Gotta love it when you lose power


So here I am sittin at work and the lights flicker a few times... no big deal.... then all the power goes out for oh like 20 seconds... again no big deal .... like 20 mins later its all completely out so we phone BC hydro see if its worth stayin at work or just pack it up and call it a day.... Turns out that like 90% of BC Apparently has lost power.... and so of course everyone is a mad rush to get ahold of people and half the phone lines aren't working.... here I am tryin to be nice and pick up my little brothers from school for my mom cuz she was out of town... and the school had LOST kids INSIDE the school!!!!!!!! Who does that!!!!! I understand kids are hyper but it so finally track down the kids and then the teacher proceeds to tell me that I couldnt take the kids cuz she didnt know me (new teacher) even tho I have been talkin to all the other ones... (yeah they arent bright) So needless to say its been an intresting afternoon!!! thankfully power was only out an hr where i am and my fish are all right

Fishgurl - What a story about picking up your brothers from school! Arrrggghh!

I can't say that I love power outages, though

We lost power for about 4 hours in my city when a substation nearby shot flames a hundred feet in the sky. Oil cooled transformer caught fire.

I don't like when it happens. More so now that I no longer have a generator.
