I now work on the distribution side, though. So I shouldn’t bump into too many angry people, other than those who have dealt with main replacement recently and if they had their boulevards, driveways, yards and whatnot torn up, I might be the target of their ire. But then I can just make sure that they direct their anger towards our construction department.

Ha, I'm dealing with that right now. The MDC (local water mafia) is digging up my whole street and putting in new lines. I know it's for the best and that they probably have rights of way legally and all that. Still I get the territorial rage a little bit when random dudes be digging on my land. The only time I called the cops was when a dump truck driver backed up and sunk his front tire into my lawn, destroyed all the curbing on the road, and didn't say shit or even leave a note. I showed the webcam footage to the cop who was like I work with this guys everyday so I'm not arresting them but I'll make sure they fix it. And they did fix the curb. Other than that I'm basically just putting grass seed on the mud the left (fairly level I will say). One of them even made fun of me as he drove by on the bulldozer saying "hey you feeding the chickens?" Lol. They are all pretty cool though they have been working on my street all winter so we are kind of situational friends. One guy is a Subaru guy and commented on how many Subarus I own. Used to have 400+ hp STi he claims. I was telling him how I have more fun with the BRZ than the STi sleeper but he gave me the skeptical eye.
