----, half the day I'm dealing with oil lines. Have you ever seen how sharp the ends get when they fray? The other half of the day I paint people's houses. Fucken purdy keeps making their brushes sharper and sharper. I'd say on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm fucked at 0.39 on the danger scale.

That list is kinda lame.I do construction mainly industrial at chemical plants and pulp mills where you could get killed in a second if you are not on the ball.That being said the safety regulations are so strict these days the chances of being killed are relativly low.I think being a convience store clerk in the gettho is probably much more dangerous.

I'm a residential electrician. Got to be on your toes sometimes, especially when things are live. Nothing like doing a fastrack service...you replace the outside meter pan and service connection while the power line is still attached and live. I have special gloves that i use for this specificly...thick rubber linings and thick leather glove over top that come up to your elbows. Only thing is if either one of those 2 glove pieces has a pinhole in it, kiss my *** good bye.

slo_crx1, locally you install the new service parallel to the existing one and then the power company comes out and switched the main line @ the pole for you.

Sucks to be you!
