Yikes! Some of those shots are at dizzying heights.

i am *so jealous*

i suppose some spoil-sport made you where a safety harness?

do they get many BASE jumpers?

They talked about safety harnesses, but everything was handrailed - it would be nearly impossible to accidentally fall off. Once they start work, then everyone will have to wear a safety harness. Especially when they remove the floor of the access catwalk, and when they're building the expanded platform on top of the pier, and take out the existing handrails.

They do get illegal BASE jumping, and every once in a while, Vin Diesel drives a Corvette off the bridge.

is *THAT* where i've seen the bridge before?

"nearly impossible" = possible.

glad you didn't have to wear a harness.
they make high places feel
like you're washing your feet with your socks on.

The days when you get to say, "Yes I live the exciting life of an engineer!"

or just, "Yipee! Mind boggling heights!"

Now if they could just get get you a gig that allows you to utter, "Fire in the hole!", this will be a good year.

My god, just looking at that linked pic gives me dizzies/vertigo. I'm glad you had fun/awesome shots, but holy jesus, you can keep your job. :)
