Lights Out!

Thursday, August 14, 2003

The power went out just now at work, and we slowly learned that it wasn’t just us, but the whole block… then the whole city… then the whole region… now I’ve learned it’s all southern Ontario and parts of the eastern U.S. including New York State.

I blame the Second Coming.

*Update:*
Power finally returned to my apartment about 5 minutes ago! (9am on Saturday) So of course, the first thing I do is go online to check email!.  I guess I can expect rolling blackouts for a while though.

And those of you wondering how I posted the above entry during the blackout:  We have an emergency generator at work that kept us up and running while the food in my freezer thawed into a warm gloopy mess.

So if you’ve got no power, how did you update your blog?  I went without power for a whole weekend once.  I want to say it was because my roommate at the time didn’t pay the power bill and we couldn’t get it turned back on until Monday, but it might have been me that didn’t pay it.

I blame the Second Coming for everything.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I get hit by lightning…
