    I work as a cable tech where I live. In my Province (Manitoba), weather in summer can hit 35c for 2-3 months of summer. Our summers are usually Mid May to end of Sept. Which is mostly mosquitoes, and rain every weekend, oh and construction.

    Our winters start on Halloween, every year. It is almost snowing on Halloween every year. We have to plug our cars in if they are outside, or they won't start. That's usually from Dec 15th-March 7th, and the weather can hit (with the windchill) up to -55c. So, imagine a 35c to -55c change climate. Wow.

    So, I work in that. Outside, wrapping cable cords outside of a house if the house is solid shut, and I can't do it inside. Winter's so cold, that technically, I shouldn't be working in it if it's -55c. However we do. Cable lines split from being frozen, that we have to go back in the summer to fix it.

    Now, working inside homes. I've been in over 3000 homes in my 7+ year career. The nasty crap I come across, families on welfare, kids barely able to get a place to sleep. Drug addicts, homes so broken and crappy I don't even know why I'm hooking up an HDPVR, INTERNET and PHONE for people that don't even have proper beds for their kids. BEDBUGS!!! I could go on and on. OH, buckets and buckets of over filled cat litter that never gets cleaned, so they add more boxes, and leave the sh*tty ones still sitting there....ok I'm done. OH, tiny 500 sq foot houses with no AC in the hot humid 35c house.....with a 9 month old pregnant woman, and a 3 year old daughter....I'll never forget the daughter puking her guts out, after I told the mom to get outside the house (cooler outside than inside).....
