Bird Dogging
I worked until 7 last night, which isn't too bad considering we had about 7000 customers out like 20 inches of snow. I had to drive around and do this thing called "bird-dogging" where we get a list of addresses of customers who have wires down or partial power and verify if they are MGE wires or just cable or telelphone wires. So I was walking around in peoples backyards with potentialy dangerous wires laying in the snow right next to me. No big deal. Then when I came home I had to shovel the heaviest snow ever for 2 hours. Made my night. My arms are so sore now. Then it took 2 hours to drive to work this morning, perfect. Lets just say I'm a little on edge right now and the 2 cups of coffee I just had probably isn't going help.

If it makes you feel better, Emily and I shoveled together for probably an hour before work yesterday, just to clear half the driveway plus the 4 foot pile the plow left. Then we got home from work and I spent another 2 hours finishing the other half of the driveway and the sidewalk. So all things considered, 2 man hours isn't so bad. See, optimism is easy! :-)
Did you walk through my back yard? My neighbor's phone and cable lines were ripped off her house by a pine branch falling while Emily and I watched.
