First of all, I understand that your practice of pruning trees that are around power lines is a cost-saving measure. The more upkeep you do now, the less you’ll have to do when storms come in. I get it. What I don’t get is the note you left on our door over two weeks ago that said someone would be coming out to trim the trees in 1-5 days. There’s no way you can work that math in your favor — even if you use the infamous “business days” counting method. I understand that I’m pretty much powerless on this point — but the absolute least you can do is to give an even semi-accurate estimation of when you’ll show up. What I also don’t get is how you have the uncanny ability to know, without being told, what would be the worst possible day and time to do this. My son who, for comparison, slept for 2 hours and 5 minutes for his first nap yesterday (and was subsequently in a good mood and took another hour and a half nap for his second), took a 40 minute nap this morning. I guess that this is why you chose to come chop down and chip trees in my front yard 1 hour and 15 minutes into his second nap. He’s exhausted, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s your fault. Fair warning: I’ll be calling the hotline at around 5:30 to get someone to come out here and take care of the problem when he has a meltdown and cries for the rest of the evening. Since you apparently make it your business to know when my son’s napping I’m making it my business to let you listen to him scream for a couple of hours. One last question: Has there been a merger between you and UPS that I haven’t heard about yet? Cause it sure seems like y’all are run by the same incomptent, irritating, disorganized folks.
Talk to you in a couple hours,
Shannon
Powerless indeed.
