Not my thing...I'd do something stupid and kill myself within my first 15 minutes on the job. But hey...if you think you're up to it I say go for it.

Heights aren't my problem...but working outdoors through a Canadian winter wouldn't be my first choice. That...and me and electricity haven't always gotten along well.

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao

Let's just put it this way.. A bad storm during the winter hits a part where you'd have to stay in a hotel overnight for a weekend or so somewhere else.. You're paid for the entire time you're there
