Your Dominant Eye

Something cool that I learned last week:

1. Make a triangle with your hand (like Jay-Z would say "Hova")
2. Focus it on one item far away
3. Close each eye and the eye that the item is still focused on is your dominant eye!

This is mainly used for hunters who want to know which eye to aim and shoot the gun with, but just wanted to share because I thought it was really cool. I am right eye dominant.



Moving on, a lot of people hunt here. And eat exotic meats. I tried frog legs yesterday and they were alright. It was just the mentality that they were actual frogs that creeped me out a little. But I would try them again. My sister told me they call frogs "mountain chicken" and it's true. It's like chicken but slightly different. Next stop: alligators! And maybe deer...the engineers I work with love deer burgers and deer sausages. I like exploring and trying different things. When the chance comes, go do it!

Adults suck, then you are one

Grown up things that I could not have imagined myself doing a few months ago:

1. Moved into my own apartment
2. Got car insurance
3. Leased my 1st car - a 2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback in light blue.
   It's a beaut!
4. Learned how to fill my own gas
   (guess this falls under a non-New Jersey thing)
5. Enrolled in life insurance via company benefits

Is it just me or is life moving way too fast? I just turned 23 this past July but I'm still mistakenly telling people I'm 22 because I can't keep up!

I'm still enjoying the ride though. Work has been good! I am on shop lock-down because I have to go to Controls in Oklahoma City next week. So I will not go on any more jobs until I finish Controls. I think it's just my segment, Wireline, that has Field Engineer Trainees go through a process where I meet and interview with 5 different people to discuss company policies, management, tool theory, etc. It's so much studying! I thought I'd be done after PEPTEC... nope. Yet I'm appreciating being able to get the opportunity to hit the books while working. Usually people stop in college but I like how Schlumberger emphasizes being on top of your stuff. You have to in order to succeed! I think it's also because we also have people working under us. I still can't get used to that! Having my own operators who are older than me and more experienced.

Tomorrow I am driving to Tyler, TX to attend a 2 day interpretation class so I know how to read data from the logs. Going to new places excites me. I haven't been to Texas often so yay. And Oklahoma next week wahoo
