Just like the 100,000 or so other people across the OKC metro who have been without electric power at their residence since last Tuesday morning, I've been on the receiving end of a barrage of vague, repetitive and totally useless emails and text messages from OG&E letting me know the power outage in my area was being "assessed."
Here's one of the 16 emails that I received from last Tuesday through Saturday:
Although I first appreciated OG&E's half-assed effort to keep me informed of the situation, the notifications got old for me and, oh, the hundreds of thousands of other people without power across the metro. This is because when they first popped up in your inbox, the notifications would get your hopes up that either:
A) Power was restored, or
B) OG&E had an ETA on when power would be restored.
