Same here.
Well, at the old commercial building I worked at they had to replace the pole that our 3 phase transformer was on. The pole started to warp, and once it was off center, the bend in the pole increased slowly. It only served our building. They did call to schedule the replacement. We told them Friday about noon was perfect. We pulled the power to the 3 phase panel to the equipment, and we went home early on Friday.
It was really tough to leave early.
