Don't we all know that feeling... I remember climbing 300' when it was below freezing, 30mph winds and the snow was more wet then anything. Before I climbed one of the customers said "You're killing my business". Mind you he has had no issues outside of this instance, 6 months since we bought the network. Half way up I just kept reciting that laughing at how ridiculous the situation was - I'm way above the ground freezing my ass off to fix just a few customers and they were that grateful. Gotta love it :)
