What an amazing post of your work life. I have heard the title of your job, but had no idea what it was until I read this post. Somehow you have made a dangerous job in the freezing cold sound fun. I'm sure you are a valued employee.
This in the kind of post we need more of on steem - interesting and not crypto related. I'm going to tweet this with @share2steem to hope other will be as inspired as I am.

Man o man, that’s an early start time. You should see the equipment or lack there of that is used in Costa Rica. You say you guys are picky on what you crawl up in, are lifted in, seriously, no one even ties off here. We were walking up to one of the places we stayed and dudes were managing an extra extra extra tall ladder. Y’all enough to reach the top of a three story apartment complex and as we walked around the guys holding the ladder, they looked at us kind of funny for not walking underneath (the shorter route) and no sooner did they lose control of that damn ladder and it fell just missing all of us by a foot or so. The guy on the top of the building wasn’t tied off, these guys are nuts. No osha requirements here. Hey, do linemen have local cookouts and stuff too?

Yep, anytime that phone rings for an emergency, the thought of $$ guns through our heads. Lol.
We aren’t too picky, just our personal hooks and belt. When I show you guys the difference you will know why. I’ll fly any bucket, basket attached to a 150 foot crane or hang from a helicopter from a 60 foot rope, shimmy from one pole to the next using the cable TV lines across someone’s back yard. Whatever it takes. Lol.
I wouldn’t have been able to help myself but to kick back and watch that circus happen. WOW!! I mean I have done some dumb stuff in my day but dang!! Hey I guess you gotta do whatcha gotta do right. Lol.
Wait.. you mean to tell me you guys didn’t walk under the ladder??? What kind of people are you. HAHAHAH

I’m in on the channel, thanks dude. We’ve seen a few funny things here. Maybe they’re just funny because they are a different way of doing things, I don’t know 🤷🏼♀️

I don’t have to go every time but it sure is nice to have some extra $$ from working overtime. I used to take every outage call I would get. Not anymore, my family time is more important. Thanks for stopping by

Quite a mission and lots of work. You say if you don't find who had done it your company foots the bill.If you do though, does that person pay or would it be insurance related for them?

If they have insurance it might pay but I am not sure since they left the scene. Either way my company will send them a bill and it is up to them to pay it how ever they may. Hopefully they have insurance because it gets really expensive really fast!!

today I had a conversation with my friend about burning out in job or depression caused by the bad conditions or boring job. It's unbelievable how passionate are you about your work. The quantity and quality of the photos, gifs and detailed long story is very impressive ! also writing a blog about ourselves jobs is way much better than dropping a thousands of boring stories about working place and co-workers for our closest friends who actually perhaps might don't care. online is different, there is always somebody for you online. great idea, man

When I first got introduced to the High Voltage Lineman Trade I was told this...”You will either love it or hate it....and if you are in between you will either kill someone or kill yourself” Us Lineman are a different breed of people...well this is what I have been told anyway.
Being lucky enough to have a career that I enjoy going to everyday is indeed a blessing.
Not many people know what a Lineman is let alone the things we encounter when trying to restore power. I hope to give people a better understanding and idea of what goes on.
Thanks for stopping by
Cheers
