If not for having grown up in the union, I might never have gotten any of our guys to answer their phone on a holiday. I know my dispatchers certainly could never get anyone to pick up so it'd always fall on me to make the call since the trades guys would know it'd be serious enough to come in if they saw my number.

Could not imagine how much of the delay tonight was just in trying to get people to answer, period. And that's even with there being a great likelihood that they already had at least two guys already on duty working holiday OT for initial response.

On top of that, if the transformer was a city or municipal issue, good luck trying to get those folks in.

Oof, yeah, it looks like the City of Tallahassee runs the T&D system there. I support muni electrics (as a former IOU employee, haha), but that is a tuffie…

[u/ResidentJabroni → u/manbeardawg]

Yeah, city/municipal workers deal with so much more volume relative to a college campus. I don't blame them for not wanting to pick up the phone on their time off when they regularly get called in at all hours 24/7.

With how big FSU is, I would hope they would own the transformer. I can’t imagine how much of a nightmare it would be for the Muni to handle the gazillion “services” on that campus if FSU wasn’t taking service at 100kV+

[u/mysterious_whisperer → u/ResidentJabroni]

I get what you’re saying generally, but in this particular case a good number of those guys were probably watching the game on tv…or at least trying to. They knew why their phone was ringing.
