They were going to position it directly in front of
my picture window. No way, absolutely no way
was I going to permit this.

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

He took out 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,
but 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.
