All in a day's work

I've been out in the field yesterday and today (headed home tomorrow) waiting on a frac job to take place on one of my wells. Well, it's not MY well...it belongs to the company, but it falls under my watch, so I call it mine. This well also happens to be male. All of my other wells (over the past 6 years) have been female but for some odd reason I've taken to calling this well "him" or "he". Don't ask why, I'm really not sure and I find it slightly disturbing.

Over the course of today, I've managed to...

• Eat a balanced breakfast
• Log on to the internet and check my e-mail 189 times
• Revise cost estimates for submittal to management (tomorrow! can anyone say "procrastinator"?)
• Curse the hotel wi-fi 3892 times because it crashed on my 190th attempt to check my e-mail
• Go shopping at Wal-Mart for lunch and determine that their selection of dairy free, wheat free, yeast free microwave dinners sucks and is non-existent. I also got sidetracked in the baby aisle and bought an insane amount of new bathtub toys for my baby. Might I be missing my child???
• Eat microwaved sweet potatoes, black beans, and plantains for lunch (It was Kashi. It was interesting. I wouldn't recommend it.)
• Drive 60 miles today
• Stand on a location bossing 6 men around in regards to the next step on our newest well while looking up at all of them because I stand at a towering 5'1"
• Survey a new free-water knockout (that thing was AWESOME! It's h-u-g-e!)
• Walk the line on an environmental incident (not associated with my company) and then take video footage of it for our records
• Meet with a state agency rep
• Eat dinner at IHop
• Exchange 289 phone calls between 7:30 and 9:30 pm regarding our completion fluids and whether or not we'll actually do the job tomorrow that I traveled all the way out here for...which we aren't, so I'm headed home tomorrow.

This soooo beats any day at the office.
