Safety Guys...
One of the main reasons I retired.
I was installin an arrester on "A" phase on a 3 phase 7200 staight thru pole...just 3 Primarys and a neutral man...
My truck in a parking lot, with A and B phase on the right side of my bucket.
Had A and B covered with guts and hoods on the insulators, my truck is grounded to the neutral...yea, yea, yea... Safety guy rolls up.
"Gonna have to write ya up man."
For WHAT? "Ya don't have C Phase covered up." Unsnapped my "Harness", unassed the bucked, told my app. "Pull up the Jacks man, take me to the yard, I fuckin Quit." I just don't do STUPID. That was...2004. Yea, I went back after 2 days, cause they called me.
For about another 6 months of workin under stupid shit like that. Then just said Fuck it, and
REALLY retired. Till I got called back for Ike for 6 weeks...then "Retired" again...LAST Time!
