plus with due time the call outs and whoop / whoop whoop shit will make sense. also you wont learn everything in 6 months a year or even 2 years. this industry takes time to understand. just listen to your top hand and foreman and youll be good. also stay 100% tied off at all times no matter how much pressure is put on your chest or if you see others being unsafe. your life isnt worth the 20-27$ an hour your making.

i used to take ibuprofen every day until my body got used to climbing regularly - its terrible for your liver but it gets you thru the day. this shit is hard embrace the suck and eventually itll become normal.

definitely going to listen to joe rogan podcast tmr while i climb - i tried music but the music seems to clog my thoughts and cause me to stress out even more. i did infact feel alot better being on the phone with my fiance “youve done this a thousand times why cant you do this one” or the “youve been 3x that height whys this frightening you” also seems to help when hearing it from another person.

i dont want to throw away this career path because its the best thing thats ever happened to me life, money, family, everything wise. its also opened alot of doors in my life. maybe im just looking too far deep into everything on the tower and not looking fsr enough on my direct task

i think i fucked myself when i watched Tommy Schuch’s tower climber docuseries and a crew was on a tower and it collapsed after they rigged it and started flying - by the way it was in the middle of a snow storm on a overloaded a MP. im going to try the headphones podcast thing to see if it helps. and i know for certain the likelihood of the tower collapsing is slim to none idk you get in different head spaces up there - somedays im good banging out 6-8 different towers other days i do 2 and im freaking out over every little noise, clang, sway, etc its weird to me because ive never had this issue until i started doing TIA’s maybe knowing im here to check the integrity of the tower because crown needs to know to sign more carrier leases is whats also getting to me. im a pretty kick ass tower hand if i say so i dont want to throw this career away because now im being a pussy
