YAY!

We got the power back on! And the Cable/Internet too! What a wacky day, six and a half hours ago, the lights in (only) the bedrooms and bathrooms went out which knocked out the internet too... The fridge and garbage disposal were hit too I figured out, as we tried the breakers. Turned on the TV to check it, still had a signal... Then POOF, the cable was gone... Fifteen minutes later the rest of the power in the apartment goes out. The hallways only have emergency lighting, etc. Fortunately I had called when there was still just a partial outage, so techs from both companies were already on scene. The whole complex was out. They dug up the underground cable & had tower trucks on the poles...

What a trip. Got to finally check out that Margaritas in East Hartford though - and that was great.

You can spit and hit where I work from that Margarita's.

Oh god, I'm in PA right now so I can't check on the power. Do you know if the whole block was out? I'm worrying about the cats because I left the A/C on for them, but if the power went out and it's not back on... :(

Gonna call our building manager right now.
