1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: The best tradey in mid Canterbury. All things to EA Networks,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: thank you for all the votes that have come through

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: on the Facebook page. Doing a tally up as we speak,

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: and the winner's being announced just after eight o'clock. A

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: little more from the apprentice cable jointer Tea Farsi at

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: EA Networks. A bit from her yesterday, and she's the

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: one who's dealing with the underground lines and some high

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: voltages HV is what eleven thousand vaults? That sounds dangerous.

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: My parents have definitely been a bit weary at times,

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: especially considering some things that have happened. And I tell

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: them stories sometimes and like, Tea, that's crazy, what if

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: something had gone wrong. I'm like, yeah, but that's just

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: half of it. It's electricity. The likelihood something can go

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: wrong is a lot higher than lots of other industries.

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: But that's the fun in it.

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I suppose are you the unsung heroes of the industry

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: because a lot of attentions always drawn to the lines,

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: men and women.

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: I definitely think people under resumeate cable jointers. We get

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: a lot of hate and we don't deserve it. What

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: do you mean hate, Well, it's just an industry thing.

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: Linemen always think they're better than us, which that's just

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: because there's more of them, but that's because they have

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: to work like four people and a crew. They take

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: four people to dress a pole.

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: You're more efficient, exactly.

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 2: We can work on our own, we can work together.

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Addressingly obvious, you're working in a traditionally male dominated sort

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: of field.

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: I have never had any problem with it personally because

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: I was a bartender for about three years before this,

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: so I was already exposed to having to work with

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: a lot of men. And I'm absolutely the sort of

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: person where I'm not going to let it get to

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: my head. You know, I'm here for a job, and

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: I'm not going to let any man telling me I

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: can't do something affect that. There's much more women getting

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: into it, and much like a lot more companies wanting

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 2: to make it an opportunity for women, and it's definitely

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: getting a lot easier, I would say, So.

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Are there some inter resting practical situations? For instance, I

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: imagine you spent a lot of time working out in

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the field in the middle of nowhere. Nature can call

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: it any time. For a dude, it's easy enough to

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: respond to that what do you do if you don't

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: mind me asking?

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Well, I just don't have a problem with that.

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: But even likes ppe primarily designed for a male body.

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: They are, yes, so I struggle a lot because, like

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: I know, Chloe, the other cable joined in our department,

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: she has to order in her pants, so they're like

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: women's pants. I wear the men's ones because I don't

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: care that much, and like my shirts, they're definitely built

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: for men, so they don't fit in places which it

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: Really rocking the mc hammer vibes.

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so a little bit maggy, but like, realistically,

58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm here to work and as long as I'm safe,

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter what I look like.

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: What an awesome attitude, eh,
