When I got to work, about 20% of the lights were on. Apparently, we’re on the same electrical grid that the stoplight two blocks away is, as that was also out. On the plus side, this was the first time in YEARS I’ve even seen an officer directing traffic. I guess the fact it’s a five-way intersection that’s full of fail to begin with necessitated it. I did think it was funny that the police officer stayed in his car, while the traffic cop had to be the one in the middle of the street. Hierarchies everywhere.
\nSo while my computer was on, nothing else was – servers, email, internet, or really the heat, as far as I can tell. My fingers and toes and nose are all frozen solid. I used the time to go through some mail & toss some stuff.
\nThen, the power came back on! Glorious! And within seconds, a jackhammer started up, right outside my wall. I don’t think this day is really going my way. But all I can do is laugh…I’m waiting for the sprinklers to come on next, and a swarm of locusts to attack on my way to the garage…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
