So TWC says its 3 degrees out, its warmed up a little since I started today. I have been at work since 6:30 and this is how I am spending my fricken new years day! I just ripped a piece of skin off my damn arm when it froze to a rung on my ladder.

I just woke up. Holly jeebus thats alot of wires!
So are you a cable guy or something? Maybe phone?
I am a cable guy, ya this is north Juarez I mean greeley. I had to set my ladder, jump in the van and warm my hands, jump out and run up the frozen ladder to do my work, then run back to the van! I think I got frost bite in my finger this morning it was hurting now its just numb.
You must be in an older neighborhood where everything is overhead. That sucks you have to work today. I used to do utility locating, hated that job.
I'm working, but not outside.
I'm workin on a gas tank for a 1926 Miller 91....
Whilst drinking a beer!
Ya greeley has more airial plant then any other town in northern CO. I have worked everything north of Denver for comcast and us cable/baja, and greeley is by far the worst place to work for plant, people, etc. Every year I swear I will have a new inside job before the next winter but it never happens. The only place I would hate working more is cheyenne. But sometimes I get over to Jims neighborhood where all the rich folk live.Quote:

ho hum...another day of herding cats...
My team has a little project from the SEC so I'm working too. Fortunately the data retrieval takes a while so I can play around some between queries.
my big excitement today... a site in PA lost power and failed over to UPS.
10 minutes later I received a Generator1 on alarm and a Generator2 Start Fail Alarm.[panic]

I've been off starting dec 3rd and visiting family in San Diego from dec 23 until now just packing up to head home. I figure 5 more days off and it will have made up for all the 6 and 7 day work weeks this summer (6 weeks no days off at one point) it has been nice to spend time with the family.
When it's 9 below outside its automatically cold inside.Quote:
