3 weeks now!!

I have been on the underground crew now for 3 weeks. It is a lot of hard work but it is so different compared to over head. Yes, We still climb because the overhead usually carries the voltage running to a pivot or other place. I really enjoy working with brad. He and I like the same things and we laugh all day long it is a kick in the pants working with him. Most of the guys at work give brad a hard time because he is a neat freak. It is good because everything he does is very meticulous. He like washes his hands a lot and he can be in the dirt all day and come home with no dirt in him what so ever. I am completely the opposite. I work in the dirt and an dirty as all get out when I come home from work. Maybe it is because I spend a lot of time in the trench??? Well Things are good I wish they could leave things this way for a very long time. They say that it will be but who knows. My old foreman really loves me running the digger truck but he talks so much crap behind my back to the other bosses and I had no clue until I sat down and talked to one of them and asked where I was at in the company. Well things are good can't complain to much I still have a job and am still getting raises even though Obama has trashed the economy and the US period!!!!!
