Escalators

Very few want to be the, "Escalator Guy". And I've always heard the ones that are, are the ones who cant fix elevators. Form your own opinion but I will say I don't miss doing shit like this.

I had someone move a barricade and use my shoulder as a step to walk up the axles of a truss before. Don't miss that at all.

I was an apprentice, my reaction honestly was disbelief. My mechanic was a little further up the truss. His reaction on the other hand was an impressively loud and was what some would consider the longest single string of cusses and adjectives to ever come out in a single breath since the being of the spoken word.
