So here's a fun thing.

Northern power grid sent me a letter last week to tell me that on Wednesday they are going to cut off the power so they can perform essential maintenance. Because I work remotely in a call centre I won't be able to get any work done. So I booked the day off.

Anyway they've just cut my power off today. On Tuesday. Lovely.

Ah damn! No warning at all? Do you know how long you expect the power to be off for?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Powers back on now but they're still cutting it off tomorrow as well.

Anyway I don't care I just went to go see the new superman movie. It beats working.
