h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Had a trying day today. Some brainless wonder from the gas board stuck a pnumatic drill through the power cable in the street and we were without electricity. This lasted from about lunch time to 8pm. All without lights, TV, radio, music, heating, cooking facilities, and most stressfully without computers.

I never want to go through a day like that again.

*HUGS*
Shall I curse them?

No, I did enought of that when the screen went black.

I bet..

Me storming round to check all the circuit breakers in the house, only to find it was the gas men who had bust it. Strange image.

Very...
Happily my house remains intact, although our streetlight doesn't.
Gas people are a bad thing... Transco said we'd have to wait 2 weeks for hot water 'cause they didn't have a part... happily Estates and Buildings sorted it out within 2 days of the problem being dumped on their desk

Handy, the worst thing about today was that without electrisity out heating doesn't come on. So by the time the lights came back on it was freezing.

I suppose it would be. Ugh.

But its much warmer now though.

Good.

And the computer works.

Better...
The main building is going to be hot waterless tomorrow, but I'm hopeful my house will be unaffected...

I been there before, in halls without water isn't fun. Even worse if there is water but its all brown with rust and "stuff". *shudder*

*shudders too*

Best not to think about it for too long.

These things we do not think about, lest they drive us mad... like labs, and water, and getting up in the morning

I much prefer getting up in the afternoon.

Geting up should be discouraged whatever time of day

No, You must get up at some point during the day. How else do you H2G2.

Its okay at home, where I can actually stay in bed and use the laptop and be online...
Here I do have to get up, though
