I was attacked!
I need danger pay for working at Shaw now. I was attacked whilst doing my last disconnect run. I set up my ladder on to the strand in a back alley. As I was half way up the ladder I noticed a wasps nest the size of a soccer ball hanging from a nearby phone connection tap. I thought that I had better slowly climb the rest of the way up so as not to disturb the nest. I reached the top and started to tie my lanyard around the strand to secure myself. Suddenly, two wasps decided to alert me of their presence and buzzed around me. I realized that the $8.50 for the disconnect was not worth the hassle so I started to climb down. At about halfway I was swarmed on by around twenty wasps! I was stung by one and tried to swat it. As I did, four others took that as their cue to sting me as well. Bear in mind that I was still trying to climb down the ladder. As I approached the bottom of the ladder I half jumped, half fell off the bottom three rungs. My arm swelled up and turned very red. On later inspection I realized that I had also cut my leg from the fall. And who says being a cable guy is easy?
