AC Overload

This afternoon as I was working away using 2, maybe 3 computer programs simultaneously, the power decided to go off. Nearly that whole side of town went powerless. Naturally, my first thought was @#!$%^!!! For others, the gripe was that it went off in the last few seconds of the PGA tournament. TV's were blaring out of three rooms. Not a sports fan, so I didn't care about that.

First there was total silence (which, I believe to be the sound of disbelief, at that moment. Then, "Hey, who didn't pay the bill" "What happened?" "Hey!!" Two of my coworkers came out of their offices giggling and fussing and we were all chattering deciding on what caused it. Then we heard this muffled voice from behind the wall of my bosses office (which has no windows and hence, no light) that said, (cover mouth for effect HERE)"SOMEBODY OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"

I still can't stop laughing about it! He said all he could see was his watch dial. We asked him if he was scared in there. Whew, that was really funny! (wiping tears)

We guessed it was because of air conditioner overload since it was in the 90's today and humid.

Well, that was the most interesting thing that happened all day. The rest of the day I just worked happily because I worked Sunday and got all caught up so there is no panting for time to do now. If I can manage to stay on top of it, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
