If you’re a power company, it’s your job to supply power. Simple, no? Apparently, if you’re BGE in Baltimore, the answer actually is no.
All summer long Kmart and I have been suffering planned power outages at the hands of BGE. They’ll send us a letter a few weeks in advance to let us know that they’re going to hang us out to dry, power-wise, and if we don’t like it we can go take a flying fuck. Normally it’s just for 8 or 10 hours from midnight on, and that’s not too bad. At least we weren’t running our AC when they did those.
But I just got a new letter for another planned outage. For 30 hours.
30 hours!? Are you fucking KIDDING me!? Do you even know that turning off our power for 30 hours runs completely contrary to your job of providing me some fucking E-lec-tricity? Ridiculous walnut brained ass monkeys.
In what other industry do they take their services away and then expect you to like it? Can you imagine walking into a bank and having them tell you that you wouldn’t be able to access your cash for 30 hours in the next week? At least you can withdrawal some cash to have available in advance. Where the fuck am I supposed to horde electricity? I can’t just put it in a cardboard box in the corner of the basement BGE.
Yeah, I guess a generator would work, but BGE could also do their goddamned jobs.
