    I used to be a utility locator in 2011-2012. You know, one of the guys who would paint lines showing where the lines are when you “call before you dig”.

    The company I worked for was so disorganized, and had so much trouble keeping people, that everyone was basically working 7-12’s, unless you were on call. If you were on call, you got to work 12 hours and then you got to work all night.

    All for $12.50 per hour. I went to a temp agency to get a job, any job, doing anything. I dropped off the truck and the laptop for the utillity locator company without a word.
