Utility companies - ARRRRGH!

Our wonderful department of transportation is widening the main drag in front of my little neighborhood, so all sorts of junk is going on. For some reason, we don't know why, they are trenching down our street, laying some sort of tubing.
Yesterday, the cut through our telephone lines. No land line, and since we have DSL hookup through our phone company, no internet. We got telephone back this morning around 11:00.
At 1:30 this afternoon, while my husband was working on the computer on a new project, they cut the damn POWER line. Now, the entire neighborhood is without power!
ARRRRGH!

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

That sucks. They're supposed to have all the utilities spotted before they dig. Careless contractors...

Here, even a homeowner is suppose to call "Digsafe" before digging (within reason) or face fines.
Your city sucks, Sandy!!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Power's back on, thank God. The worst thing about not having power is not lack of TV, lights, etc. Our house is serviced by well and septic systems. No power = no well pump = no water = no FLUSH = STINKYPOO!  We definitely have a huge problem if the power stay off for very long! Not to mention the ice cream melts and the beer gets warm.
