ING A
because this is the story of my life: random ing bad luck/irony that happens.
Thursday: get home from work @ 445pm. power is out. "no big deal," i say, "the power company will get it back on soon, its just a normal outage".
look at my backyard and see THIS:

:wtf:
ING WINDS KNOCKED OVER ANOTHER TREE! The tree limb fell into my neighbor behind me's power lines....which pulled on the power pole in my backyard, which pulled on the power lines connecting my house, which in turn, yanked the ing weatherhead/power line protector thing COMPLETELY OUT OF MY HOUSE :eek::eek:




So SWEPCO (Southwestern ELectric Power Company) is out there, and he's like, "yeah, we can't connect your power until you get that weatherhead fixed...i was able to put it back on your roof, but its damaged".
. :whip:
so i go around to my neighbors, asking if anyone knew any good electricians...none really did; so i started calling random numbers in the phone book. either all of the 24/7 electricians were "TOO BUSY" :wtf: to come out and fix my , or one said, "yeah, all my employees on standby are out sick, sorry".
Thursday night: Click here for video story)
so today (friday), i call 5 electricians in the morning. only one gets back to me. he comes around 1pm or so (late); and fixes my . gives me a discount for being late ($175 to fix it total).
he calls SWEPCO in front of me, says its an emergency, i need power ASAP.
he leaves, i call SWEPCO. tell them i need power. i called them again about 3 hours later. "you're on the list sir, we will get to it as soon as we can". meanwhile, its 90F inside my house.
930PM: FINALLY SWEPCO comes out and fixes my power.
oh, and did i mention: Home Depot was supposed to come out and install 3 windows to my house today. turns out, the ing idiots measured wrong, and ALL THREE WINDOWS ARE TOO BIG AND CAN'T BE INSTALLED :whip::mad::whip::mad::whip::mad::whip::mad::whip::mad: So i have to wait another month for NEW ones to be made and installed. .
30 hours with no power = everything in my freezer was lost :( |
