Hey Oilfield Guys!!

[JTRichardson]

You're living life on the edge!

Yep. Looks promising. Quite a few are still saying it'll bottom between $30-$40 by the end of this quarter but won't stay there long. Hoping to get my full pay back by May or June. Hang in there fellers. Won't be long.

I made a hand today. Prayers for all y'all that are directly affected.

What does it mean to make a hand?

[boy wonder]

My daughter has two friends, one expecting and another was in the process of buying their first home. Both husbands have been laid off. Let's all say a prayer for the folks impacted by this downturn.

Oilfield talk for being a tough, cool guy

Incorrect! To make a hand means to be an exceptional employee, to do what is expected and then some, withou having to be told or someone having to wait on you to do your job so that they can do theirs.
In the oilfield there are a lot of jobs that require more than one person to complete a task, if one person isn't performing, someone else has to work that much harder to makeup for their shortcoming.

Gotcha. I've heard the phrase before, but wasn't quite sure what it meant.
