<v Speaker 1>Jerry Katy and Josh one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>Well storms hit again last night in the Mile High City.

<v Speaker 3>Woke me up about Uh.

<v Speaker 2>It was like right around eleven midnight, just that crazy

<v Speaker 2>rain and wind and.

<v Speaker 3>Possible hail again last night. It was nutty. The lightning

<v Speaker 3>was absolutely ridiculous.

<v Speaker 4>Well, I saw a lot of areas across the state

<v Speaker 4>getting hit with floods, like unexpected floodwaters.

<v Speaker 3>Bad weather again, real bad weather.

<v Speaker 1>So hope everyone's safe out there.

<v Speaker 3>Well.

<v Speaker 2>And then right around one thirty last night, I heard

<v Speaker 2>my son shuffling around and then I saw like lights

<v Speaker 2>getting flashed in the house and stuff, and he had.

<v Speaker 3>His flashlight out. I guess the power went out.

<v Speaker 2>Oh no, right around one thirty, which is it's annoying

<v Speaker 2>because then you lay there and you're wondering, you know, well,

<v Speaker 2>how's this morning gonna go and when's it gonna come

<v Speaker 2>back on? But thank god, Excel called me seven times,

<v Speaker 2>okay to know what was going on my phone rang

<v Speaker 2>it was I should go back and look. I think

<v Speaker 2>it was seven times, and I keep my phone on silent,

<v Speaker 2>but I do still have it on vibrate in case

<v Speaker 2>there's an emergency, So you know, I'm laying there and

<v Speaker 2>I get them.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then you feel it in you here.

<v Speaker 2>You know, as I'm trying to doze back off because

<v Speaker 2>I'm already thinking about the power off. But they called

<v Speaker 2>me to let me know that my power went out.

<v Speaker 2>They called me again to let me know that they

<v Speaker 2>are working.

<v Speaker 3>On restoring my power.

<v Speaker 2>They called me again and said the power beyond by three,

<v Speaker 2>and then they called me again and said four.

<v Speaker 3>And then they called me again and said five.

<v Speaker 2>Oh no, And then I heard the power come back on.

<v Speaker 2>And then I got another phone.

<v Speaker 3>Call to let me know that the power had been

<v Speaker 3>turned back on.

<v Speaker 2>So thank you Excel for keeping me updated on my

<v Speaker 2>power situation.

<v Speaker 1>Did they do this in the daytime hours?

<v Speaker 4>Two?

<v Speaker 1>Do they keep you updated?

<v Speaker 2>I've never I think they do. Yeah, I don't know.

<v Speaker 2>I got sucked into something. I must have signed up

<v Speaker 2>for something. It must alerts yeah where I'm it and

<v Speaker 2>calls and it's not fun when it's two in the

<v Speaker 2>morning and my phone.

<v Speaker 1>Is oh, I would be so annoyed, and it.

<v Speaker 2>Was so it was excessive. I appreciate the alerts, but hey,

<v Speaker 2>your powers off? Yeah, I know, I know, Hey, your

<v Speaker 2>powers back on?

<v Speaker 3>Hey? Thanks? I noticed what was.

<v Speaker 1>Your son doing at one thirty in the morning.

<v Speaker 3>He gets a little freaked out when you hear the

<v Speaker 3>power go out, because you can hear it, you hear everything.

<v Speaker 3>You know. He's got a fan in his room and

<v Speaker 3>it goes off, so.

<v Speaker 2>He gets a little like I get that that, so

<v Speaker 2>he immediately has to.

<v Speaker 3>Wake everybody up and let us know that the power

<v Speaker 3>is out.

<v Speaker 1>I thought he was like down in his little three

<v Speaker 1>D printer.

<v Speaker 2>The other thing I found extremely concerning is the amount

<v Speaker 2>of stuff that just turns on in my house after

<v Speaker 2>the power kicks on, because I went, you know, after

<v Speaker 2>I fell back asleep and went downstairs.

<v Speaker 3>Then when my alarm finally went off.

