Last night was fine until about 3 AM, when I'm pretty sure everyone's power in about 5 or 6 counties went out all at once, in several areas each, due to wind, tree limbs, and even uprooted poles. My power rarely goes out for anything but the very worst of storms, so when I started working, I was surprised to find out how even mildly bad weather will almost always result in someone losing electric. I love how a lot of people frame their call ins though. It's often, "We've run out of electric." as if there were a tap somewhere, and their reservoir went dry. Or how some people will ask to be bumped higher on the list, as if we were restoring houses one at a time. But I don't really expect them to know how power companies work, these things truly just tickle me, though I don't tell the callers since I doubt they'd appreciate my mirth. It's not at their expense, or anything, just people's view of the world is unendingly fascinating to me. 

But seriously, it was really bad. I left a half hour late, making my shift 10.5 hours without a break since 3 am. I woke up tired, but a cup of coffee set me right. Now I'm just kind of like, "I wonder what I want to do with my day."

Right now, I've got Sunday night and Monday night, then I'm off Tuesday evening, Wednesday and Thursday evening, with Friday day off. I'd go in on Friday at 10 PM, and work Saturday 10 pm and Sunday 10 PM.

I get doubles on my helping of working on the weekend because of my genius boss. I'm not bitter! ^_^;

But, yeah. Maybe we should hang out if you're free on a time I'm off.

As previously intimated, my schedule is wide open. Give me a call Tuesday or something. I'll bring the box of Magic cards I recently discovered in the trunk of my car.

Ooh! Sorry you had such a rough storm, glad to hear you are okay though!

That sounds interesting. Random boxes of Magic cards are pretty much the grab-bags of the gaming world, too.

It was amazingly bad. Surreally bad, even. Luckily, at least my power didn't go out. ^_^;
