The power went out here at work. At first I thought it was the facilities people doing w/e it is they do but it's been out for far too long now. I'm hoping it'll stay out for the rest of my shift, as it's really neat with all the lights off (also I can't do anything). What do you like to do when the power goes out? |

joke_explainer posted:Power has never gone out at my work... well, briefly, but we have backup battery that automatically kicks in and 1 week of diesel for a big ole generator. Only went on battery once for like 15 minutes that I recall and nobody noticed anything different in the office. We've got a bunch of diesel generators as well, but I think they only power the server rooms and other critical components. My job is obviously non-critical. e. I used to work at a not-quite-fast-food place and right as I was about to clock out, the power went out. I had to stick around for two hours putting everything perishable into the walk-in cooler and freezer, washing dishes in the dark (emergency lights weren't working, big surprise), and trying to keep the two managers on duty calm because it wasn't their normal store and they were really worried. We had two ovens at the time, and with little circulation the air in the store got really hot. Didn't help that it was really humid that day either. A few minutes after I left the power came back on.

It happened again. This time, however, it was planned for a different building! Not sure why mine was down too. Gave me time to work on my resume - hopefully I can find a place that can keep the lights on! e. Turns out if something is scheduled for 12am Sunday, please don't start getting ready at 11:50pm Sunday!! Actuarial Fables fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Feb 20, 2017 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003 This was my favorite blackout, as we got to eat all the ice cream in the freezer.  My Dad also got spooked by it and bought a month's worth of non-perishable foods. We still have most of our stockpile. |
