For the past week, a notice has been posted at the entrance of our subdivision announcing the water would be cut off on Wednesday (today) from 9am to 12pm.
We all planned accordingly. There's plenty of construction work going around the outside road.
So, I'm taking a late shower @ 8:20 and - to my horror - the water slowly drizzles out (just as I am shampooing).
Blast!
After using a towel to wipe the shampoo out of my hair, I called the Baton Rouge Water Company to file a complaint.
I was put on hold. Probably indefinitely.
Surprisingly the lady came back on and informed me she had checked and said the water had been shut off early because of an emergency...the construction workers BROKE the pipe.
A likely story.
It's not like construction workers EVER break anything or disrupt our lives.
These prison rejects stand on the side of the road not paying any attention, chatting on their cell phones to their baby's mama.
Because it doesn't matter to them.
They walk across the street into oncoming traffic texting, holding stop signs that are askew to traffic.
Not a care.
They huddle on the side of the road, having a pre-lunch-break at 10:13 in the morning.
No doubt planning a jail break.
No care.
Who am I going to complain to about them? Their supervisor?
He doesn't care, either.
They either die in prison or become roadkill on the side of the highway. It doesn't matter.
Nah, couldn't have been them.
A likely story, indeed.
