My job is dangerous

And I love it!

I was just hanging dozens of feet over the empty house of our theatre (where the audience sits) cuz we were taking some kinda frame down. Now usually all we do is switch out the color gels for the lights, which is dangerous by itself because if you're an idiot, and get in there good enough, you can fall and break every single bone in your body.

But to get the frame down, you have to expose yourself even more to get the huge bolt out, which is upside down UNDER the ceiling you're on top of! So yeah, I'm sprawled down to my ribs over the catwalk while one of my co-workers is holding on to my legs.  lol I was praying my glasses wouldn't fall off cuz I don't have money for a new pair.

So anyway, scary stuff. Hanging over the catwalk hurts like the dickens, and I have teeny pieces of dirt and rope all over my clothes, poking me in the skin, but I love every single moment of it. :)

Live your dreams people!!

Edit: Cuz it was my waist not my ribs!

life, work
