It's not my fault, really.....updated

See, a while ago....Oh, I don't know sometime around 6 or 7, our power went out.

Right in the middle of a run of GTA IV, I might add.

Well, as you might imagine, the lights were out for some time.

I have to admit that I felt a bit crippled without electricity. All my 1st thoughts....check email, watch a movie, play a video game...

Yeah, not gonna happen without electromoticity (my made up word for it today). So, we endured. I read a book, and txted Michael for a bit. I even got a bit creative with my tripod and tried my hand at some more light painting.

Since I'm using Flickr now, I'm just going to post a link, and not the photos. If you go over there, please leave me a comment.....

But, I digress....

As I'm talking with Michael (he decided to just call) and taking some pix, Dave, fed up with the boredom of no power offers gambling and drinking. Michael and I end our call, and it's off to the boozearium, aka the casino. As I walk out to the cab, I see that not only are the parking lot lights on, but everyone seems to have power.

Everyone but us that is. Needless to say, I was a bit miffed.

Sitting at the machine, and facilitated by the cockail waitress (who got us the number), I call SPPC, and after hitting a few buttons, I'm told by the lady on the phone that I need to reset 'the outside breaker,' and that that is not their responsibility. She does tell me it's near the electric meter though.

So, I get home, can't find the fucking thing, so I call the number again...After some walking around, find the fucking meter, and sure enough, there's a breaker switch there, right near a meter and a panel painted with our unit number....

I flip the fucking switch (whose existence i was totally unaware of until tonight) and the power comes back on.....

Yeah, I'm still kinda pissed.

Ok, so go check out my pix.

Buenos con queso,

T.

UPDATE there was a problem with my new photos not showing up, but i fixed it...
