Fourth Day in a Row, so Aggravating!

Today is the fourth day in a row that they turned off my electric for more than an hour each time. It throws my earning curve off every day. I know they are working on the electrical boxes here and it is for safety, but why does it happen day after day? How many more days will it go on? They know it is hot and uncomfortable here with no fan or AC but keep doing it anyway instead of planning things to minimize shut offs. Do you ever get aggravated with a utility company? What do you do about it?

I'm sorry they've been doing that every day. I hope they have the problem taken care of now and you don't suffer from no electricity.

Thank you. It would be easier to deal with if it was not so ghastly hot.

@just4him It may cool down later. There is tropical storm Kirk headed this way and two more following. These storms often bring in a cold front.

@akalinus I hope it cools off for you now that Autumn has arrived. We've got nice cool temps here and I'm hoping they last.

@akalinus I'm amazed to know that it happens in a country like the USA. I live in a small town and here we rarely have interruptions in power supply.

I like to say that I have the world's worst electric company. I know it is not true but there have been a lot of interruptions lately.

Do they at least prevent people about the hours they are going to take the electricity off? This sound pretty rude.

It has always been in the daytime. Nighttime outages are from different causes such as a blown transformer or a car hitting a pole.

@akalinus Have you asked to the administrator if this is normal?

@LadyDuck It is best not to complain about anything around here. There is one guy in charge. The park is owned by an out-of-state company and there is no way to communicate with them. They left the one guy as manager and there is no appeal whatsoever.

I am trying to set online working hours so I have time for other things and so I won't be so stressed out. All these interruptions of power do not help the stress level at all.

@amadeo I could understand this happening a couple of days in a row but it is getting ridiculous now.

Ooof that is annoying. Did they not get an eta of how long they would be doing this? Ours always tells us when our water or electricity or gas is going to be iffy and normally how long it will take.

They never tell me, it just goes off. The first time, I went over to where they were working and asked. They said an hour or so. I told them that there was a wasp nest in my electric box. One of them came over and sprayed it and knocked the nest out. I thought that was the end of the interruptions but they keep happening.

@akalinus That has to be frustrating. I can only imagine, hopefully they will be done with their work soon and hey at least they knocked out the wasp nest so that is good!

They told us that we would have our internet OFF in a few hours. We are not happy, but what can we do about it really! (I might use my mobile data. )

I can use my data too. What stressed me was that it was so stinking hot and I felt like I was dying with no fan.

This was not the whole park, only my house and the ones near me, everyone on the same circuit.
