I didn't have electricity for 24 hours, it was really a bummer...  everyone else in the building had power, it was only me.  Something broke and they couldn't fix it and I ended up having to make endless phone calls leaning on people every minute just to get them to do anything at all!  It is amazing that they can't know there is a problem and

Are you sure that's Dick? He looks like he's flirting with your vase. You have to be human to flirt don't you? LOL.

Did they tell you why you didn't have power for so long?

the small circuits in my apartment were all fine, but the big ass circuit breaker down in the garage area (for my apartment only) was broken.... My maintenance guy couldn't fix it so he had to get an electrician, but the electrician couldn't fix it because the power company had a lock on it, and the power company wouldn't come because my apartment complex rental office was responsible for 100% of up-keep ad repairs of all electronics for the building.... So I had to force the power company to send someone out, and I had to force the rental office to get the electrician back here to meet the power company guy.... if I hadn't come home early from by ceramics class then no one would have done anything and I would still be without any power!
*grrrr argh*

Well Dick had looked really mean when I sculpted him, and even meaner after he was fired, but as soon as I set him on the table next to my flower vase guy they started to flirt with each other! Who would have thought it?

Thank goodness you came home early then. This being a long weekend, who knows how long you would have veen with no power.

What else can you expect from someone named Dick?

Exactly! Everyone waltzes off for a long weekend and I'm stuck here in the dark, not able to cook (I have an electric stove), and rotting food in my rapidly warming refrigerator.... It seems like these things always happen at the worst time: like when I was planning to stay home and watch videos all weekend, and like when I had just bought a bunch of frozen foods that were expensive!

Yep, that stuff never happens when people will be around to help.
