  I use to rant about this quite often- luckily I hadn’t had to deal with it very much up until today.

The Under Paid Technician

an eye into the life of FonePhux, a telecommunications technician.

about

I'm FonePhux, some might know me as the creator and editor of Amerikan Youth (sigmonic.com) and #FoneFoo on 2600net. There was a time when all phreaks wanted to do is learn more about the telecommunications industry. For some of us it was a hobby or a phase, for me it became an obsession and eventually my profession. Unfortuantly it wasn't as luxurious as it seemed... Your about to read the daily grind of a service technician.
