Started out just loading and unloading boom and supplies and worked every aspect of the operation...

I worked on a reed cutter and pulling booms on the Wabamun Lake spill outside Edmonton a few years back. That was only 40 some train cars and around 1mil litres. The mess was fucking ridiculous, and that oil gets into fucking everything. 5 years later tarballs and il sheen can still be seen in parts of the lake.I can't even begin to imagine just what a gigantic fucking disaster things are down there. I don't even want to ponder it, or how long the effects will remain. I would have worked longer, but I couldn't hack the heat all taped into the fucking hazmat suits they sealed us into. After an hour, there was literally like 4 inches of sweat in your boots. Good on you for your efforts, I'm sure it wasn't easy, but a learning experience that'll stay with you forever.
