You Need Me On That Wall!: The Snow

The Snow

On my way to work this morning the power was out at two gas stations I tried to get gas from. Does Excel not understand that we have snow every year here. Here's a clue, it will snow again at least one more time this winter!!

How hard would it be to go out in the middle of the day on a nice bright sunshine filled summer day and check the power lines to see if they will hold up to the snow? Put a little tension on the line and see if it breaks. Yeah, sure some of them will break and then people will be out of power. I'm sure if you explain that the power is out on the beautiful summer day so that it won't go out in the middle of the night in the dead of winter, folks will understand.

Some PHB probably fired the guy with common sense for coming up with pain-in-the-ass suggestions like this.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
