I used to work at a TV station in Ohio. On weekends, we only had an 11pm news broadcast. Not much happened on weekends, ya know? I worked Monday-Friday 9-5, but someone on the weekend shift quit, so I also had to come in at 9pm on Sat/Sun to work the 11pm news. It was brutal. I worked seven days a week, even if two of them were ~3hrs.

This was a particularly bad winter. One Saturday, we had a level 2 snow emergency: That means you should only travel if you absolutely must. Like, it's not uncommon for cops to pull you over in level 2 emergencies to ask where you're going and why. It is genuinely dangerous to drive in that much snow.

I told my boss as much, how I almost crashed on the way home at 12:30am after a news broadcast. I told him I would need to call off if there were a snow emergency again during a night snow.

He told me, point blank, "If you ever call me about the goddamn snow, I will take it as a call of resignation."

And that was that! The very next Saturday, snow fell again. It was a level 2, but would become level 3 by sunup. Level 3 means driving is literally illegal except for ambulances and snow plows. I stared out the window, watching the snow, and I had to make a choice.

"Will I die for this? Will I kill myself to keep this job?" I made $11/hr.

Ran wire in an (est 145?yr) old building, a Hotel initially? Mayyybe? And it whispered its story the enitre time, grand crowns, once beautiful wooden flooring in the stupidest (most careful) of places, the main stair towers had dark wood lacquered railing tops with marble panel banisters, most chipped and replaced with dull white plaster. Romoured to me by my gc was a ball room and balcony, beautiful brick work and plaster work, the ball floor now drop ceiling concealing office spaces and memorial libraries

The door leading to it remained locked as we didnt need access to run our wire.:(

Also romoured was evidence of segregated bathrooms, the doors leading too, in the stair wells, were pointed out to me. In (assumably) halls comepletely separate from office spaces (on half floors, suspended walk way/crawlspace floors) the people subjected would need to exit their working floor to walk down flights, 2 or 4 sets of 10, to get to a restroom in specific stair towers.

The iconic “Kiss of Life” photo, taken on July 17, 1967, captures an extraordinary act of heroism that saved a life. The image, showing a lineman who had come in contact with a live electrical wire receiving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation atop a utility pole from his colleague utility worker. The photograph became famous worldwide, earning the photographer, Rocco Morabito, a Pulitzer Prize. This is the powerful story behind that incredible moment and the story, known as “The Kiss of Life,” exemplifies the importance of immediate first aid in electrical accidents.
