Anika:
That sounds interesting. What a great story that could make!!! I'll bet you'll make lots of money too!

I know what you mean about people with no sense of humor :roll: talk about dullsville! I hate people like that!!!

Oh, also I wanted to warn you about the Zoloft. It is a powerful and effective drug that can make you feel GREAT but when you go to get off of it WEAN yourself off!!! DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY!!! I failed to listen to the advise of my doctor on that one and a few days after I stopped taking it I had an emotional breakdown in a big way!!! My BF also had a similar experience. The doctors say that it is nonaddictive, but you seriously need to taper down the amount to allow your body to adjust to the withdrawl!!!

Hi Anika,

Yes maybe I could do an article about a woman working on an offshore drilling rig and get it published.  Like you, I'm an adventurous spirit willing to take risks and open to new experiences.

Thanks for the advice about the Zoloft.  I hope it works for me and I can stay on it.

Hi folks,

just a little update.

i got a job working offshore as a utilities hand for a catering company and received training for 2 days and am going to work on a semi-submersible oil drilling rig in the Gulf.

this is totally opposite of my last job-legal secretary, and already the decision to do an about face is the best housecleaning for my head and heart!!!

a 58 year old woman was hired as a cook and is going to ride with me.  she never has been offshore either, and has never ridden in a helicopter.  today we had swimming survival training and it was the first time she was in water in 35 years!

so i'm making new friends and things are falling into place, and my 18 yr. ol son, who has been too dependent on me, has also done an about face and surprised me by suddenly taking upon himself the responsibilities of the household and is enjoying having the house to himself.

so this is just what the doctor ordered, and the most fun i've had in 3 years!
