| Publisher Description: Imagine you're eighteen. You've just graduated from a classy boarding school; and, in the fall you'll be enrolling in a major university; you view yourself correctly as a BMOC, and a true "Stud Monkey" The whole summer lies before you. Then one day you hit the wall...Hard! You awake to a job working in a steaming hot environment; a job that strains every muscle in your body and leaves you racked in pain each night, a job that lasts 12-hours each and every day. And, where everyone views you as "Mr. College-Kid", that is rather ..."Mr. No-Nothing, College-Kid". Instead of being an idol you're an idiot. And if all that's not bad enough, you not only work with these old guys every day. You live with them 24/7 How can this be happening? Look no further than your own household. Look to your dad who sees you as spoiled and rotten and whose paternal instincts guide him into the proper decision that you need to get a taste of real life. If this is real life, you surmise...then you want to die...NOW!, Follow the young man as he struggles to fit in into a world where he is the brunt of humor that keeps his whole crew laughing except him. Perseverance teaches him what he needs to know about give and take, and how to be accepted into the ranks of the blue collar world of oilmen, pushers. drillers, derrick-hands. roughnecks, welders. mechanics and the lowly roustabouts. Join along on his journey |
