Life on the Rig Ricardo Delgado lives in a small village in Venezuela. He’s an electrical engineer, and he works on an oil rig in the Caribbean Sea. Ricardo lives on the rig for two weeks, and then he has two weeks off. For the first week, he’s on the day shift from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. In the second week, he changes to the night shift. When Ricardo isn’t on duty, he sleeps a lot. He usually goes to the gym, and he sometimes plays ping-pong. There’s a movie theater on the rig, so Ricardo usually watches five or six movies a week. About 480 people work on the rig. It’s like a small village with all kinds of workers—cleaners, engineers, plumbers, electricians, chefs, office assistants, computer engineers, nurses, painters, and more. After two weeks, Ricardo leaves the rig and goes home. “We have a small farm, so there are always things to do,” he says. He doesn’t work all the time when he’s at home. He likes fishing, and sometimes he goes on vacation to go skiing. Ricardo likes his job. The money is very good and he enjoys the time at home, but there are problems. “The weather’s often bad, so the rig moves a lot, “he says.” I hardly ever get seasick, but it isn’t very nice when I do. The biggest problem is the shift work. When I change from the day shift to the night shift, I can never sleep. I watch a lot of movies then!”
