying out on random nights after the crew leaves...the redneck, no-respect, methhead, useless, unemployed, piece-of-shit thieves seem to have found out that sitting equipment at night is an easy score for fuel theft. I don't know why I stay out late, it's not my equipment. In reality their thievery barely affects me at all, it just makes me angry that some work and make good while others feed off that success by stealing.....so I shut the lights off, crack a window and wait with my camera ready.
Today proved to me that people can't be trusted to do the right thing. The survey crew I have out doing work said they had seen snowmobile tracks inside one of our frac water pits. This is unbelievably dangerous as well as reckless vandalism costing the oil company money. I have had the contractor send out a crew of labourers to chain and lock the barbed wire fences and put up danger and no trespassing signs up. It may get more expensive yet as I was also told that it took that dumbass snowmobiler several attempts to get back out of the pit, time will tell if they have ripped the liner...it only cost $95,000 to install.
