Constantly seeing comments about how superior they believe they are. There was a guy down here talking about his "arena" and there not being anyone to replace him. The "Man in the Arena" speech by Theodore Roosevelt was clearly being referenced.
You are not a special snowflake. You risk your azz more than anyone else in the industry in any kind of utility gig, this is irrefutable. But you are not a special snowflake. People wonder what is wrong with this society/country and guess what it starts with it's MEN. You're a helicopter pilot that chose the road, nothing more nothing less. |

Not sure this applies to utility guys but hats off to those who are in or were in that industry either way. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt |

That's a lot of energy to put into clowns you claim to despise. |
