Where do you work/what do you do?

[Tonya]

I am a construction splicer for SBC (Southwestern Bell Communications). My tasks vary from day to day, but for the most part, I place phone cables on poles and in manholes. I build T1, DSL, ISDN lines etc... That involves placing special equipment on the lines and conditioning them from the phone central office to the business.

In the winter, construction always gets set aside for the storms though. I spend most of the winters loaned over to the home repair/installation department. I help them out by fixing the home phone lines and installing jacks. I've been at SBC for 7 years.

Here's a couple of work pictures...not that they really explain what I do. One of them is "trapped" in a collage from back when I only had a scanner. lol.
