I thought that about the cable TV gig. I got the job thinking, "oh cool, I go into the house, plug in the box, and be on my way." On my first day the supervisor drove me out to meet up with one of the other installers so I could ride with him. As we pulled up, he was putting on his gaffs, and proceeded to climb the pole to do a disconnect at the tap.

I'm afraid of heights.

I was bumming.

Actually lasted about 1.5 years at that job. Only "burned" one pole (my gaff hit a crack and I hugged the pole rather than fall 20 feet...splinters in my arms and chest. Creosote makes it even better!
