All of the gas lines for the city are underground. In order to access the gas lines, you have to go down a manhole into the depths of the sewer system. My first time working on the city gas lines was last week. I am still training as a plumbing contractor. I have two more months of training before I will be done. The training period has been very informative. I’ve learned a lot of tricks and tools of the trade. The boss shows me how to do it right and then how to do it quickly. I was working with a guy named Jack last week when we ended up underground working on the city gas lines. We had to replace several gas lines. It was hot, damp, and very uncomfortable underground. Every time the subway came through the area, dirt and dust from the walls shifted. I was worried that the tunnels would collapse at any time. I honestly don’t think that I will spend very much time with the company if they put me on the crew that works on the city gas lines. I have a pretty healthy fear of enclosed spaces and I was on severe alert that day that I was working on the gas lines. At the end of the day, I went home and drank a whole six pack of beer. I felt like I had been inside of a grave all day. My nerves were a wreck and I nearly had a panic attack just explaining the situation to my wife.
