Power Outages

We just had a power outage that lasted about a hour, first the lights dimmed then 45 seconds later we hear a loud pop and the lights go out, turns out a tree up the street from our office fell on the power line and blew a transformer. They got the power back up but the tree is still on the power lines so I bet it could go out again when they cut the tree down...

Stupid wind!!!

What a day so far, now what was I working on... hmm? I froget. haha

Wait. This is important for me to understand your dire circumstances.

Clarify:

Office = Bar
or
Office = Work?

If Office = Bar + No Power = Warm Beer, you have a problem.

If Office = Work + No Power = Still getting paid to redo what you already did once.. I'm not seeing a problem?

Office = Work + No Power = No Dev on new tg stuff... (We where planing to launch some new stuff i've been working on)

Important update to plan. Strip cops of footware and have them form a chain from the power line to the ground, this will re route the power away from the tree which will now be safe for you to move.

Need to know basis. Hey, if something goes wrong, it's not your headache. That's how I look at it with my current job. They do things, don't tell me, problems pop up. I refer them to the people who installed it since no one told me about it.

I still get paid

And they still pay you. You're not complaining at you?

I don't get in trouble, I just get ignored around here. One person came into my office today to ask about the curling league. Other than that, no one even knows I'm here.

Every 2 weeks a bunch of numbers magically pop into my bank account. I've talked to a few people on the phone today though.. no one within 500 miles of me though.

Did I mention I just got a 10% pay increase and a 15% of my salary cash bonus?

No? Oh, I did.

Plus, I'm going to Panama City, FL for work during spring break. All expenses paid - car, hotel, flight, and $120 in food/beverages a day. I can afford to swing a little cash to buy some drinks.

Ahh.. the life indeed.

What part of town is the office in? One of these days I want to be invited to come and say hello.

Westlake Village...


On a side note our new T1 is up and running, no more slow internet.

Westlake Village...
As located several hours LA driving time from any airport.


And web design issues seem to have developed a special place in my heart of late....
