i live in a small town type of area. the meter guy is the same guy who's been coming for three and a half years. my yard is completely fenced in, and i have a total of twenty warning signs up. they've been up since we first moved in. there is a note on the gate for people to ring the bell, but do not enter the gate.

this guy that's been coming around was busted kicking my dog after we first moved in. why? because she was barking at him. she was on a lead, and he walked all the way through the yard to kick her. after that, the power company sent out another meter guy to install a remote meter that they can scan from the drive way.

this guy is still the one who checks the meter. i can only assume that his sorry ass is the one who hit my dog on the head.

yep. i didn't know that they would put in a spy meter though... i have the lizards' lights on 16/8, and the heat and ac on 12/12. i'm hoping (not realy ) that they do raid me, as the house is clean. then they can look like fools... but, i'm still trying to find out if they actualy can see the power from a different location. the meter doesnt' look any different from the last one, and there are no phone lines coming out of it, no antenna...what i'm wondering is if they just replaced the meter incase the other was faulty. they told me they thought i had a bad meter...

but still, the ass didn't have to hit my dog. my brother was home, and would have called her in if the guy had just rang the damn bell.

once again. forgive my morbid sense of humor, and understand that i'm as responsible now as i always have been, i'm just taking pills instead of smoking med. makes for a different 'tude at times....

thanx stinky, i have filed a complaint, they said they would investigate it. probably call the power company and ask about it. (small hick town; humane society is the cruelest of all around here)

i also plan on talking to the meter guy personally. i'm going to inform him that i'm installing a surveilance camera because someone came into my yard and attacked my dog. if he hears anything...

electricians, please tell me if there is a radio meter or something that they can spy on me with; searches are leading me in the wrong direction...
Scarlet Sky Reviewed by Scarlet Sky on . hey! all you electricians out there; I NEED YOUR HELP! ok, if you know me, then you know that i have had a problem with my power company. they are investigating my power consumption (which has always been high because of all my appliances) and they installed a new meter the other day. they didnt ask me if they can do this, they hit my dog on the head with something, and supposedly are monitoring our power consumption. can they do that? can they realy monitor my power, like how much is being used at what times and such? can they see a 400w Rating: 5
