Though you might wonder why when I tell you that I climb telephone poles for a living fixing telephone and other data lines for customers, I just recently switched over to the construction side of things learning to be what they call a c-splicer ( copper splicer) and I absolutely love it, sometimes I get to hang out in the air on the telephone poles wearing my gaffs (kind of like strap on shafts with a spike on each one which I strap on over my redwing boots. Sometimes I get to sit on a box at one of our ground terminals. When I am on the poles it is so scarey that I find it exillerating better high than any drug I could ever take because it is such a rush. Yep I have fallen or what we call cut out a few times but I get right back on after a few. I don't like worrying from one day to the next if I will have a job in the next 90 days because they decide to change the title to something different with a topout pay less than half of what I make, but I do love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything at all.
... something I did not have the willingness or ability to do. My job was to learn the system, streamline the system and then somehow, find a way to save the company money.
Most days are good, some days are great, and I do admit I laugh every day! 5-year-olds have extremely active imaginations- recently I've been doing writing journals with them. One student loves superheros, so the 2 of us invented some superheros for him to write about in his journal: Kitchen Dog , who has a stove on his back, and his companion Oven Mitt Girl, who has oven mitts for hands. They are saving the world from bad food 
I work p/t in retail, some days I hate it ( when people leave a mess in the fitting room-clothes inside out , things pushed under the chairs, and garbage left on top of the clothes ), but usually it's not too bad.
Love it! Work way too many hours, but love it!
showing all the guys how much I really know about it
