Thank you!!! Trust me, I don’t want power going off ever, would rather stay home with family. Until you have been on poles or in a bucket for hours upon hours in cold, ice or rain weeks at a time it’s hard to explain. Yes I can see the inconvenience, it is aggravating. I promise where I work we strive on improving system daily, thru tree trimming and line upgrades. Take a deep breath enjoy the quiet and have a family chat.
My uncle is a retired OG&E lineman. Not long after he retired, they had an outage that affected his house, so he drove down to where the guys were working to see what was happening. They said they needed help, and asked if that's why he was there.

I don't think he actually laughed in their faces, but I believe the phrase ":hellno:" was involved.

During the big ice storm, it was not a good idea to wear any clothing with an OGE logo on it. There were some really unhappy folks out there.

Seriously? Like it’s their fault Mother Nature knocked their power out? That’s crazy.

Same folks who are pissed off at the airline when the plane is broken or there is really bad weather and they can't leave on time. Personally, I'd rather fly on a fully functioning aircraft and not into bad weather.

Seriously. People would come up to you in the grocery store and want to know when their power would be restored, and why wasn’t I out there working on it, and were mighty unhappy. It wasn’t a casual conversation.
When I explained that I worked in the power plant, not a lineman, you’d think they got stabbed in the heart.
