My life with the Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza gets weirder and weirder. I’ll have to drive a lift (Yes an IT guy driving a lift, what the fuck were they thinking of?) I work out of trailers, wear a hard hat, steel toe boots, carry construction tools around and gulp had to re-learn how to wire RJ-45 Connectors again and there’s so much more weird and unusual stuff.
But by far the weirdest, strangest and most cracked stuff I’ve ever done in IT is walk a plank. At the back of the tent there’s the Stage Management booth and to get there you have to walk a plank that’s 2 feet wide and a 2 story high drop. Hey wait a minute; this is not what I get paid for? As in risking my neck to plug a cable. I have vertigo so there’s no way I’m walking this plank to plug a fucking network cable, they can bite me.
Then I turn around and I see 5 guys are Rope-Skipping on a high-wire even higher up than me. I started feeling like a big pussy. So fuck it I thought, if they can jump-rope on a high-wire, I can surely walk a little plank.
My job is completely insane.
You should of asks them to plug the cable
Is it scary that I know what what RJ-45 means?
Neat challenges!
@Vanou And look like a pussy?
@Jon No it’s not
@Christelle It’s freaky.
Scary, plus, with your “luck”, I dunno
@Shan yes my dumb luck… I’ll walk the plank only when necessary
You have an insane job, but it fits you well my friend, that’s at least that..!
But still, I would have died, personnaly!
I love crimping RJ-45 connectors. I find it to be relaxing and meditation-like.
