A co-worker emailed this to me. Since it's sorta power-line related, I'll pass it on. The text that came with the picture reads as follows:

Ahh...The Feeling of Power...

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 positioning it directly in front of my picture window.

No way, absolutely no way was I permitting this. I gulped down my last bit of coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor. I told him in no uncertain terms that I would not permit his crew to put that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.

He took out a plat map, 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, just 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.

Ahh..... The feeling of power............at least until I got home!
