WHAT ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD? LINEMEN are rude crud and socially unacceptable. we are weather worn, tattered misfits that would fuck a snake if it would hold still long enough, and drink beer out of a dead whores snach without a second thought. We are on the job before sunup and not coming in until the sun goes down. You can not trust us with your daughter or your wife but if you ask us to hold your wallet it will come back in tact. We will never let you forget a mistake you made on the job but we will have your back in the bar. We will yell, curse you, and throw pole bolts at you if you don't pull your weight on the run, but we will never ask you to do anything that we haven't done or cant do our self. We will fuck with a newbee anytime we can but will not hesitate to give them the shirt off our back if they are worthy. We'll send your ass home in a heart beat if you slow us down on a job and bail your ass out of jail if you can help us make an extra dime. We are your best friend and your worst nightmare. Why oh why would someone even ask how to get to be one.
THE ANSWER IS YOU DON'T GET TO BE ONE. YOU ARE BORN ONE, It may take you some time to find out you are one but you just can't be one. You got to pay your dues, start at the bottom and work your way up, have your ass broken and fucked over and keep coming back. Find out what it'slike to work for a month or two come to work and find out the boss has left with everyones pay and the company is out of bussniess. Then move on to the next job and work with guys that become closer than brothers to you. You may only work with them once in your life but you know if you ever need their help they will be there for you.
Stick to your installs kid if you got to ask how to become one your already three steps behindand your costing us money.
