BLACKOUT!

I had a pithy post for you, and about halfway through writing it, we had a building-wide power outage. Supposedly, we have an uninterruptable power system. If we do, waiting for more than a minute to kick in probably doesn't do much good.

Anyway, I had a whole diatribe about the meetings I've had to sit through this morning and this weekend. The main point of contention being that the Guy Who Likes to Talk to Me at the Urinal always sits beside me in our staff meetings, and he won't shut up, and to make matters worse, he has coffee breath that smells like a dung-besmeared dead skunk. And he thinks he's funny.

Thankfully, the other meetings this weekend (printer, caterer, building committee, Sunday school) were devoid of such things. Although I still could have done without them. At least there was cake at the caterer's.

Mmm. Cake.

The News tells us yall (and them, and several in between and beyond) went dark because of a transformer issue.

But, as you're reading this you've ascertained that the problem, as they say, is solved.

I just checked that story--it said in the news alert that they had it back on by noonish, but I guess our generator must have kicked in--ours really wasn't out for more than a minute or two.

I wish I had a home generator.
