FPL, Waste Management

Our new supervisor Steve called me a while ago. Dan, the other guy we had quit, so we have Steve now, real nice guy too. He was letting me know to call FPL now and setup a new account. Not a transfer but a new account. I called them and got a dumb person on the other end, big surprise huh. After repeating that I needed a new account not a transfer, she said power cannot be turned on until a Certificate of Occupany is issued. Now she didnt immediately understand how dumb that sounded until I pointed out that you cant live there because there is no power, and they have to inspect the electric work first, WHICH REQUIRES POWER. My frustration is that we are in very fast growing area, which means Isa and I are certainly not the only people building a home.. You would think this was a routine phonecall, but no, it was all a surprise to "Martina". FPL, if by some crazy unlikely coincidence you click on my website and read this, give "Martina" some more training. Anyways it turns out the builder (or the city) can call and get temporary power for these few weeks the contractors/inspectors are out there. I just needed to create a new account for them to call and reference.
I have to call WasteManagement and setup a new account there too. I dont even know how much trash pickup is but it cant be that much. Well I have all that off my chest now I can sleep better tonite.
