Working with Good men

[bobbo]

Building 345 switches that I have never built before. My groundsman knows a 1000 times more than I do, because he built a 1000. My first day was a mess, frustrated that I wasn't at the ability or knowledge of the guys that I was working with. I was embarrassingly slow and not knowing the details. Took us half a day to do one my first day. Then the next day it went do smooth cause I asked a lot of questions and learned from my mistakes. I never was one who thought I was better because I have higher classification and better pay. Why I am learning so quickly is my groundsman most, foreman and fellow lineman is training me, because I am not a ****. I have worked with career groundsman a lot. The guys with ten or twenty years know more than green lineman. I think the quality of not being a **** will make more knowledgeable lineman. I don't think many people I have met would have the humility to learn because they know it all. And that's sad.
