This video has taught me: 1) Service disruptions to gas stations affect their lights but not their electronic pricing signage. 2) The electric company doesn't proactively investigate outages until people call in about them; even when their own employees experience a service interruption during a special event. 3) The electric company has no shame in blaming nature/storms for outages, rather than a lack of redundancies. 4) Electric companies always employ really bad actors. 5) As with most things, the entire operation is really being run by a woman with a floral print shirt on that's working longer shifts than anyone else involved. 6) Rural Pennsylvania doesn't have any kind of computerized field operations, but they do have really clear radios in their vehicles.

Shout out to all the lineman and crews! Friends and Family of mine are utility workers. People remember with Smart Meters you don't even need to call in an outage hardly anymore, leave that for emergency calls for people with medical needs and or equipment such as oxygen concentrators Etc. They will know when the supply gets cut from the meter. And remember cordless phones will not work without AC unless attached to UPS. Always have at least one corded phone hardwired to a jack because the phone company will have battery standby or diesel and still work! At 5:40, shout out to the farmer with the Deutz-Allis!

Dude has it made. He'll retire with 2 million and other than that, his bank account will have probably grown to over a million. Power companies sure do have their choice of guys, as everyone wants to get into it. No school, just straight hired at about 18 dollars an hour and all the overtime you can dream of. Your weekley bring home will be fucking 1500 dollars. I make that in a fucking month, I could just never get the right opportunity to get into power. I couldn't find anyone who'd help me get a CDL to get in the door. I was going to SLTC in Georgia, but my boss fired me at the HVAC company and I had to spend the 10 grand for the school on living. These guys don't know how lucky they are that they fall into these power jobs. They better thank their fucking God, cuz I never fell into it. I fell into communications linework. I was one of those dudes a job always found me. I started at Bell Atlantic, then I knew someone who worked for a communications contractor. I applied at CW Wright, a power contractor but God damn I got the jist when I went in to fill out the application and check on it, "we don't have the work". Only contractor around. Sucks. I like linework. I do. It's a challenge. Plus power pays well. Fuck, I could have actually had a life if CW Wright hired me. They gotta pay 25 an hour.
