Pole-Climbing Goes OK

Gabe calls to tell me that Steve Isaacson's pole-dancing (or was it pole-climbing?) test went OK today.

Pole-climbing is a requirement at his job. It involves climbing a telephone pole and doing electrical work up there, all exposed to the elements, without the surrounding cage that would make a Genie Lift psychically more comfortable. Must have been fun, fun, fun on this breezy day!

If Steve had failed, he would have had to resign. The test made him very nervous. Fortunately, he never has to do it again.

So, mazeltov on the pole-dancing! Time to celebrate with this (previously-posted) item....
