I said mostly clean. Yeah you gotta deal with dust, cobwebs and the occasional mouse or whatever, but it's better than getting literally shit sprayed all over you.
Indeed. Although electrician is a broad category. My first thought was a lineman.
So, Geodad... Geodad, right? So Geodad, today's your first day with us and what you're going to be doing is changing a lightbulb. Nope, that's it, just the lightbulb, then you get to go home. Cushy? I guess.
Ok, I'm going to drive you over to the tower- what? Yeah, the KRDK-TV tower. Light's at the top. Just climb to top there and swap out the bulb.
Just a couple of things: There's no caging once you get up a ways so you're just climbing on the outside. This being your first time, you should clip in. It gets gusty up there. Second if you hear a helicopter locate its direction. If it's above you, climb down. If it's below, hang on tight and say your hail Marys - you signed the waiver, right? Good, good.
Just a lightbulb, today. I'll be back to pick you up later this afternoon when you get back down. Have fun!
I know! I would love that job. I have zero fear of heights and an intense urge to get as far away from people as possible. 🤣
