A St Patrick’s Day to Remember


Work in the office was quite slow this week, although we finally made it out to the field on Friday! We got to go to the Brisbane airport! We went out to check on the CPT rig and get site orientations before heading out to observe some drilling on Monday. We watched planes take off and land right next to us! We also had very exciting St Patrick’s Day! Unescorted by an Aussie, Jill and I decided to hit the town on a lively night. The night was full of surprises: a live band, a quick assault by a VERY drunk guy, I got punched in the head (it was a mistake and he apologized), drinks bought for both Jill and I by a true Irishman, and a fancy dinner bought for us by an Aussie bloke! The night (and the next day) was a success filled with laughter and fun! I am excited to get behind my first Australian drill rig on Monday after waiting for more than 4 weeks.
