I was sitting on the top of a 12 foot ladder with my head and arms in the ceiling talking to someone. my friend paused and worried about disturbing me. he thought that this particular job had driven me around the bend and I was talking to myself in the celing . maybe ya' had to have been there...
A guy I knew who used to lead telco cabling crews said "You're as good as the guy in the other end."

I've done cable runs, for electricity, telecom, and data. It requires skill, and often creativity.

Tying into a different thread thread, an old friend was an electrician. He stopped by for a visit when we had made fresh bean stew, and happily devoured several bowls. He reported later "It worked great!. By the time I got to the job site, I was cutting some real rotten eggs! The foreman just said 'You go pull wire down at the other end of the hall!', and he didn't bother me all day!"
