My fellow coworker/friend and I always constantly looked for ways to put our self in a position to do most of or all of the work regardless of whether it was climbing or bucket work. Many times we raced to the pole to get to the working position first or to get our truck set up where most of the work would be. It definatly made the work more fun and the days go by faster. Sadly he is retired now and I never had the opportunity to work together with another person with the same personality. I still take the opportunity to do such things, but the fun just is not in it anymore since there are none that want to play the game.
