that is wrong 99% of the time? This guy I work with just likes to hear himself talk is all I can figure. He just makes up crap. About stupid stuff. Yesterday he and a directional driller were talking about how much the CEO of our company makes. The driller said it was probably a few million a year. This guy says that there's no way that our CEO makes more than 800,000/yr because we're a public company yadda yadda yadda. A quick Google search showed that our CEO made $8,833,333 in 2005 and had another $3MM in unexcersied stock options.
Tonight he's said some more stuff like that. I don't correct him anymore. I just leave him be and do a lot of nodding accompanied with, 'I can't believe that' or 'amazing' or 'I never knew that'.
For the record. Shale is a source rock. I don't care what this guy says.
