Passed 2,000 attic crawls and something clicked about the job
I counted back through my service logs after a job in Toledo last Tuesday and realized I've done over 2,000 attic crawls since I started with this company. That number hit me different because each one has its own weird story, like the time a guy had a full drum set up there or the lady who stored holiday decorations in mine shafts she rigged herself. It made me see that this trade is less about cable and more about climbing into people's private chaos every single day. Anyone else ever count up their repeats on a specific setup and get weird about what it says about you?
Man, 2,000 is a wild number to look back on. I've never counted mine but I bet it adds up fast when you're doing this every day. That drum set story got me though, because you really do end up seeing a side of people that nobody else gets to see. It's kind of a strange job when you think about it like that.
