I was a lineman for years until my body couldn’t take it anymore. Storm work you could do 72hrs straight while catching a bit of sleep in the front seat of the bucket truck while waiting on parts exc. it’s grueling and dangerous, we would go until the hallucinations started setting in and it’s nap time. I would see rabbits on the road running around and I would think “ok, bring it in, everyone take a break get some shuteye.” My buddy said it sounded like Ranger school accept your 40ft in the air, rear easement was the worst because you had to climb everything and work around downed trees as they were off the road and less of a priority. The guy’s I worked with were tough as nails. You would love to go to a hotel but sometimes there’s no hotel left to stay in. The government is always slow on paying, but this is something different, malevolence at the highest order.
