Blackout!!

We had a blackout a few days ago.

All because some power worker cut one too many wires trying to install an alert device. Hey, it made the workday short. And, fortunately, I work on the second floor so I was able to avoid the crush of people getting on the elevator.

I feel bad for the person who cut the wires. I can totally understand that sinking feeling you get when you've just done a major boo-boo and you KNOW you can't take it back. I can imaging them holding the wirecutters, staring at the snipped wires. Just staring. Staring. For a good five minutes as the blood rushed out of their head.

Fortunately, the power was back in a few hours and all was good again.

Hey, we all make mistakes. It's just that some are doozies!
