you lucky bastard!! my first job offer out of college was also with Halliburton..and they wanted to send me to Midland/Odessa area..
right. i declined, very politely. if they would have offered Bakersfield, i would have screeched tires running out of El Paso texas. you can see the LA lights, if you squint.
i almost got my ass kicked in Midland when my brother bought his bass boat there. err..for being a person of color. okay, a smart ass, loud, person of color..but it really was the color thing that started it.
