Description Meet Peter, an electricity meter reader for AusPower, training shy young newcomer Lachlan, as they navigate abusive homeowners, cattle dogs, live meter boxes and worst of all the dangers of Annie, the Field Manager. Based on the real experiences of a broke young man trying to pay the rent in Sydney, this is a story of awkward friendship between lowly paid workers (ironically invisible in Hi-Vis gear) trying to fend for themselves in a dog-eat-dog workforce. And through it all, it’s about the books they read (when they’re not reading meters).
