AS YOU WALK ON BY......WILL YOU CALL MY NAME
Or will you walk away? Nah…you won’t – you heard my lunch call. #lunchcoup
This job sucked. I was not at all good at it. #different But I learned to fly…and I don’t have wings – only a ladder and a bucket truck. (Not sure why those abilities were doubted by some.) Most of us are coming down – which is the hardest thing. But explanation to outsiders is tough - what was it like? It was the most frustrating, different, crazy, humbling, awful, job ever. It was a hot, hilarious mess. Most of the stories could only be told through text and pictures. If you’re judging, you should stop reading now, but don’t you forget about me. (Which is probably impossible anyway)
Some of us were really good at it…….I wish I had a handlebar mustache, then I could fix some copper too. Unless you need an aerial assist, and then we just hug it out when we find dial tone.
People are crazy. Unfortunately most of those people have FIOS. And don’t get me started on all the female remarks. #wearewickedsmart #mykryptonite Seriously Massachusetts. You gotta do better. Yea. We’re coming to repair your service. And I’ll take my fave female blondes and gingers any day. Bc they’re fierce. Just like my cool brunettes. #ifyoulikeitthenyoushouldaputaringonit I knew it was love when I heard “I’m not calling some dude for help”. No you’re not girl – but you can set the hell out of parental controls on set top boxes. #damnyoumike

Props to the best translator ever. Not sure how you put up with that bullshit……but #respect.
I can’t think of better people to do this with. Especially when you need cable lube (ick. Still want to kick you for that) And a forest ranger. Sorry I was occupying your outside bathroom sir. I hope you’re hydrated now.
Ever had dinner with a cowboy? It is most delightful. And you made our day most pleasant.
One of you called me the manliest dude in the garage – that was the biggest compliment I could have ever received. #fistbump
Lessons learned? Its ok to have weaknesses. We also have to be nicer to people. Well. As nice as my personality allows. But we have to overcome the lack of human decency that we experienced. Am still leery of big trucks – I’m sure they are still following me. Also – I am a goddamn master at the u-turn.
Note to self: stay away from large wardrobes in the future. I talked to the big fuzzy lion way too much. #narnia Didn’t help that weed seemed to be the GDP in New England.
“You see us as you want to see us – in the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is whatever we want to be…”
Thanks you guys - I’m no longer waiting on the set top box.
