I keep a sticky note of people I won't group with.

I would like to see their fatasses climb a 10 foot tall tree.

This wasn't a typo BTW. As a foreman I've had to train dozens, if not hundreds of people, and less than 1:10 people are capable of even making it to top of a 30 foot tall tree.

The attrition rate is so high that they didn't even tell me they hired me to be a climber. The guy saw the recon part in my email and later admitted that was the only reason he even hired me. He said given my Military background that he assumed I would be able to handle the mental and physical aspect of the job, and he was right.

I remember my first day there, there was a kid up in a tree, and another guy on the ground using a non-conductive pole to pull a tree branch away from the wire because it was touching the tree that guy was in and zapping him. I remember thinking "what the fuck did I sign up for exactly"

I truly had no fucking clue, but I fell in love with it. I love anything where there is a chance of me dying, or where most human beings are too physically weak to do the job

like for most people being physically fit is just a hobby, but for me, most of my jobs = being physically fit is mandatory, and the more fit you are, the better you are at your job.
