Yay for Jonathan!

At work we've recently had to deal with MTC and have them install
additional circuits into our radio site in Moundridge.  They had
to dig in a new cable as they had run out of capacity.  They wanted
to schedule a meet, so we agreed to 9 AM on a Friday (we had to
get our company's backhoe operator as his machine has a narrow
bucket to dig out between railroad ties).  We arrived at 5 till
9 to find the clowns already digging!  Apparently, they decided
we weren't going to show since we hadn't arrived by 8:45...

Suffice it to say, the clown that set up the meet time was the
one running their backhoe and he conveniently hooked into and
ripped apart the ground system for the building.  Then if I hadn't
stopped things, they'd have torn into the cable feeding the
crossing signal in town...Ahhhh the joy!

Go get 'em Jonathan!
