Power outtages are fun!
This was an eventful night. So Thursday night we were out of power, right? All night, and into the morning. Power came back on,w as fine until tonight, when apparently a substation caught on fire and all power was shut down for a few hours.
The events in this apartment, though, were hilarious.
We're watching a recorded Doctor Who from Friday night. We are close to the end, when ;
Old Lady : "Thank you! Thank you so much! I don't know who you are, but..." *BBBzzzzzmmmm......*
About 10 seconds later the power came back on.
We laughed, turned off some computer systems, and decided to finish the episode. We get to the end, when.... :
Doctor : "Something's coming...A storm is coming..." *BBZZZZmmmmmmmmmmmmm....*
PERFECT TIMING! At this point, we are laughing at both somewhat creepily coincidental situations.
About 15 minutes later, we decide "Lets see if it's just local. Lets call Gamestop (about 10 minutes away), to see if they have power, since we have a game reserved we need to pick up anyways. (Metal Slug Anthology)
*Ring*
Jeremy : "Hi, this is GameStop (usual corp spiel). This is Jeremy, how can I help you?"
Me : "Hey guys (we're well known at our gamestop), do you still have power? We just lost it a few minutes ago."
Jeremy : "Whaa? Uh, yeah, we have power here..." *BZZZT click silence...*
Me : "No way...hello?"
*redial*
Jeremy : "Hello, Gamestop, (Corp spiel). This is Jeremy, how can I help you?"
Me : "Haha, I was the one who just called, you guys just lost power, huh?"
Jeremy : "Oh man, that was such perfect timing dude, we JUST lost power. We're laughing our asses off here."
Me : "Damn, thats creepy timing, but hilarious. Well we WERE gonna stop by and pick up some reserved games, but..."
Jeremy : "Yeah, no power, sorry man."
Me : "Haha, no problem, stay safe guys."
