Q: Most oil rig crews, both onshore and offshore, work grueling 12-hour shifts. Rotations vary, but most companies keep crews on site for two weeks and then give workers two weeks off. Entry-level oil rig jobs are physically taxing. Most involve moving supplies and heavy equipment, like drill pipes. This kind of work requires a level of strength and endurance that other jobs might not. Oil rigs are often located in places with extreme weather conditions. Offshore and onshore rigs offer distinct challenges. Onshore rigs. Most oilfields in the United States are in the unforgiving climate of the Southwest, where summertime temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees F (37.7 C). Drilling in the petroleum-rich fields of Canada reaches full capacity during the bitterly cold winter months, when the frozen ground is better able to withstand heavy equipment and exploration procedures. Offshore rigs. Workers on offshore oil rigs are at the mercy of the elements, too. North Sea platforms are battered year-round by strong winds and unyielding waves. Rigs dotting the U.S. coastline in the Gulf of Mexico are on alert during the hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). The contents of an oil well are under extreme pressure, but that's only part of the danger rig workers face daily. Cranes are constantly moving massive sections of pipe across the platform. Highly combustible gases are used in everyday operations that include welding and pipe-cutting. All of these aspects of oil rigs constitute a fairly constant level of danger that requires workers to be on guard and prepared to handle emergency situations.
A: Decide if you are capable of working long shifts. Prepare for the physical labor aspects of the job. Research the weather conditions at your possible oil rig job. Decide if you can manage the aspects of physical danger.

Q: PST stands for Personal Storage Tables. When they get too big they often get corrupted, leading to errors. They can, however, be fixed. It isn't incredibly difficult, but you still want to make sure the other two methods didn't work first. They are simpler and less invasive. That said, using a PST repair program is not very difficult, and is generally safe. Even better, Microsoft bundles a repair program right with Outlook called Inbox Repair. For Windows Users, you may have a program called "Scanpst.exe" that will do this for you. For Mac users, you may not have the option to use Scanpst. In this case, you must go search online to download an "Outlook PST Repair" program. Sites like CNET have Outlook PST Repair programs for free. Scanpst is sometimes hidden. To find it, copy the following into a search bar: Program Files\Microsoft Office\. Then click OFFICE and scroll to Scanpst. Head back to the Account Settings (either through Tools or File Info) and click on the tab labeled "Data Files." You'll see a list of all your email address. Click the one with the issue and then select the button "Open File Location." This will open a window showing your .pst file on your computer.\ Remember this location on your computer -- you'll need it later. Now that you know where it is, click on "Browse" or "Load PST" and cue up your Outlook file. On some programs, you may be able to just click and drag it over from your old file. The first step is a scan of your PST files. More likely than not, it will then offer to repair them. Click "Repair" to fix up your old file, which should prevent any further issues. Repair will automatically create a backup of the PST file, so don't worry about losing old data. Once you've repaired your old file, simply drop it next to the old one. Remove the broken file, putting it in a new, separate folder for safe keeping in case something went wrong. If you're having trouble syncing up the new file, simply return to the "Data Files" screen in Account Settings. From there, you'll find the button "Add File" on the left-hand side. Click it to add your new PST file. Leave the folder containing your PST files open while working. This will make it much easier to find later on.
A: Try the previous two methods before attempting a PST fix. Open your PST repair program. Open Outlook to find the location of your PST files. Return to your PST repair program and locate the .pst file you just found. Hit "Start" and follow the on-screen instructions. Open Outlook with the new PST file.

Q: Leave a little extra room on the fiberglass gives you a little wiggle room and helps ensure the hole is fully covered. These mesh patches provide an area to place epoxy across the hole of the plastic. Fiberglass patches can be purchased at hardware stores or online. Use a stirring stick to mix the even parts of the epoxy in a bucket or large mixing bowl. A two-part epoxy has a resin and an activator that need to be mixed together to cure. Once it is mixed, it should be very thick and tacky. Wear disposable gloves when working with epoxy, since it may cause skin irritation. Lay cardboard or another disposable liner underneath the plastic, in case it drips through the mesh. Cover the entire area surrounding the hole with a layer of epoxy. Make sure the layers are even so that it dries evenly. It should be thick enough that the fiberglass can stick to it, but not overly thick. There should be enough epoxy so that the entire fiberglass patch sticks to the plastic. Use your hands to push the fiberglass the hole is in the middle of the patch. The excess fiberglass on each side ensures there is enough to cover the hole and will add a smooth transition between the plastic and epoxy. Fiberglass patches are flexible and should conform to the shape of the plastic you are mending. This time as you apply the epoxy, spread it over the part of the mesh that covers the hole. Use just enough epoxy to hide the mesh underneath, but not so much that it is clumpy. You want it to be as close to flush with the plastic as you can. Let the epoxy set on one side of the plastic before transporting the plastic or moving on. As it dries, it will harden and form a solid layer. It takes at least 24 hours for the epoxy to initially cure, though it may take longer in humid climates. Once one side of epoxy and fiberglass has set, apply epoxy to the other side of the plastic and adhere the fiberglass to it. Paint another layer of the epoxy over the fiberglass and let it cure for another 24 hours. This entire process can be done once more with more fiberglass pieces if you need to add more integrity to the plastic. Once both sides of the epoxy are set and dry, you can use sandpaper to smooth any dry epoxy, so it is level with the plastic. Wear a face mask as you sand the epoxy down so you don't breath any dust particles. Epoxy can be painted afterward to match the color of the plastic.
A:
Cut two fiberglass patches 6 inches (15cm) larger than the hole. Mix even amounts of each part of the epoxy in a bucket. Spread a thin layer of epoxy on one side of the hole with a putty knife. Press one of the fiberglass patches onto the epoxy, so that the hole is in the center. Paint another layer of the epoxy over the fiberglass. Let the epoxy dry for 24 hours. Repeat the process on the other side of the hole. Sand the epoxy until it is smooth.
