I'm afraid of heights too. lol. Actually, I was at first. You get used to it. It's like walking. You aren't even thinking about it. (Usually...) You are to preoccupied with the job, the scenery, or some naked people doing yardwork in their backyard and thinking no one can see them. lol.

I'm in construction for the phone company. I do many things from building dsl and t1 lines to placing cables in manholes and on poles. The biggest busiest thing we've been doing right now is placing cable and terminals for new housing subdivisions.

In this particular job, I was adding a new cable and terminal. (The new cable is the one going into the new terminal on the left side of the pole.) These people were building a house and the old cable and terminal (right side of pole) didn't have any vacant phonelines left. So, to make a long story short, I was adding phone lines to the area to prepare for more building. It's a rural area, so I only added a 25 pair cable, which is the smallest size we have. The largest cable that I can think of that I've placed is 4200 pairs. (One pair equals one phone line.) I hope I didn't bore you with the shop talk. lol.
