How many grounding screws have you changed from flat/philips to hex head as a technician?

Also how many bottles of that orange sealant have you spilled in your toolbox?

Ever get to spend time in the fiber trailer?

Ever played trivial pursuit and lucked in to the card asking "What is the reflective coating on a fiber optic conductor called?"

I'm an Avaya engineer on site for a large customer and I work with the local ATT engineers on facility cabling.

They have a requirement to only use hex head grounding lugs, which then have to have this nasty orange sealant put on them to act as a tamper seal. All of the techs hate the process because once they open a closet/panel they have to change them all out to be up to spec.

We're a special breed of people, especially since so many of the guys in our line of work have been around since the age of the telegraph!
