Now this pisses me off, yet again another slow down and the guy who did his job right the first time gets screwed. The hacks go out and race through the work, make big coin, and leave 100's of gigs. The guy who does nice work, takes his time and creates a nice product is left without work. Since there's no work, the hack can go back "fix" his crap while while the gig free splicer makes nothing. Does this sound familar to anyone else?

Right on about the cleaning up their gigs comment. Contractor here now has in-house guy's cleaning up nodes that were originally spliced over a year ago! Walkout Q.C. turned my stomach, could not believe the kind of work the hacks did and to think they got paid and flew!! At one point I made a 20 minute video tape of just one node. The evidence I presented should have had the contractor taken completely off the job. They ended up firing one of thier P.M.'s and continued to spread thier poison in the plant. Now that it has been so long and the node books aren't turned in, all the every day cable shit, damaged feeder, balancing issues (usually a tech re-padding to get away from a service call) etc. are getting in the mix so there is no way to hold them completely responsible for thier mess and a lot of shit is having to overlooked just so the nodes can be turned over to operations for marketing. Guess who fixes the shit now? Hourly in-house tech's who pass the buck to other hourly in-house tech's and the shit just sit's there and stinks!!

This industry sure has been slow since the beginning of 2001. When are things going to pick back up for a drafter/walkout man like myself? It's been way too long.
