Got home at 12:00 A.M. and have to go back to work @ 5 A.M. need to wake up @4 A.M. it is currently 12:30 A.M.
As for sleep.... not much of it. 😜😜
Glad it is just a quick job to change a leaking transformer.

Well, try not to go to work half asleep, that could make a guy careless...and that could be bad! Those work schedules where you almost meet yourself going are abit rough! ;)

Oh ya, this is just a taste of how things used to be. Double and triple check everything. 😉

Double checking things is a good idea, but I feel that the law of diminishing returns could come into play...negative things could happen if they try to work guys 20 hours per day!...But I am glad that you seem to be doing alright!

The law of diminishing marginal returns states that, at some point, adding an additional factor of production results in smaller increases in output.

When the lights are out we do what it takes to get them on. It’s our job and we love it. Believe it or not when we have been up for long periods of time we get more and more cautious.
Lineman are a special breed of people. We could turn in and call it a day at anytime. Overtime is optional, it’s our choice, and the $$ is Good 😉😉
15 hrs of double time.... I will take that to the bank and exchange for crypto. Ha ha ha

I am sure that many people appropriate the work that you guy do...I just dont want people to get hurt...I saw something that you might enjoy, its called 'cool-n-save' https://www.coolnsave.com/

I hear ya, I don’t wanna see people hurt either and that is why I take my job and all safety procedures very very seriously. #1 goal is for me and everyone I work with to go home every night with all their fingers and toes.
I will check it out. Thanks

You’re on double today then, ya? Sounds like you didn’t get your 8 between shifts.

Got called just after I got home. Any call after hours is double bubble.

people don’t like being out of power when it is that hot and I am not a big fan

Come on man... surly you could stand there with some stiff card or something and wave it around in front of them! 😂🤣

If I did that, then it would take even longer 😂😂

Lol.

I'm sorry to hear about all the extra work. This is why you get paid the, how did you call it once, "living comfortable" bucks? I don't know. You didn't use the term big bucks. You were trying to be modest or something. :) Anyway, I know you're done and enjoying your weekend, so way to tough it out. I hope you get some rest this weekend though. Get some sleep done. :)

I actually don’t mind doin this every now and again. It’s kind of fun. Plus ya the money help too for motivation. I’m goin to post up about what happened this weekend sometime. No need for you to be sorry, us lineman like working crazy hours. 😉😉

I'll look for the post.

I think there's definitely elements of adventure, problem solving, fixing and danger to what you do, and so I can see you enjoying something like this here and there. You seem to keep yourself safe, too, so you're mitigating risk as much as you can. That's all good. It's okay to be excited to do your job. It really is. That's the way it should be. Unfortunately, it's not. :)
