This afternoon, I was suddenly cut from an online conference, my computers went dark and everything was immediately totally silent. Attempting to investigate, I made it to the front door when I heard a loud BANG and my two hounds went berserk. I walked outside to see if a storm was nearby that would’ve knocked out power — or if my house was about to break into flames — and there it was again!
BANG!
I walked around the house to find a wormy little man at my electrical meter. Now I knew Duke Energy had plans to install new digital meters, but not WHEN they would arrive (only a block of potential dates). One would think upon their arrival they would at least attempt to notify homeowners inside of their plans. Right? NOPE.
Half pissed off because I disappeared from an important meeting, I asked Mr. Wormy why customers aren’t provided a quick 2-minute notice before starting their install. Dude said he knocked… I have 2 dogs and a camera that say he’s a liar.
Congratulations! Duke has screwed up your day and you’ve been lied to by one of their employees. Yay!
