MY DAY
A typical day
On a typical day, I arrive at the shop by 8:00, go over the emails and find out who I'm working with. Next, we go over our plans for the day and restock the truck and make sure we have all the equipment.
From 8:30 until lunchtime, we could be anywhere in the city repairing street lights. We break for lunch and then spend the rest of the afternoon fixing street lights. At around 3:30 we stop for a break and then head back to the shop to do paperwork. My day usually ends at 4:30 or 5:00.
