The power of a lineman's lunch break

And ever notice how a solid lunch break can save a crew? Last week, we wrapped up a long day, but one good sandwich turned into a half-hour break that had us laughing so hard we forgot the heat. Just goes to show, the right fuel and a good joke can make even the toughest job a little lighter.

Absolutely! It’s like they say, a good laugh is just as crucial as your toolbox — but hey, I think we could all use another round of those sandwiches! Did anyone get the recipe for those killer subs?

And lunch breaks are vital! A little humor can really recharge a crew. What’s your go-to sandwich recipe? :sandwich:.

You nailed it with that sandwich! it drives me nuts how an hour can slip away when you’re laughing. I remember a day last month when a simple wrap turned into a full-on comedy show — way more valuable than another shot at the pole. What do you think is the best way to keep that energy going when the day gets long?
