were you the guy that went up in the cherrypicker to get the splice boot to bring it into the truck and then fusion splice poo poo? infrastructure work is real critical but it sucks to do

I did everything start to finish after it was pulled - dressed out the cabling properly on strand, prepped it into the splice boot, did all the splicing, and hung it up / strapped it out when I was done.

If you want to see some of my work go drive around West Roxbury, Hyde Park, or Roslindale, I did a lot of work for your cable company there back in 2001.

i remember when a backhoe sliced the main fiber trunk at work the cable company brought out a little hut trailer and some dude just sat in there and spliced for like 40 hours

oh yeah, it takes forever to do right although mass fusion / ribbon splicers help.
