Unbelivable

So I used to work for an engineering company whose name will remain secret (but I'll give you a hint, its a civil/geotechnical company who's name rhymes with "PAW Blengineering") So I'm a total noob, an intern, and I get sent to monitor a drill site. Well, access had to be made by a bulldozer. Unfortunately, the area was not rural but a grown over lot in the middle of the city. So the 'dozer operator is pushing down trees and other random green stuff so I could scope the site out for soil test boring locations for a new building. I figure the guy is looking up as well as down, but he wasn't. I turn my head up to see Mr. Dozer Operator pushing over a tree directly towards a power pole. I'm waving my arms, screaming over the sound of diesel engine and deaf heavy equipment operator to no avail. Next thing I knew the next several blocks are powerless, and I'm surrounded by power company employees. Remember, I was an intern. I couldn't handle this situation, so what do I do? Call the boss. Know what he said? "Don't tell them what company you work for! No matter what!"
