A few changes

Schlumberger decided to postpone my start date, so I will be leaving around November 21st. OFS-1 (orientation) will start November 23rd. The economy has created a weird situation for the company, and its new hires.

However, I'm focusing on the positives of this postponement; More and more American engineers are being sent to Russia. Which means native English speakers.

Why, you may ask? The Fatherland (the words of the Soviet national anthem were changed for the Russian Federation) is now the world's largest producer of oil.
