Strike Duty Day 2 - I Take Flight

At the end of day 1, my travel buddies and I ventured to the unknown. We took the subway back to our hotel. After de-mystifying the concept of riding the subway, we decided we could take the subway back to work the morning of day two. The subway was standing room only for the first few stops. By the time we got to our stop, we were the only ones in our car. Hmm. Church Street in Brooklyn isn't a popular destination point. We only had to walk two blocks from the subway to the garage. The union people were even more energized than they were the first day. Note to self. Buy some ear plugs.
We arrived on time. We spent another several hours organizing and getting ready for the day. As we left the garage, we stayed our our two truck configurations. Our first stop was "No Access", meaning the customer wasn't home. Our second stop was a little unusual. The customer had phone service, but the line drop from the pole to the house was literally dropped. A storm blew down several tree branches, which caught the line which dropped the drop to the ground. Simple enough. Re-attach the drop to the two story business. Tools required, a latter, a power drill, a screw and a bracket. I drew the short straw and found myself using said latter. I climbed the latter about 50 feet and attached a bracket to the side of the business. I re-attached the drop and we had our first successfull close. We noticed the neighbor had a similar issue, so we pro-actively fixed their problem. Though we won't get credit for another close, we helped a customer. Which, as Iam told, is the reason we are here. I finish the day by purchasing ear plugs.
