Mistakes can have harsh consequences.
Two weeks ago I went to the funeral services of a 30 year guy who worked for a transmission contractor. He was considered a "fast" worker.
He leaves behind a wife and two kids.
Still a very safe job when two things are adhered to:
1. Leave your ego at the door
2.Remember to follow the safety rules (written in blood) and you will go home to see your family. (Barring any mechanical failure)
I've always said there were two types of lineman:
1. The chest beating "I'm a LIIIIIINEMAN" type
2. The Joes like myself that it's just a job, a mighty well paid one at that.
