Working hard or hardly working?

Hola!
After almost a full month of hanging out in Villahermosa on the base I was finally allowed out into the real world. AKA, a drilling rig. Because I know how many people are curious about what I do and what it's like, I've taken some pictures to show the world. How am I doing so far? I'm loving it. Alright here we go.

My new temporary home. Note the two other rigs in the background. There's another one behind me too. This is how I see the rig 80% of the time because I work from 8 pm to 8 am.

Sunset! Best part of working the night shift is being awake for both sunset and sunrise everyday. It's absolutely beautiful. 

Home sweet trailer. That door is my room and behind me is another room and the bathroom. I'm proud to say I can scratch "Live in a trailer" off my bucket list. 

My room. Which I share with the other MWD. (A girl). I'm on nights and she's on days so we're never actually in there at the same time. Kinda like Clark Kent and Superman. 

My office. Kind of. On the right you can see the trailers and on the left are the mud tanks. They are awkwardly far from the rig (I think). This is what I look like 40 minutes after my 12 hour shift is over when they're sitting and circulating instead of making the damn connection so I can go to bed. 

And yes, I do make smurf blue look good. There's nothing I can do for the orange hardhat though.

Best part of working the night shift? Random wildlife. The rig is literally in the swamp, surrounded by water (except for the road) on all sides so I'm not entirely clear on where the cows come from or where they go during the day. Until I got a picture, I was almost convinced they were ghost cows. 

One major concern the last week or so has been flooding. It's the rainy season here, which means a lot of water randomly pours from the sky by the bucketful. This is not rain. It's like a fire hose. Note the boat parked in front of the houses. Two days prior to this, everyone was still in their houses. That was Friday. We're now anxiously awaiting the rain that hurricane Rina will bring in the next few days. 

That's about all for now. I apologize for grammar and spelling errors. It's 4:30am and even if I am adjusting, I'm still tired. (And I turned my spell check to Spanish) Thanks!
