day two( mid day break)

S0 except for order days we usually get a two hour break. but all depends how much work we gotta do.
today were ahead so im on breal. sitting in my bunk listening to chopteres coming in. thney are bring in pre made structures on chains for living quartes  which are  24 by 12 aprox? made of wood,  next weeek there will be 120 workers and not enough room for them all, right now were sitting at about 96? ish .
food, food food. ,man these drillers eat food the average camp will order in aprox 100 lb of food per person per week, thats 12000 lb offood next week. crazy stuff. although we do here get food brought in twice aweek  monday and thursday thats when new people arrive and people leave as well. .
 so i work 9-9 dont have to worry abou breakfast.  today for lunch,  two different soups,  3-4 salads. a starch vegetable and two mains. today for lunch was chicken parmesan and mac and cheese.
there is no spare of exspence here these guys can have all they want. there are snack and sandwich stations. i will be taking pictures and attaching them soon. 
i have to be careful to what i say and attach as i am under oath not to give cocordinates to where i work and there drills etc. THIS IS BIG MONEY. and they protect what they have. i work in gooselake but when you google it it is nowhere near here.
i miss my boy an awful lot. to be honest i try not to think about it alot and stay focused on what i have to do. i love my little family so very much and i know they are safe, and thats all i need to know.
i know im gonna like this type of work especially when i get my own smaller camp.
but when im home for my two weeks there is gonna be some super uninterupeted lovin of the family going on.
