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. 🤣
