The power went off at work today. The emergency generator kicked on and then – poof – everything went black.
My laptop was working thanks to the battery, but anyone without a laptop was pretty much screwed. of course, having your laptop work when everything around you is almost pitch black doesn’t really do much good.
After a field trip through the complex to another building (that had power), a ride on an elevator (where Linda B. and I prayed we would get stuck because we thought it might be funny and adventurous), and a long walk back (with fingers crossed that the power was still off), my cool boss said I could take off and work from home since it was pretty much useless to stay.
It’s insanely windy today. Like 50 MPH winds. I tried rather foolishly to take a picture, but of course, you can’t SEE wind. So instead I took a picture of Lola looking outside at the wind.
Ok, now time to WORK.
It was insanely windy in Denver as well. Our weather forecast said “hurricane force winds”. They tend to pick up speed as they roll down off the mountains.
