@alexwakeland: Replying to @erickcamarillo45 here’s some ramblings about California- I don’t have a lot of photos or videos from out there mainly bc you are always moving, not alot of breaks or time to mess around- and they will fire you immediately if you slow stuff down. In the Midwest I’m a rockstar- in Cali I’m just like everyone else. #linework #union #california
The culture of California 1245 being half travelers half homebodies pretty mellow good hours good work. Now Southern California 47 it’s go go go hard money reconduct you name it. It’s a jungle out here. And very clicky too.

Ga power transmission spec is super strict. Everything is getting x rayed, might as well copy and paste what’s in the spec book and put it on the pole.

CALOSHA is WAY more stringent to PSE&G than SoCal Edison.........BTW pretty much every Cali apprentice is driving an already paid off $100K pick up because of all the OT is Double bubble baby!😉

when I was a 1st-4th step my job was to know spec bc at that point I was a glorified groundman basically. i'd get so much push back from travelers when i'd try and tell them they can't just do wtf they want. like I get it I was low man and an ape but if I don't correct this rn ima have to go back and fix all the shit you did on the fly and keep working on all the other shit I have to do. it would drive me nuts bc cali linemen would go to me/other apes w spec questions bc we had to know it and then travelers would act like you're a know it all and take offense. getting sent to nevada was crazy to me bc the spec was so much more lax and id always be asking for specifics and trying to be all anal about spec and they'd look at me crazy and tell me to just make it work. super weird finding out spec was more a guideline than bible outside of cali

Your Daddy :
I tell hands all the time…. Yup, the spec is dumb, we get paid a lot of money, so do it dumb. You can argue until your blue in the face, but in the end, you do it as the spec book shows, or you’ll be down the road.

I’m right :
Ameren in Missouri is like Call the engineer…. They say we will get back to you in five weeks even though you have a road shut down and a broken pole. they’re like two decades behind
