whelp heres a peek into my job, cable tv. yeah its not bad but ive been making a pictoral history of my work. now for some of you you will have to ask some questions "would i do this?", "would i go inside that place?", or "could i live in such a place?". yeah well im sure ill have more pics of nasty places than the nice house i go to but this is all humor at my expense. anyway heres the first series of pics (btw i work in upstate ny)....

whelp heres my ride e-250 ford van (yeaaaaa!)

heres one of the daily tasks i have to do climb up my 32 foot extension ladder 11m for you euro friends, this is it fully extended hanging on a 1/4 inch piece of steel cable

heres a shot of the cable im hanging from (strand) the rope looking one is the strand and the solid tubes are the hard cable lines (actually provide the tv signal, called feeder)

heres a shot of the mountains in one of the remote parts of the system i work in

this would be the porn shop i had to cut off for not paying thier bill i had to say i was cutting them off into front of all the nasty old men who were buying some hmm adult novelties Laughing

heres two shots of a nasty nasty nasty basement, notice the pallets on the floor used to walk on over the 3 inches of standing water Confused

well if you guys enjoy ill start posting more of what i do at work and the places i have to go work at ill also include stories and such too if you want Laughing

ok i was driving down the street i about got ran into by squad cars following this white car, the cops bust out and drew weapons on them i made a u'ie and snapped this pic its a lil blury but i was moving yeah i was amused =)

heres the result of desperate people trying to steal cable this steel box was cut open and peeled back but they couldnt hook themselves up due to the shields on the main line (the splitter looking thing with the gold cylinders is called a tap)

heres another random shoot of the ghetto lol

whelp i said i would have stories but thats for next time unfortunately Crying or Very sad

until next time...
