Damn interloper

I'm an ass

I sneak out to the garage, open the large door and stand there with an expression on my face like a kid who didn't get what he wanted at Christmas.

There are no fewer than eight guys working. Two in a bucket way up on the pole, two on the ground cutting and fixing lines, four moving the various lines across two trucks.

They all look at me and one guy comes running over apologizing And I say - Dude, my sister has an important appointment to go to, wtf???

He looks REAL sad and says - We should of notified you. We can move two of the trucks (you'd have to see the work area...it's immense) if you have to leave

Dude is not happy. I say I'll check with my sister. Go back out there and tell him we've made other arrangements, you guys are good!

I think he was going to hug me

If I had a job or an appointment, these posts would have an entirely different tone.

Until you lose power because of the guys outside and the crockpot shuts off.

You should see it. They are somehow taking all lines on the power pole off...and then transferring them to a new pole without dropping them or hopefully hitting buildings.


And yes the crockpot and computer and lights etc are all being powered by the line from my house that is now sagging and resting over a cross line about 30 feet up

I'm ready to fall asleep

It really is amazing. There's a f-ton of lines on that pole and they don't disconnect or cut any of them. While they bring down the pole they're attached to and erect a new one

I have the gas company coming today to inspect the furnace, no naps for me.

And oh joy look at that, Discovery is on tonight. My pending excitement could be measured in....microscopic increments

I won't get to watch it until this weekend. Just think, it's building up to an exciting finish with just 3 episodes left
