Default Re: occupations?

i am a phone man and nooo i'm not the guy at the cell phone store. i work on the new verizon network called FiOS i build the network from placing cable to splicing cables together to setting up terminals and wiring buildings, i climb telephone poles on just about the daily drive a a ford f450 dually bucket truck and love every second of my job! of course its really only fun when it gets a lil scary and gets your heart pumping, like when your 30 feet in the air and the only thing holding you up are 2 1 inch spikes of steel, then it starts raining and the pole gets slippery, then the wind picks up and it starts to shake and sway!!! i love it, hitting the ground from that height is no fun but isn't that why people bungee jump? and i will say i would like finks job if i could use explosives, but other than that i have the best job in the world. i also do side work, i took over my dads post retirement very small buisness of gunsmithing mainly specializing in colt 1911 a1's, ar15's / m16's, antique winchesters (1887's, 1897's, model 12's, 1890's, 1906's, model 62's), smith and wessons, m1 garands, m14's, m1 carbines, 03a3's, and rugers.
