[Otter]

Working as a painter for a half-assed owner who sent his guys 50 feet in the air on old wooden ladder with no harness. It wouldn't be so bad to be this high on an old wooden ladder but half the time we would be working on the side of a house where the ground wasn't level and his solution would be to stick a piece of 2x4 under the low side of the ladder to balance the ladder.

Second day on the job one of the guys finally bounced his ladder of the piece of 2x4 (shocking huh) and was taken away in an ambulance unconscious. Walked off the job right there and kicked myself for following that assholes lead.

I've done dry wall, construction, landscaping and worked as a molder in an iron foundry for a year while not pleasant I never felt my life was in danger.
