Day 48 Working.......

I spent the entire week temping at a company called Visual Impact. I was mostly doing "BITCH" work.....taking out the trash...handing someone tools....etc. Well lately I have been doing alittle more. Stenciling, making signs...etc....Well today I woke up at O'dark:30 ...waited outside for my ride in the frost...and we drove to Farnham to put up a sign.
Funny, during the entire trip I was thinking we would be on ladders...maybe 10 feet off the ground at most...... NOPE. When we got there.....I was told I would be wearing a "spech-al" high vis outfit....a rappel harness...a 9 foot safety rope....and would be suspended about 30 meters up.
Let point out I am not afraid of heights...much.... but considering the operator had just finished telling me of his history of henioius car accidents.... I wasn't feeling to confident for personal safety. To make matters worse....when we were about 75 feet up....the other guy moved to one side of the basket and it tilted...on his side...AND HE IS LIGHTER then me....I just had to keep it in my head..... how much I was making ..about $19 an hour.....
In the end....it was fun.... we had a couple hair raising moments. More than a few laughs..and he promosed to ring me again if he ever needed more help.
