I'm use to incompetence. I work for the government and we can't get rid of it in fact we promote it. I am not going to risk my job because of it though. You got to watch out for people like that, they will not hesitate to file a grievance.

I work with a few of these devout bible thumpers and even worse jehovas witnesses ( i told a few if they ever knocked on my door I would shoot them ) and the funny thing is they are some of the laziest backstabbers you will find.

I am sure most of them are praying I go to hell anyway.

On another interesting note, I have held a powerline that was hot at 161kV in my hand. It was one of the most interesting sensations I have ever felt. Even though we were at same potential, it still kinda vibrated and gave off a very odd sensation.
Our directional bore crew hit a 1million volt and a 500k line. Knocked out an entire city grid. I almost shoved a shovel through a 1,000v.

I'm not too sure about all the power but I work a good bit with Georgia Power and have talked to those guys. Some of the guys have to handle power in full insulated suits (They normally use gloves only) but those are usually sub-contracts (Highly paid) who mess with that. One of hte power guys use to work on lines from a helicopter. I think he said he worked with 1million and 500 cause I remember asking him what's the difference between a million and 500k if you get hit. He said 500k is open casket 1million is closed casket because it vaporizes you. Apparently one of their guys was killed when he had a pinhole leak in his insulated suit and the electricity jumped into this suit. They said there was barely anything left.

I helped put a power pole back in once that had some high voltage lines in it. I had rubber gloves on but damn you could feel that bitch humming.

Gas mains are my favorite things to bust.

So let me get this straight...

Co worker is a big time christian bible thumper that sometimes lies and make himself out to be a hypocrite.

So you let him get hurt

If I was another co-worker to you two... I'd pistol whip your ass and then turn you into the boss.

child... welcome to the professional world!

back when I played with electricity for a living, some guy decided to drop a wrench while working above a battery room... the resulting flash could be seen down the hall.

Dumbass. He was lucky but still a dumbass.

We just always hide food in eachother's desks, replace all the pens with dry ones, and crop-dust eachother as much as possible.
