Re: Cattle prod?

Where I worked, the building power transformer blew up in the middle of the night. It was in a room across from the guard station. When queried, the guard said, "Yeah, there was a hell of a noise."

"Did you tell anyone?"

"No, I thought it was someone else's responsibility.

When they replaced the transformer (live) two guys held 2x4's and braced themselves to pull backwards. A third person reached over the 2x4's to attach the power leads. Everyone was very serious. If anything had happened the 2 2x4 guys were ready to pull as hard so they could to pull the third person back.

Not a job I would want.
