Describes the lifestyle of a lot of oil field workers, too, from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi. YOU know that, but I thought I would point it out.
As well you should.
I did roustabout work for three summers back in the 70s, thanks to a Texaco program that allowed for hiring of employees's offspring for summer positions (no, my dad was not a wealthy executive, just a local "supervisory clerk", meaning that he kept, tallied, & reproted anything statistical, be it employee time reports, lease productions, anything like that) and yeah, the last thing I wanted to do after spending the day in 100 degree heat digging ditches, fixing pipeline leaks, swinging a sickle to get 10 foot tall weeds down to 1 foot and then mowing them, stuff like that, was to freakin' go exercise...
