yea i love a funky beat no matter what it is. and i agree, if you appreciate music at all, its like you have to give credit where its deserved nomatter what the style is. the way you have to respect beethoven even thought you probably just dont throw him on when you hop inthe car.

3am my internet crashes and doesn't want to come back up so off to bed I went. Didn't mean to just get up and leave like that. 7am wake up to the power out. 12:15 all is finally right again in the world. I swear, if we had hookers on the corner mentioning blow jobs, that would be enough to knock the power out in this town. As a coffee lover, I am starting to see the value in a gas stove and a percolator. A man can get pretty cranky not getting his fix in the morning. Off to get my first cup now.

And look at that. Here comes the sun. Good day all.

Hi everyone. Hope yours weekends are going alright. I wanted to pass along a message from our friend Heads Up. He has asked for help with his situation, if you are willing to help him out let me know via PM and we'll get it all sorted.

He sends his thanks to all in here who have been so supportive. I guess his real life 'friends' have kinda disappeared.

That's typical. Or at least too common. Sending best wishes for HU.

I wanted to post this pic a Cable colleague posted. While it's not mine, I've seen the same and this wouldn't startle me anymore. From poor to rich and everything in between, this, is the typical day in the life of a Cable Guy.

Damn that brings back memories. I worked for a communications contractor for a couple of years when I was younger and for a while did cable for him. Mostly in Long Beach and I'd see that type of stuff all the time too. There are some pretty nasty homes in the world and it seems to get worse in the ghetto areas. I don't miss going under houses in ghetto areas, that's for sure. You never know what you'll come across...

Satellite was a little better for me because I was one of only three guys he had that would work in San Diego County. I lived furthest south and he had work down that way so it worked pretty well for me. Most of the guys lived in the LA area so it would be a far drive for them and probably not worth it. I'd still see the occasional place like the picture doing that too but not nearly as common.

I did Sat for a few months too, mostly in the rural areas, so that was a bit better, until I broke my ankle doing that job. No more ladders for me. Here's a post from the same place that another guy put up.

[h=6]I have a question for the guys that have been doing this for a while....In your opinion, are the customers getting crazier, or is it my imagination? In the past month I have had to get police involved in incidents involving the tech and the customer twice, today a crazy customer pulled a gun on a tech for no reason.[/h]
Here's another call.

I had way more drama when doing cable than direct tv. Long Beach is an above ground cabling community so almost every work order involved a ladder being put up. I'd go under a house at least once a day too. Found some nasty shiz under houses and had a trainee lose his ladder once, leaving him hanging from the messenger cable between poles. I put his ladder back as quick as possible and he was fine but quit on the spot.

Only accident I ever had doing either was losing my ladder on the side of a 2 story house. It slid and I rode it all the way down, lol. It was some college girls renting the place and they hadn't been keeping the backyard trimmed, fortunately. I had as soft a landing as you could ever have and ended up with a big ass bruise on my side but that's it.

I saw lots of places like that when I ran my little in-home computer repair business.
A lot of the times that mess was centered around the person's computer desk/table and I had to wade through it to access the rear of the computer box, or to pull it out to check on internal components.
A lot of my jobs were to act as the final (unofficial) liaison person for the cable & phone companies to either establish a new link to cable/DSL or to troubleshoot things when the service quit working.
Saw lots of places like that.
The worst were the occasional "hoarder". Just amazing how people can refuse to let junk go.
Glad I don't do that job anymore, too, but for more reasons than that.

Damn. I guess I'm the loser lol. I've had a few friends whose place looked like that nasty picture. I'd usually spend the whole time I was at their place cleaning. I love cleaning.

That bubble thing is sooooooo crazy. How do the dolphins break them and then put them back together? WILD WILD WILD. Cool doob.

NFL FOOTBALL It's a good day.
