After spending the greater part on an hour stumbling through work, only to keep getting booted by the system (come to find out the tech guy was messin' since everyone esle was supposed to be in a training!) things finally came together. i was getting into the groove, a solid 15-20 miuntes of real work had gone by... and *cue techy-dying sounds now* everything (except my trusty ipod) went dead: lights, computer, copiers, etc.
It turned into a treacherous afternoon; trying to handle the phone system (on a back-up battery, but not really working to even half it's potential), not really being able to do much of anything work-wise, and explaining to baffled clients that the evening's group was cancelled.
Apparentally there was a wretched accident up around the Rental Center, cutting out power (by way of a pole or a transformer) to the greater part of uptown. Note: this includes Jonathan's [new] home... so his original plans for the night were vetoed (not to mention the fact his invite was sickly!)
Funny how much we rely on this thing we call electricity these days!
