ME AND MY JOB
Physical work
We are usually out working in the field so it doesn't involve much sitting. In the wintertime when it's really cold out we will sit and do our station manual updating or research, but that's not very often.
There is considerable physical effort, but we always work in groups of two so we share that. We are often required to carry equipment that weighs up to 100 pounds. We'll just carry it from our truck to the structure and then back again, so it's not very far.
