Remember just a couple weeks ago when I posted about the lazy tree trimmers hired by the electric company…and how they spent so much time swinging on my neighbors swings? (pics here) This after refusing to cut the branches that entangled my wires???? Wellllll….after the storm rolled through on Sunday I had some branches come down and they were hanging on those same wires.
I called the electric company, explained the story of the lazy trimmers and that now these same branches had come down on the wires. And how I blogged about it complete with photos. Within 40 MINUTES a truck pulled up to cut the branches blocking the wire. Of course, they only did the ONE wire rather than the 3 that are out there but I was satisfied.

That is of course until as soon as they were finished….they proceeded to sit in their truck doing absolutely NOTHING for 2 hours and 30 minutes…parked in front of my house. Now…with all the storm damage and downed lines and trees in the area (a lot!) I’m SURE they might have had somewhere to go. Or one would think. This is why our rates are so high. Apparently they pay crews to sit in a truck and do nothing for hours at a time.

I see repairmen of all kinds sitting in their trucks. No wonder they charge so much! Wonder what they DO in their trucks? Read romance novels?

I can’t believe they sat there after they knew you documents their last visit.
no, i would not send the pictures and the blog to the Electric Comapny i would send them to all the news stations
And we wonder why our economy is in the shitter. I like the idea of sending it to the news. I don’t hold out much hope the electric company would do anything constructive about it without a major public embarrassment.

Glad you blogged about them the other day… LOL
Maybe, you should mail the company all the pictures…:)
Too frustrating. send them this post link too.

Sheesh. You’d think knowing they were being watched would at least create the illusion that they were working. That must have been very frustrating to see.

Good for you for documenting everything. A picture is worth a thousand words. No wonder our utility rates are so high. Also, thanks for stopping by my blog & commenting!

Unbelievable! Did they have their laptops in the truck, and were they on your wireless connection for those 2.5 hours??
xo
It sounded so good at first, and then it kinda ended up the same way! Ridiculous!
blueviolet´s last [type] ..Mr Self-Important – W-W
wow. i can’t believe they sat out there for 2.5 hours!! i agree with the others who say you should send the link to this entry to electric company. btw, i love the title for this one.
Jeanne´s last [type] ..Random Mid-week Stuff
Holy cow, the fact that they were sitting there idle for so long would’ve driven me nuts. At least you got them to get some of the work done, but really, if they were gonna fart around for two and a half hours the least they could’ve done is parked on another street. Yeesh.
mrsbear´s last [type] ..Random Bla Bla Bla a Little Past Tuesday with Little or No Thought
Call the local news! Fox news in LA followed a couple of the City’s power company trucks to a strip club– for 2+ hours and then to a liquor store where they bought booze and were caught drinking and driving. It’s a total rip off of tax dollars.
Go get ‘em. Call the media.

Our town won’t cut the trees, so my neighbor cut all the branches off the tree they planted, now it looks like a bush with a stick, kind of like a bush puppet.
