On the job
I start by telling you that I am a chemical engineer, and I am currently working in the oil industry as a drilling operations supervisor. Since I entered the oil industry I have had to work weekends, since the operations are continuous and do not stop at any time, we usually set up an on-call schedule either to work in the offices following the drilling operations of the wells or in the field either onshore or offshore in the drilling units.

In my first years of work, really working weekends did not affect me on a personal level, since I was in the job I had always dreamed of, like all young people we arrived with the energy to a thousand, with many desires to learn, and give the best to excel at work even I felt uncomfortable without going to work because I felt very full, where my boss sent me on weekends there I went, without caring about losing part of my social life, since I was single, and childless.

Everything began to change when I got married and had my daughter, since working on weekends interfered with my activities as a mother and wife I felt excluded from their lives, to work on weekends, so with greater maturity and burn stages in my life I felt that when the weekend came and touch guard began to become more forced for me, my husband and my daughter are saddened when I have to work on weekends.
It is really hard to work on a weekend when everyone is at home, or going out for a walk, and one has to go to work, missing out on sharing with family, friends, or just being at home instead of work, makes our weekends a little gray, going to meet a work schedule, without having some rest really exhausting, since we know that the weekends are made to breathe, recharge energy, and be active again on Monday to start the week.
I try to reward my family with outings on the weekends when I am not working, or to arrange for them to pick me up from work, to leave a little earlier to go out to eat.
For me, working on weekends will affect our life depending on our age and responsibilities, because if we are young and single, we should make the most of the time to learn and work, so that when the family and children arrive and the years begin to stick with age, working on weekends will not affect us so much.
