I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw
the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house.
They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window.
No way, absolutely no way was I going to permit this. I gulped
down my last bit of coffee and went directly to the crew
supervisor and told him in no uncertain terms that I was not
going to permit his crew to put that stupid electrical pole
directly in front of my picture window.
He took out a map for pole locations and a right of way document and
explained that it is the best location for it. I told him it is not the
best location for me and when I came home from work that day I did
not want to find that pole in front of my window.
I told him I didn't give a hoot where he put it but not in front of my
window. I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because I felt I
got my point across. I know darn well they are afraid to put it there now.
Ahhhh..... the feeling of power............
