Have you ever had a nice day off and then wished super hard that you didn't have to work the next day? That was me on Wednesday. Still, like a responsible little worker bee I came into the hive on Thursday morning ready to work.
It should have been a day like any other, only it wasn't. For lo! At 8:26 am, just about when I was leaving for work, the building experienced a power outage. In fact, all of the power was knocked out of my building, and only my building, out of the whole campus. After two hours on site, touching bases with my coworkers and coordinating for our guest arrival today, my boss sent me home for the day. Even better, it was just the kind of day on which I best like not working: sunny and clear.
"Freeeedom!" I cried once securely locked in my car.
So what did I do with my found time? Lunch with my fiance, and then a little shopping trip to pick up a curtain rod for my lovely sari curtains that need to go up in my home "office". After that I indulged in an afternoon nap on the office divan, and once I'd stretched and shaken off the nap grogginess, I set about working on the prologue to the serial fiction (which should be ready to post sometime in May). After that, I jaunted over to our baker for a cake tasting and then indulged in a delightful sushi dinner with my sweetie.
So what happened to the office building power? Apparently the circuit breaker blew or some such, and the engineers were able to have it all up and running in time for us to resume normal activity. So here I am, with a healthy respect for the system poltergeists who so obligingly provided me with a gorgeous day off.
