22. Man I hate running network/phone cable

Apr 2012

I was so glad when our company finally decided it was cheaper to hire a BICSI certified company to make the big runs.

But I still got a crimper and some cat5 heads in my bag for emergencies.

The funny thing is I LIKE getting dressed up for work - not that I do it often. I don't wear a suit to work but I will wear dressier pants and long sleeved shirts and I am kind of a shoe snob on occasion. But most of the time it's dockers and polo - still feel a little civil but it doesn't hurt if I have to get down under a desk.

Also, my athletic socks still go to my knees but I no longer wear shorts that stop just below my nutsack.

I do plan to get a full dress kilt in my family tartan though. I would wear it to work but I just know the day I do is the day I HAVE to climb ladders and climb under desks to run cable.
