/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1270739
Backhoes and trench diggers where my biggest bane when working in telco, the little cunts KNOW about the signs, they know we put a layer of red oxide 2ft above the cable and they know to call. But they still gotta keep digging.

>near my east-fibre route
>head this off before shit gets all retarded
>go out, explain to tradies not to dig there and there, pointing at our two main bundles
>some time later, screams from the operations room as half the state goes 'dark'
>curse cunts for not planning circuits correctly with backup routes
It clicks...
>run like only a psychotic enginerd can when someone fucks with my stuff
>huge hole, shit everywhere
>backhoe already on trailer and doing the bolt down the street...

Course, they where found and fined into bankruptcy, but that's little concern for me as the next 20 hours spent zip together about 50 fibres, test db, sometimes re-terminate and unfuck the mess. Oh and executive faggots crawling up your arsehole every 15minutes for an update really helps me work faster speaking to some gormless cunt about 'whens my shit going to work again?'
