Well so far Renee is the only female on the rig


I thought I was on the rig with my firearms, first aid, and farming skills, along with my guard dogs.

I can't have kids, but I'm more than willing to help practice.



I believe this statement alone gets you on the rig


So true, you had to say it twice, right?


I studder when I get nervous around girls...

After finally having the time to read through all of this thread, I only recall one or two mentions of needing medical knowledge.  I think that you guys should target a pharmacy right off to get as many antibiotics as you can, and other basic first aid stuff.  Having a few Dr's and nurses on your oil rig/box store would be quite helpful too. 

I would gladly offer my services to an oil rig team, you'll need someone to help deliver the babies, and who's going to deal with them if they're sick?  And nurses are used to working long nights (at least a goodly number of us are) so we're all set to help on night watch.



OK, who's fooling around on the oil rig


Well there was plenty of talk about repopulating at one point...


Well so far Renee is the only female on the rig


Hey now! Let's not make this weird.

We would want to recruit:
  • A medic/doc/nurse
  • Actually, we need someone who can TEACH others, to pass on the knowledge and create more healthcare givers.
  • Someone to school the kids with a classical education - they're going to need the best education they can get if you want to avoid a devolving societal structure for future generations (I'm an optimist!).
  • A librarian!
  • An organic farmer with depth of knowledge
I'm certain we won't need lawyers. Except Celeste who will pull double duty as magistrate and sweet potato farmer. We do want to preserve a rule of and respect for laws and rights of others. This ain't no Lord of the Flies!

I found a sailing class! Seriously. I'm downloading the American Sailing Association app - apparently, I need to learn to tie knots, for starters (way cool app!).

I'm a teacher- 2nd grade.  I'd be happy to help teach them properly (uh, that means not teaching to the standardized tests all year that they have to take once a year...hope I don't get in trouble for that...).  I have also spent a lot of time in libraries as my mother was a librarian.  While my Ed degree is for elementary school, I can help coordinate higher learning with practical experience with others on the rig that have similar jobs related to educational interests...such as blowing the heads off of Zombies while heading to land for supplies we may need

Don't forget.  If your survival group is much over 5 you have substantially increased odds of including someone who, unbeknown to them (or perhaps beknown - I made that word up), is infected!

Application Denied.


Future inquiries should be made in reference to Republic of Renee. Renee is French for 'born again.' Fitting since our society shall be born, again.

Just kidding! I do not wish to encourage a cult of personality, so I think East of Eden would make a nice metaphorical name for our little home on the seas. That or Vandalayville!

Weird dream last night regarding this. 

The application process was a series of mental and physical tests.  Imagine boot camp, final exams & the NFL Combine all rolled into one.  After all of this, the "rulers" of the different oil rig nations drafted the applicants.

It starts like this:

What ... is your favorite colour?

BTW, we will have no rulers on our rig - which I have named Home. It will be a democracy; you can get voted off the rig if you are not a good citizen of Home. Stakes are high; consequences can be severe.

I don't get Zombies. But I read wired magazine, who have done a very good job of describing the apocolypse, including the best vehicles to drive for it plus a retrospective on how Lindsey Lohan predicted this exact phenomenon.

For your viewing pleasure, scroll down to the "Play" Section. Enjoy. http://www.wired.com/magazine/?intcid=gnav

After reading all 10 pages....I'd like to apply for a spot on the rig.  I'd be a great addition because:

  • I actually read all 10 pages and sided with the waterworld/sailboat/rig option from the start.
  • I've actually read East of Eden
  • I have several years of teaching/training experience for my career
  • I have 10+ years of tae kwon do training (and I have many trophy's to prove it)
  • I really, badly want on your rig

Let me know...

Hey, I never laugh about Zombies. That's why I avoid zombie walks. I've seen enough horror movies to know that all it takes is one REAL zombie to be in the midst of all the people having fun and laughs to turn things ugly!

 

I am also preparing for some of the alternate EOTWAWKI issues - like the rise of the computers/robots. I have elements of my own personal manifesto to help warn people.
