deary diary,
it's been an exciting morning. i woke up at 4:30am to my computer's battery backup beeping because the power went out. for a 20 minute battery, it died rather quickly (i.e. in 2 minutes).
then i woke up at 8 and had 30 minutes to get ready and drive to work. took a quick shower to try and conserve hot water. then i stepped out and noticed it was extra cold. oh yeah, my house was at 50 degrees since the heat wasn't working.
then i was talking with someone at work in their office, and looked outside to see a transformer blow up. it was an awesome blue ball of electricity. and loud.
now our microwaves at work don't work, so i can't eat my chicken i brought in. guess it's time to order from tickle's deli!
