Yesterday, we were minding our own business trying to work when suddenly…POW!
The electricity went out. Well, not really. Half of the electricity went out. Most computers crashed. Mine, amazingly, did not–but since the servers crashed I couldn’t do anything anyway. Our phone system went out on the second floor, but not on the first floor. Lights on the east side of the building were out, but not on the west side. When I went home, I changed into my biking clothes in the locker room, where there were lights; but the lights were out in the bathroom next to the locker room. In the server room, the computers and the scanning machine had no power; but the fan in the corner was working (albeit at a much too slow rotation as it didn’t have full power).
Turns out that one of the fuses at the transformer blew. The utilties company had to come to repair it. This meant I got to go home early since there was nothing we could do work-wise until it was fixed.
Man, I’m so glad only normal stuff happens to me….