<v Speaker 2>The amount of lights that just come on when the

<v Speaker 2>power comes back on. There was a TV on, one

<v Speaker 2>of my soundbars was on. I walked in our office

<v Speaker 2>and my wife's complete work from home setup was just on.

<v Speaker 3>What lights in my garage on?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I guess a lot of this stuff in

<v Speaker 2>my home is power sensitive.

<v Speaker 3>So if it goes out and comes back on, it's

<v Speaker 3>just on.

<v Speaker 1>It's automatically. I wonder if there's a switch for that

<v Speaker 1>or setting.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but I instantly am thinking, Okay, So

<v Speaker 2>what if we're out of town for a week or something,

<v Speaker 2>power goes off. We get home and everything's on and

<v Speaker 2>it's been running. I want a discount from excelf.

<v Speaker 3>That's the case.

<v Speaker 1>Well at Lisa, look like someone's home and.

<v Speaker 3>Always positive. Yet an issue at the post office yesterday.

<v Speaker 4>So I went in to mail some stuff and you

<v Speaker 4>know how you have to go up to the counter

<v Speaker 4>and you're not quite ready. So they're like, why don't

<v Speaker 4>you go out to that back counter and fill the

<v Speaker 4>stuff out and then come back right okay, So I get.

<v Speaker 1>To the front of the line.

<v Speaker 4>They tell me to do that, go fill out some

<v Speaker 4>stuff at the back counter, and then when I'm ready again,

<v Speaker 4>I go back to the line and I get into

<v Speaker 4>the back of the line.

<v Speaker 1>That's the pause you should write, exactly.

<v Speaker 4>And so I get to the back of the line

<v Speaker 4>and I wait my turn again, and all of a

<v Speaker 4>sudden there's this lady and she did the same thing.

<v Speaker 4>She got to you know, she was being served at

<v Speaker 4>the counter and they told her you're not ready yet,

<v Speaker 4>go fill this stuff out.

<v Speaker 1>At the back.

<v Speaker 4>She went and did that, and instead of getting back

<v Speaker 4>into the back of the line like real humans do,

<v Speaker 4>she decided she was going to stand to the side

<v Speaker 4>of everybody and just wait until the person motioned her like,

<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, you don't have to wait in line again,

<v Speaker 4>come on up to the front.

<v Speaker 1>That is not how it works, and you could tell

<v Speaker 1>the person.

<v Speaker 4>The person who was serving her like looked at me

<v Speaker 4>first to see if I was going to be okay

<v Speaker 4>with it, because I was the next person in line.

<v Speaker 4>She was cutting in front of me, and I just

<v Speaker 4>kind of smell them. It was like, it's fine because

<v Speaker 4>I wasn't going to create a scene right there in

<v Speaker 4>the post office. But also the person in front of me,

<v Speaker 4>right they had just said, hey, you were here before me,

<v Speaker 4>why don't you go ahead?

<v Speaker 1>And I was like, no, that's tr totally fine, you

<v Speaker 1>do it.

<v Speaker 4>That's very nice to you to say, but you go

<v Speaker 4>ahead and get your stuff taken care of first first

<v Speaker 4>and behind me. Even I took a little bit of

<v Speaker 4>extra time when I finally filled everything out and the

<v Speaker 4>counterperson said this is gonna take a minute, and so

<v Speaker 4>I turned around and I told the gentleman, thank you

<v Speaker 4>so much for being patient. I know you probably a

<v Speaker 4>place so much kindness, and he was like, it's fine,

<v Speaker 4>take your time. I've got plenty of time today, so

<v Speaker 4>everyone was super kind except for this one unhuman like

<v Speaker 4>lady who didn't feel like standing in line.

<v Speaker 1>She thought she was above it. And boy, that drives

<v Speaker 1>me crazy when.

<v Speaker 3>People do you speak in the moment?

<v Speaker 4>Well, because again, I'm not going to cause a scene.

<v Speaker 4>I just feel like this was an older woman.

<v Speaker 1>She should know. I also feel.

