My first work trip to Midland since I started on this team. Since our flight was at 7am Michelle and her husband picked me up for the airport.

Since we were there an hour and a half early we grabbed Chick-fil-A. I’ve never had their chicken biscuit before and per usual, not a big fan of biscuits since they crumble so easily. The spicy chicken was perfect though.

Soon enough we were able to board along with Kara, Phil, and Christopher. It’s kind of cool to see the well pads especially so close to the airport. But it also makes me sad that so much nature is gone because of it.

We got our rental and headed to Starbucks for a pick me up. It was also national coffee day so it was perfect. We went a detour way and saw an actual tumbleweed! Later when we were in the airport looking at souvenirs we saw a tumbleweed shirt and I really wanted one. They’re actually kinda cute.

We started our presentation for the production technicians. I only paid attention and spoke for my small tiny part. Because of that Christopher and I actually got a lot of work done. We had Chick-fil-A for lunch. I had their superfoods salad today and I fell in love. They just need to add some chicken to it and it’ll be perfect. Phil gave me his chips and cookies which now sits in my backpack for a rainy day.

We went to the airport and saw these statues. When I see the dog, I think he’s holding up a middle finger but I know that’s not the case.

We were supposed to get home around 9pm but we were able to get on an earlier flight and got home around 7pm. I had the pleasure of riding in a car the company usually calls for rides. I felt a little fancy.

I actually had fun on my first Midland trip though I hope I get to visit a rig one day soon. That would be pretty cool.
