Enjoying the thread. I had a part time gig watching a work over rig 30+ years ago when the guy that had the job wanted to watch his son play basketball. I worked for the guy before when he owned a bowling alley/bar. It was easy money. I'd sit in a trailer, heat up my dinner I brought, and read a book. In the winter I'd have to start up the D8 and the rig engine every two hours and run them for 15 minutes. Worked out to the time between commercial breaks on the tv in the trailer.

Watching the guys work when they were running late, I can say they earned their money.

My younger sister worked for a fishing tool company for many years.
