He had just gotten up from the desk when the tree came crashing down. Power is out again right now. It took the 2 days to fix it the first time, I got woken up by a text from PGE that power was out, an hour later got a text that it was back, then an hour later it was out again. Same number of houses, when I left for breakfast they were working on the pole. I have a co-worker in town from New Jersey who needed a place to stay, all of this came down an hour after we left the house on Tuesday morning, so he got to spend a couple nights in a cabin in the woods with no electricity. Wednesday, just as we were leaving someone showed up from AT&T to recon the situation, he said I had to make sure to file a trouble ticket specifically for my house. I get my network feed through Sonic, which has much better customer service than AT&T, I was on the phone with them (mostly on hold) while she was on hold with AT&T trying to get something scheduled. Wednesday night I drove pretty much all night down to Riverside (took a nap in a Walmart parking lot someplace South of Pomona) and got a call from someone at AT&T asking if I was “there”, after a bit of confusion it turned out he meant at the new place for work, not my house. So, I’m hanging out at a local diner that has both power and internet right now. The funny thing about “the good thing is that the tree missed my house” is that if it did hit my house, a bunch of repairs that the house needs anyways would have gotten paid for by insurance while they were fixing the tree damage. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret4est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
