[usr] I often am gone from my home and family for days or even weeks at a time.  I work on remote locations, looking for oil and gas. [sys] Sounds like an interesting job.  I'm sure it's taxing on the family though. [usr] It is difficult feeling isolated.  I miss them a lot. [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a positive mood, please congratulate me and praise me.
In the end is the trade off worth it?
I work in the oilfield a a field geologist.  My work requires me to be away from my family for days, and sometimes weeks at a time.  I feel very isolated and miss home.