<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not gonna make a scene. I'm just gonna

<v Speaker 2>go on the air tomorrow morning.

<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, But I feel like once you get to a

<v Speaker 4>certain age, you.

<v Speaker 1>Kind of just like the rules anymore.

<v Speaker 3>But let me ask you something.

<v Speaker 2>Do you know if the counter attended at the post

<v Speaker 2>office said, hey, when you're done, just come right back.

<v Speaker 3>Up to the front. I don't know if she did

<v Speaker 3>or not, but we don't know that situation.

<v Speaker 4>I was in the same situation as this lady just

<v Speaker 4>moments before, and she didn't tell me that. She didn't say,

<v Speaker 4>when you're done filling that out, come right back up

<v Speaker 4>to the front. She just said, go fill out your

<v Speaker 4>staf lady, come back when you're ready.

<v Speaker 1>Same lady.

<v Speaker 3>Maybe she didn't like you.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. That's part of this conversation.

<v Speaker 4>And I know, right, come on, I'm super friendly, but no,

<v Speaker 4>it definitely irked me. I was like, I feel like,

<v Speaker 4>this is just that's common that's etiquette.

<v Speaker 3>It's common knowledge, common knowledge.

<v Speaker 2>You don't go right back up and cut in front,

<v Speaker 2>you get back in line because you were not prepared.

<v Speaker 4>I was not the only person who looked at this

<v Speaker 4>lady like the heck you think.

<v Speaker 3>Nobody spoke up? Nobody's speaking of She.

<v Speaker 1>Was an elderly lady. I don't think anybody really wanted.

<v Speaker 2>To call her out in a loud voice because she

<v Speaker 2>probably can't hear too well.

<v Speaker 4>This was one of those those, you know, post offices

<v Speaker 4>that served as another business, so it was a post

<v Speaker 4>office slash boutique shop. So I didn't know if they

<v Speaker 4>just didn't want to throw down right there in the

<v Speaker 4>middle of the.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it really was.

<v Speaker 3>I've never heard of this.

<v Speaker 1>Post offish slash slash what they had.

<v Speaker 4>They had little knickknacks, they had purses, they had shoes,

<v Speaker 4>they had uh, you know, birthday cards.

<v Speaker 2>Who takes the mail though, Okay, it was the same

<v Speaker 2>l It's a post office and it sometimes I got

<v Speaker 2>gas stations, so.

<v Speaker 1>They had a post office within their business.

<v Speaker 3>That's kind of cute.

<v Speaker 4>Like, I didn't know if people just didn't want to,

<v Speaker 4>you know, start something right there and you know, break

<v Speaker 4>some stuff. So I was like, maybe we're just all

<v Speaker 4>being calm so we don't break nothing, you know.

<v Speaker 2>Rules.

<v Speaker 3>I guess it irked me, and I just.

<v Speaker 4>Like, again, thankfully the person in front of me and

<v Speaker 4>behind me were so kind.

<v Speaker 1>That could have ended a little bit.

<v Speaker 2>I think the moral of the story for you is

<v Speaker 2>to show up prepared to the post office so you

<v Speaker 2>don't have to step to the side.

<v Speaker 1>But I needed her help, Like, that's the thing is.

<v Speaker 4>I needed to overnight something and then I needed them

<v Speaker 4>to overnight it back to me.

<v Speaker 1>So I needed to.

<v Speaker 4>Ask her what the best cheapest way to do that was,

<v Speaker 4>you know. So that was what I needed to talk

<v Speaker 4>to her about. And then she told me, gave go

<v Speaker 4>fill this out and had me go fill it out.

<v Speaker 3>So what were you mailing?

<v Speaker 1>I was mailing drug.

<v Speaker 3>Take a couple of year. I gotta get this to

<v Speaker 3>a guy to mail it back. I needed to get

<v Speaker 3>this to a.

<v Speaker 2>Guy in Rhode Island immediately, and then I need it back.

<v Speaker 3>Proplying for a job. And I need this room back quick, ma'am.

<v Speaker 3>Get out of line.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah,
