I HATE Power-outages!

Recommended Posts

Geez... why can't people of today get a free 5 hour generator with every new purchase of a house. My opinion is either give people generators OR LOWER THEIR CRAZED PRICE! About 7:30PM last night my power went off right when I was in the middle of important work. And since it was electronical I COULDN'T FINISH! Good thing stuff like that has a save button. I probably lost maybe a paragraph of my work. By the time the power came on I was snoozing. The estimated time for power to return was 1:00AM, but it really cam on at about 11:00PM! A trnsformer EXPLODED and power in a large chunk of town went out. What do YOU think of power-outages?

They suck but they're a fact of life and they happen very infrequently here.

Just be grateful we even have electricity :)

<3 farscape -- i miss that show

I love power outages at school. They do have a backup system that leaves one light (in a grid of about 5x5 covering the ceiling) in each classroom on. Not enough for most people to work with, though.

Power outages are the cause of many lost hours of Progress Quest progress nationwide.

Don't let this happen to you.

(This has been a public announcement from Nanami, who has lost almost 11 hours of progress due to power outages)

Power outages rule. Its like 'yay...lets live like the pioneers'! Speaking of which, who the fuck were these 'pioneers' I hear so much about? And why the fuck were they all living in the woods without electricity and pissing in buckets? And what exactly were they pioneering? Living like savages? I think we already did that several millenia ago, so they're a we bit late on that one.
