Fooled them again

I made it through my first day back. And as my good Newfie friend says (we fooled the again). Its no secret that most people here are from down east. Other than missing my family a lot you quickly become part of a different family here. In turn this makes the stay palatable. When you first arrive on these types of sites you must be oriented which includes a few short safety courses that you have to attend. It is during these sessions that you start to meet the people that become part of this family away from home. There is a varied amount of structure here. This includes getting to the cafeteria at the allotted times and getting the right school bus to work. Yes I did say school bus. The nice thing is that everybody sort of watches your back. If somebody can help they will. You learn to get around pretty quickly and make friends fast. There is no place for big heads here.If for some strange reason you can't get along with somebody you just ignore them. If you get into a squabble or fight chances are you will be fired. It is really that simple. They have us here to work and they don't mess around. It is not unusual to see a garbage can full of hard hats. I call it a cleansing because if they don't see a group of people working out SEE YA! Or the most famous TO THE GATE!
